Big Days. .

So this is my girls first day back to school. I wish so bad I could be there with them. To hold them and tell them how proud I am of them. To show them I love them more than anything. To be a part of these days. Maybe they're nervous? Excited? I will have to ask them on Friday. I wrote them a letter today, and I will every Monday if I can. I will pursue them as much as I always have. Being away only has to feel as far away as I let it. Do I wish I could be with them everyday?? To be present as they grow and mature into beautiful young women. Yes. But what is . . . is. I am in acceptance mode these days. Decisions have been made and now it is time to make the best of them. No matter how hard they may be.
I love you Emma Rose Mackey. Good luck in First Grade honey. You make me so proud. . . .
I love you too my darling Sofia Grace. If you are nervous today going into Kindergarten, remember Daddy loves you, and don't be scared. I am sending you squeezes and hugs. I love you both so much. . . . . . so much. . . .

Musical Friends. . .

One of my most prized and valuable fortunes are the friends I have made musically. Musicians are a very unique breed of people. Creative and artistic and emotional. With that spectrum lies many strange characters for sure. When you connect with folks musically though, it creates a very special bond, that is tough as nails. Some of the greatest people in my life I have connected through music. I love you guys so much. . . you know who you are. I feel so fortunate to have stood beside you and laid it out there for the world to hear and ingest. You are as much me as I am you. We are brothers. . . .

So I am off to play the biggest festival I have ever been able to play in. THUNK is playing with some major acts. There is going to be some big open jams late night and I plan on finding the guts to get up on stage and jam with these guys. What better way to find you edge and expand it. I am nervous as hell but what the fuck? Who cares. I am where I am musically. I feel good about it and cannot wait to put it out there. Sweet!! Looking forward to a good old fashion blow out. . .

Off to do Denver things. .

Girls and I are off to the Aqaurium. Our first excursion. I'll take pics and get back to you. We're going to ride our bikes. . . now where is that sunscreen? . . . .

New Home

so we made it. . . I am a Denverite. I live in a little tiny 700 square foot studio, my shit is all over the place, and I love it. I am stoked. I think mainly I finally have mental respite from all the mayhem with Angela. I have moved on, just like everyone has said for the past months. I am excited all over again and I can honestly say I hope Angela finds what she is looking for. I get parking next month, and that will be the icing on the cake. It is kind of chaotic right now, but once I get my space I can bring El Moto down with me too, which I am excited about. I am on the hunt for anothe MotoHaus Location next week too. I am stoked about that for sure. I get to do it again and meet all sorts of new faces and make new relationships. Here I come. . . .
