I'm sooo envious of you TLD! I would give a nut to hear him sing in an intimate setting, without thousands of other people. He is definately the shit, as is Tool ( best band on the planet people!! ) and anything else he touches. I've always felt a closeness with him ( we share the same b-day April 17th!! ), love the depth and intelligence of his lyrics, and gone to great pains to see them whenever possible. Seen 'em bout a dozen times now, twice @ Coachella ( '99 w/ Rage!!!!!! and again 2? years ago, had to come from Pac. N.W., but them's my boys!!! ). Haven't tasted his wine yet, but I see it's available now, so i'll be pickin some up soon!!!
Anyway, sorry for any kinda jack on your thread, just had to share my love for the man also!! I hope your frienship with him remains!!
Your growing is awesome!!! Gotta give it up to you. Wish I could do like you guys in Cali., aside from good soil you have the primo growin conditions!!! Scribed, +++rep, and i'll be watchin!!
