WitnessThinks…It’s Time To Move.

So I’ve been neglecting my musical internets.
Again.

But this time, it has nothing to do with my intermittent tendency to disappear from the planet and drink cheap beer with my friends. Actually, life has been turbulent over the last few months; work, school, rent, relationships and music have been fighting for attention and I’m way too clumsy to juggle all of them proficiently. So, I decided to let the wind die down before I started walking again.

The wind never died. But it did change direction.

1. I’m moving to Minnesota at the end of May/early June. Likely to Minneapolis or St. Paul. This will be exciting, if only because there is no such thing as underground Hip Hop in MPLS. At all. Never has been. It’s unheard of. I will be a trailblazer. I’ll also be attending school and building mad igloos for warmth.

2. I fell in love with a girl who lives there. She makes delicious chocolate chip pancakes, possesses other-worldly air hockey skills and makes the sunrise brighter. I never thought someone a thousand miles away would feel like home. She’s my heart. I wanna build her an igloo.

3. I’m hitting the road for an extensive national tour with Input and Reason the Citizen in September. Hopefully this will make up for the canceled February tour to the West Coast. We’ll likely be playing a very similar route to the one we originally laid out, with more shows. Sorry for the delay in updates. More are on the way.

4. I’ve got three releases in the works right now. One you’ll hear relatively soon. The other two I’ll announce more about as the year wears on.

5. My move doesn’t mean I won’t be playing any East Coast shows anymore. I’ll still make it out every other month or so to french kiss the coast line and play a weekend or more of gigs.

So, that should serve as a status report. I’m sorry I haven’t returned very many emails, myspace messages or IMs lately. I’ll try to get back to you all within the week. Oh and if you’re from Minnesota and you have any recommendations for me, whether it be restaurants or record stores, if you’re an emcee and want to link up for a show or if you want to be my “In Real Life” friend, shoot me a message. I’d end with “I’m all ears”, but that’s kind of gross in a literal sense and impossible on the internet.
