'Hello world. Jon Walker here, letting you know what is going on with life. I am in chicago right now, hanging with friends and family, talking about the world and freezing my knees off.  Cats are good, they are going to have a new friend soon, more on that later. I am really excited for the holidays and even more excited to start working on our new album.  We have been writing songs all year about the places we’ve been, the things we’ve seen and the games we’ve won. We are planning on working on those songs as well as writing some even newer ones after the holidays are over. Excitement sets in. By next springtime we will be back in your town, eating your food and drinking your drink. Hope you miss us as we miss you. Thanks for a wonderful year, heres to the next..'
