according to Shawn...

"The Matches have been writ. We remain friends, but the days of recording and touring together are over. I'm proud of what we achieved, and am happy to leave that untainted for us and the fans."

^ Nice vids! You can hold the camera incredibly still, unlike me... I only have two up at the moment, 'cause they're big and internet sucks here.

Kind of a royal hassle to get home and hang, but worth it, I think.

just got home, this weekend was intense. its nice to be able to put a (real) face with the names i see on here, although really i only remember a few of the connections made (most were 'oh you're...' and then forgotten). i intend on posting pictures this evening, got only a few crappy ones (as well as crappy video) from la but tons of good/decent ones (and more crappy video) from sf. i admit it, i cried (though at the time it was just 'sweat') and i'm really glad that...

Yeah, was cool to meet you all for the first and hopefully not last time! Thanks for the car ride and cookies.

I would like to see these photos. But if there's someone in them who I wouldn't consider a full boardie, it'll ruin it for me... Just sayin'

Does anyone remember the setlist from the Fillmore? I almost have it complete. I'm gonna post it on my blog in a little bit. I'll post the link when I do. But I think I might be missing a song or two.

1. Did they play something in between "Didi" and "Papercut Skin"?
2. Did the play Eryn Smith? After "Chain Me Free", I vaguely remember hearing the lyric, "Your bitchin." Maybe I imagined it. haha

Help me out if you can....

My right foot is so bruised up.
I had to escape after Superman, I was so sweaty my fingers were wrinkled and i could squeeze it out of my hair like i just stepped out of the shower.
I'm happy to have been half in the middle and watched the rest from afar, Because i was able to really watch it and take it all in with out being distracted by the sweat burning my eyes, the crowd pulling off my clothes or the task of not dying.
For me it didn't really sink in that it was...

Dear, dear Matches fans,

We've spent 2009 soul searching, as a group and separately, starting new projects and having lives outside of our little white tour van. We've been lucky to have been 4 artists (well, 5, really) involved in a nearly decade-spanning group project, and have been even luckier to have you as an audience. However, our time to start new projects has come, and right now, The Matches has become something we prefer to look back upon proudly.

Not...
