Thank you for telling the stories of those who were vulnerable. And thank you for finding the right words to talk about the darkness no one knows how to talk about.
I'm not sure if you remember but the first time AN came out to australia you played a small show with a band called 'I Killed the Prom Queen' terrible band and especially at the time probably not great people to be around but it was the first time I saw Sean Kennedy who played bass for them. He was wearing GUTG hoodie, had some expensive jeans on and a fohwak and was a kind of drunk that just oozed style. I instantly hoped we'd become friends and was lucky enough to become very close with him and tour a bunch a long his side in other bands. He had great taste in music, movies and was such a kind soul. A few years back he did the same as your friend. He was one of three of my friends in a period of six months. I knew he had his troubles but from what I'd heard he was doing really well. It was extremely hard to heat. His wake rekindled a lot of lost friendships which was a small silver lining. But I know what you mean. The world feels a little less bright without him. I know he loved AN but was maybe to shy to ever speak to you, I don't remember if they did the whole tour or just opened for the Melbourne/Naarm shows. I miss him a lot. Strange world how the first time I saw him from afar was at one of your shows and later we became friends. Not sure what that means but I only recently remember that that was the first time I saw him. Sending love and condolences. Grief is a none linear thing in my opinion and I don't really feel that I ever really want to let go of that. I can remember the good times but I also want to feel the pain. I'm a little jealous he had the courage to do what I never could. That's not a cry for help, I just mean it was a shock. Maybe survivors guilt. I love and miss him very much. Viva Love forever ⚘️
I remember Sean and am sorry to learn of his passing. He was kind and cool to me both times I was around him on separate tours / diff bands back then. I hear you regarding guilt & jealousy too. Those are normal feelings and why you gravitated to begin with. Life’s too short I think now. Kinda curious to see the rest of it. 🌻
Thank you, that really means a lot. He was so kind to everyone, always putting others first. Yeah, feel the same way; want to stick around and see what happens for better or for worse. ❤️
While I'm sure I'm one of many readers who'd be interested, I'd be interested in possibly being the part-time assistant you mentioned needing in the near future. My favorite way to assist people is by sorting through projects that can be a tedious mess and making sense of it on their behalf. If this is the type of assistance you're in need of, I'd be glad to be available.
In the darkness...I don't know how to talk about it either. I appreciate you sharing about Travis. On the lighter side...polaroid izone camera. Every photo I took with one of those looked just like that.
Death is just a moment, that is a powerful truth. And for us, trapped in this world made of time, as fateful and transcendental as it is, we can´t ever experience it in its true mysterious form no matter how many nooses no matter how many scars. Death only exists in the past or in the future, and so it is always eluding us. Until it won´t.
Florence Farr said something very simple but so concise: "A god uses limitation as we use a chariot, not as we use our bodies, identifying ourselves with them."

The mower stalled, twice; kneeling, I found
A hedgehog jammed up against the blades,
Killed. It had been in the long grass.
I had seen it before, and even fed it, once.
Now I had mauled its unobtrusive world
Unmendably. Burial was no help:
Next morning I got up and it did not.
The first day after a death, the new absence
Is always the same; we should be careful
Of each other, we should be kind
While there is still time.
Thank you for sharing this. We all have our own wars going on and you're right, you just never know...
Always be kind to one another. That act of kindess can do wonders.
Its true, can push someone through the moment...
“…hang the noose it'll eventually come loose.” 🖤🖤🖤
2007 was a much different fishtown. You wouldn’t even know it anymore when you go back. Thanks for sharing this, made me think of some friends. ❤️
I try to get in and out when I’m there. Usually just sit backstage and wait. Too sensitive.
I love your attitude so much.

I'm happy that you survived.
Thank you.
Currently reside in fishtown. Just curious of the whereabouts that you lived here.
These posts have been very touching and poignant. Thank you for everything.
It was on Dunton St around the time Johnny Brenda’s opened.

I think you're right...
I caught Sad Lovers & Giants when they did a few west coast shows, maybe 2016.
Thank you for sharing Travis story. This is how people live on that were vulnerable.
I remember when those happened but was out of town and have never seen them unfortunately...

Have always wanted that broken flag boxset.
I had 2 til last year. Would’ve given it to you had I known.

Happy to be there.
