Well today is the second day in December. Here in Michigan the ground is covered in white and the air is cold and dry. We have had a great Thanksgiving with our families and are looking forward to our last show of the year. We met last Sunday to discuss what the next year will look like and all that we aim to accomplish. It was a great meeting and we filled an entire whiteboard with exciting goals and ideas. So December will continue be the month of planning. We have one last show of the year lined up on the 17th in Twin Lake, Michigan. This will be a great end to a great year. Our good friends Mike Mains & The Branches will be playing as well and we are going to do the song Sender/Receiver. For those of you who don’t know, Mikey is the one who does guest vocals on the second verse of that song.
The year 2012 is one in which we hope to be on the road touring as much as possible. We did all we could to get the album recorded and released before the end of the year and we accomplished that. But now is the task of really getting it out there. The feedback from the album so far has been tremendous. The response on our first tour of the album was really encouraging and all of us feel very proud to sing these songs night after night and see people connect to them. So, if you are wanting to see sosaveme live, we really aim to make that happen next year. You can help by posting your state in the comments below and we will take note and put it on our list of states!
Thank you to all who made The Garden possible. Thank you to all the Kickstarter supporters. Thank you to all of you who have become friends over the course of this year, and thank you to all you who’ve we’ve never met but are somehow connected to us. Just because we haven’t met you in person yet doesn’t mean we are any less thankful for you.
We also wanted to share some of the Christmas spirit by offering everyone 25% off on our online merch store. Most people enjoy saving money and we wanted to do what we could to help. So if you get some time, check out the merch store and pick up a cheap CD for a friend. iTunes may be convenient, and we certainly appreciate those of you who have acquired the album that way, but opening a wrapped CD might prove to be nicer than a gift card.. They look bigger than gift cards which makes you look like a better friend. HAHA. Just looking out for you.
