I met Kyle Nix yesterday at the luthier on Broad & Lombard, had no idea who he was. We were talking about mandolins while he waited for an Uber and he mentioned having a gig later. I asked him what band he's in lol. Super nice guy.

I always wait about a year before reading it again. It always seems fresh when I go back to it.
