    Hey Guys.

    We're in Austin, Texas for the South by Southwest music festival. There's 40,000 people in town for this. The busiest street is Sixth and there are these two banners on the corner of Sixth and Trinity...




    i'm headed to Tallahassee, to speak at Florida State University tonight (friday night), along with our counselor friend Michelle Moore. (Michelle and her husband Aaron give countless hours in lending their voices and wisdom to TWLOHA.) Also, our talanted friends Band Marino will be performing acoustic. Our ties to Band Marino go all the way back to the original TWLOHA story, so we're excited to have them with us for an event. The timing worked out perfect as the guys are headed out on tour with As Tall as Lions. Anyway, if you live in north Florida or Georgia or Alabama, or you're feeling like a road trip, we would love to see you...

    We hope to see you soon in Texas or Florida or maybe next week in Michigan or Vegas... Keep an eye on the calendar for everything we've got coming up. 

    TWLOHA is about individuals. In the midst of all the busyness lately, all the planes and the places and the plans, i've been reminded that the heart of the matter is simply people. We do this stuff with you in mind. We tell these stories and we hang these banners because we believe that we're all in this together, that people need other people and that people need to know they're not alone.

    When we were trying to figure out what the banner should say, Chad from our team suggested that we try to say something about the Lone Star State being less lonely this week. We couldn't figure out how to say it, but i think he was on the right track. Our hope is that wherever these words find you, that you might be reminded that you do have a story, and you are connected to countless other stories. All of it is certainly important and you are not alone.

    Peace to you.

Hey!
I'm so happy that you guys got to go down to Austin.
I couldn't go,
but I will be there April 18th,
a month after you.
I'll be thinking about you and the team
when I'm on the corner of 6th and trinity.
I hope and pray to see you all soon.
Thank you for inspiring
and changing lives!
:D

Love,
Erin Hotchkiss

I just heard about this organization from my best friend, and I've read everything, and now I'm like "wow"
Please come to Toronto! I don't have muhc more to say x)
but please continue to do what you do
I have another best friend, and we're really close. She fights with her brother a LOT and last time I was at her house she even threatened suicide.... I'm not sure if she was serious or just fully angry, but I got so scared...
