You mention that there are wonderful things that musicians are doing with sound right now like you aren’t one of them. You have been one of the most original, refreshing acts that I have ever witnessed, regardless of the countless number of small, and even huge mass radio friendly bands, that I have seen. I can’t tell you how many times your music has stirred a multitude of emotions in me, and hell, even brought me to the point of tears because it’s just SO incredibly overwhelming.

And this is all without saying how you are as individuals. There hasn’t been a time where I haven’t enjoyed your company, or haven’t at least chatted with you guys at a show. I would LOVE to get the chance to chill with you guys somewhere/ get to know ya’ll better/ treat you to Nachos since I guarded Tristan’s for him, back in the day :). The last show I was at was the one in Poplar Grove, IL, with the Dear Hunter. I said Hi to Mark, and he was busy and said the casual “Hey what’s up man?” back but not much else. Ten minutes later, he comes over and sparks up a conversation with me, apologizes and says that he was stressing at the moment. That’s something that will stick in my head, as representative of what amazing individuals you all are and how you treat your fans and friends.

I know this is a novel, but to sum it up, I’ll surely be continuing to spread word of the Culpa to those that I meet ( I’ve already developed a large fan base among my friends), and rest assured Mark, you have at least one person that will be playing the Culpa’s CDs for their children in about 10 years.

Looking forward to the Miramar in November :).
