This joke is more clever than the karma you received for it.

Yup. Watching Empire right now.

Also, Jar Jar was great as a kid. Probably my favorite character in the movie. I would walk around the house talking like him for weeks (probably to my dad's annoyance). Rewatching Phantom Menace as an adult... holy shit.

Hi Kevin! First off, I’m a HUGE fan and your work means a lot to me. Not only your songs, but the way you come across as a person (intelligent, humble) is an inspiration as well. I’ve met you several times and the first two times were within a year of each other, and you said “Haven’t we met before?”. I heard you do the same to others you genuinely recongnized.

The first time I saw you was at a Bad Books show in San Francisco. It was one of the most fun times I’ve ever had at a show. You talked to everyone afterward for a long time, signed stuff, etc. I tried to give you a CD of my band Every Atlas afterward and you said you liked the artwork. I probably rambled a lot and sounded like an idiot, but I was really stoked. A lot of times I’m afraid to meet an artist because I want to separate them from their songs in case they come across differently in person (it’s happened before). You were above and beyond what I expected.

The time after that was a free acoustic show in a park in Davis (maybe Berkley?. I’m an idiot and didn’t want to bug you with another CD, but you accidentally left the copy I gave you on the BB tour van, so I probably should have. Especially since I’m pretty sure you drove to that show yourself in your car.

SO my stupid question is: will you listen to my band? You’re a huge influence on us, especially my songwriting. We just released two new songs on our band camp (everyatlas.bandcamp.com). I feel like an asshole each time I do this, but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t. I mean, you’re a record label exec now. (;

Thanks for the great memories. You guys killed it on the Bubblegum tour.

That's probably one of my favorite KD songs ever. When it cuts to just the acoustic guitar, I get chills all over man.

Could you tell us a little bit about the kickstarter rewards (some of the larger ones) finally coming to fruition? How has it been? I like that we got to hear the song you recorded with one of the backers (I forget her name).
