Hey, guys. You all know me. Some of you may know what happened last month. For those of you that don't, the week before Christmas, in the middle of a hectic time of year, my van got raided with half of my timpani mallets and most of my percussion accessories and sticks. I did an inventory on what has gone missing and found that it adds up to about $1,300. Obviously, this is a totally fucked up and devastating situation. We all know someone who this has happened to, and this time, it's me.

It is incredibly difficult and humbling to ask my friends and peers to help me out in this way, so I appreciate all of you no matter what you may or may not be able to contribute. Hopefully you all had a restful holiday season and are ready to take on the new year. I will be seeing you all soon at a local watering hole or concert venue.

Thank you for everything!
