Happy 2009

Hi 2009,

Beginning of last year, around this time, I purchased my first drum kit, and Jesse and I had a very first practice as a 2-piece band. We were very worried, and didn't know how things were going to work out.
In March 08, we played our first show at Fort Awesome (house party).

Since then, we played so many local shows to get used to playing as duo, and we went off for Deerhoof tour for 6 weeks.
Deerhoof was incredible. I've learned so much from them and from their audience.

I feel so thankful for all the people who've seen us play in 2008. Portland people has been treating us really well, too.
There will be a lot of fun times and challenges ahead of us in 2009, but really looking forward to seeing many of you.
