Hey Guys.

We've been working on tour stuff today, excited to kick things off this Friday night at UGA in Athens. (As a sidenote, i am a little sad about having to miss Coldplay. They're playing Orlando that night.)

i want to say thanks to everyone who responded to yesterday's "Meet Zach Williams" blog. i talked to Zach for a while this morning and he was really moved and encouraged by all the kind words. He wrote a blog in response and you can read that HERE.

We're excited to announce that Zach Williams will be joining us for three dates on the upcoming East Coast Tour. He will be playing the first two shows, Friday in Athens and Saturday at Clemson. He'll also be joining us in Brooklyn on Saturday, 11/15. That's a show we're just now announcing and that one will have to be "An Afternoon with To Write Love on Her Arms", because it starts at 4pm. Super excited about this one as i spent a few days there last week and it got me thinking... that maybe life in NYC has a lot in common with life in community. Both require sacrifice. Both mean being vulnerable. Both can be really difficult, but people choose NYC and people choose community because, ultimately, they believe it's worth it. There are easier places to live but ask any New Yorker and they'll probably tell you that it's the greatest city in the world, that they couldn't imagine living anywhere else. It seems there's something healthy about living life with other people, living among stories and conversations, inviting those things and choosing those things. And then it seems like there's something about inspiration as well, like we were meant to be moved. For me, there's something about being in a place where so much is happening, something about all of that history and beauty, something about that skyline...

Anyway, it will be fun to talk about some of this stuff. We hope to see you in Brooklyn.

TWLOHA presents Heavy and Light.
House of Blues Orlando
Artists and info TBA

PS2: Have you heard The Gaslight Anthem? Aaron Moore played it for me last week when we were driving from St. Louis airport to Greenville College. He called it "college driving music" and i thought that was pretty funny... Anyway, good band. i dig the sense of urgency and the stories in the lyrics. They're out with Thrice at the moment. If you see Dustin, please give him a hug for me.

yes sir, the gaslight anthem is such a good band. and many songs on their new album, The 59 Sound, are about pain and loss, very twloha-sensitive topics.

I'm so excited to hear that Zach Williams is traveling and that TWLOHA is moving around as well. =) I really wish I could see some of the things Jamie is going to be talking about in NYC, the event sounds awesome. On another note, I'm also extremely THRILLED to hear that TWLOHA is doing another Heavy and Light here in Orlando. That was probably the most moving thing I've ever attended... I can't wait to see you guys soon. =)

hey, you guys should totally come to Chicago! Underoath played here last week, and i cannot even begin to count how many people at the show had TWLOHA tshirts on... there are definatly a lot of people here who support you guys!!!
and also, i would absolutly LOVE it (hehe, no pun intented!) i used to have depression really bad, and i was cutting a few dozen times a week, and i thought a lot about suicide during that time. now i'm doing a lot better, im on antidepressants that keep me sane, lol, and the last time i cut was over a month ago! praise God! i really wish i had known about TWLOHA when i was going through those hard times... knowing that there are so many people out there who struggle with the same issues i did would have been a huge help and support.
