T A Y Was Jesus a carpenter or was it his stepdad? It'll come for us all, you soon enough. Looks like the no smoking is going well. No mother's day, trying to quit porn, couple band practices in the meantime. Nothing to report.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Yeah, well, cutting down for now. Shooting for my birthday. I'd rather have a dozen other things take me out than bad lungs. Sounds good. Yall playing anywhere big soon?

[taylor maitson]

T A Y Shoot for the day after, who doesn't want a smoke on their 30th? You'll still have time. What are you hoping will take you out? Governors Ball, wanna come?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Well if axe throwing and a gun range make it into my birthday plans, maybe one of those. Accidents with a saw or floor jack are up there too. I like your music but I hate festivals, no thanks.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y Axe throwing death would be so gnarly, I'm sort of hoping for that for you too now. Ideally in old age. Oh come on, it's VIP, not like you'd have to deal with the festival elements much.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron For you, maybe some pyrotechnics gone wrong. Or too-hot yoga. When is it?

[taylor maitson]

T A Y Sweating to death, that sounds horrific. Second weekend of June.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron ODing or crashing off the PCH is too cliche though. That solidifies it for me. No thanks.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y Nah, I'll leave those to my bandmates. I'll probably die on a hiking trail or something way less rock'n'roll. Why, what's so special about June?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Who do you think is last one standing? I have a big date around that time. Been on the books for a while now.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y Me, if I can ease up on the partying. You plan dates that far in advance? How long are we talking?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron How's that going for you? 15 years. Old high school promise, long story.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y Haven't had a comedown in two months so not bad. Thanks for asking. .........

[aaron eklund]

Aaron What, you never promised to meet a girl on the exact date between your 30th birthdays to find out if you still love each other 15 years later? Must just be you.

[taylor maitson]

T A Y What a ridiculous romcom move, I'm half impressed, half horrified. Talk about pressure.
