I didn't get to see them the last time they were here....stupid sold out show. >.>
So, hopefully, like you said, they'll announce some american dates.
Although, my friend, who met them, said they'd do another tour here before the year's end. :]

THANK YOU. :D<3!

and I say, screw biology and go. (if your parents are okay with that)
just ask one of your friends to take notes for you or something?
or ask them to tell you about what you missed. (:
if like, you need to know things about it/information only ...

but like if you have to PHYSICALLY be there, maybe you can miss one day of the camp then go to the rest of it?
I really hope you find a way to go. ):

I quote from Mibba:

San Souci.:

The Matches have gone through some rough times, like many other bands. And they came close to giving up after the release of their second album, Decomposer. Now, with the release of A Band In Hope you’d think things would start looking brighter. They didn’t quit, they’re still alive and kicking. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The record hasn’t been so well received and there are fans completely tearing it apart, seemingly not caring the slightest about the effects of their hurtful ways.

Some people turn their back on bands as soon as the band changes something, may it be tweaking the sound or changing their image.

The bands notice this. They will hear it, they will see it, they will feel it.

And they will get hurt.

We may wonder what we can do about it. What difference can we make?

All the difference.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Nelson Mandela

Help this band see that. They need to know that they’re appreciated. They need to know that if they are afraid we will not stand a chance.

Together we can make a difference.

Let’s shine.

They deserve a hype as big as MCR's Keep The Faith.

Where could I find My Doe pt.1?
It's not on Zune and the internet doesn't seem to think it exists.

well, you could have gotten it from their song vault.
but that's not working right now and no one knows why.
and trust me, it does exist. because myself and tons of other people own it.
i could send it to you sometime, if you want...


LMFAO DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I FRIGGEN LOVE MATT WHALE(N)?
I'M NOT SURE YOU DO.

I do too, but if it's a tour with bayside.
there's not a chance at all that they're going to be the one's headlining. /:
ugh, I really hope that's not true, though. I mean.
Bayside are okay... I guess. but just like. ugh. ><

and I can send you the song, Sam.
I don't think their song vault's going to be up anytime soon.

Ahaha Whalen looks like a little kid there ^^

It really, really, really pisses me off when I hear people diss ABIH. A friend of a friend posted bulletins on myspace telling people not to buy it because it was a waste of money. Most other "fans" I know had to listen a few times to fully appreciate it but still didn't go off the band completely because of it. Ugh.

Anyway, this book thing sounds like a good idea. No idea what I'd contribute though.

Blahhh I'm gonna talk to my mum about skipping the first day of Biol camp... she's let me miss school to go to concerts before so I hope she'll be okay with this *fingers crossed*.
