TO THOSE WHO GOT IN: I hope you had a wonderful night despite/because of the whole weird atmosphere and the shitty, echoey sound and me being freaked out and fucking up a bunch because, other than the altercation with the bodyguard, I had a wonderful night and I had a blast playing even though I was having a panic attack for the first 4 songs and, well, despite the hecticness of the whole evening, I wouldn't change a thing because I got to see Wayne jump up on top of a brand new sports car and throw confetti all over it and I got to watch the poor Mazda people clean it up afterwards and I got reunited with my friend Curt who moved away from Lawrence 5 years ago while I was on tour and we lost touch until about a week ago.

TO THOSE WHO DIDN'T GET IN AND/OR WERE TREATED SHITTILY BY THE SECURITY: I honestly can't apologize enough and I feel confident in speaking on behalf of everybody else when I say that there are no words to say how terrible we feel that you were treated like that just because you wanted to come see us play. You have to know that we snuck in as many people as we could and we would have gotten all of you in if we could have. I can't reiterate enough that this show shouldn't have been made public in the first place. We agreed to play it thinking it was a private, invite-only charity event that would pay for our movie. We didn't know it would turn into all of this and we are very, very, very, very sorry."
