David, if only you were really going to read this ... well, I'll write it anyway, just in case!!! You have touched our hearts in just a few short months. Like you said, last year you couldn't give Analog Heart away. Now, not only are fans paying big $$ for it on eBay, we are lining up to pre-order "The New Album" as yet unnamed.

Thank you for giving your time and energy to touch our lives. We love your gracious attitude, your humility, your generosity, your honesty, your forthrightness and your personality. And you're easy on the eyes (understatement). We really miss seeing you on AI every week. But thankfully we've had Larry King Live, the Today Show, TRL, Nightline, Leno, Jimmy Kimmel (Guillermo was hilarious) etc -- so thanks for making the rounds with the press.

Please take advantage of any downtime you have before the tour starts. I'm sure that you and the other AI Top 10 have costuming and rehearsals coming up in a big way over the next 12 days. Try to get enough rest, before the big tour starts. You guys are going to have so much fun seeing America!

I was really excited to read on Wikipedia that you had played with Caroline's Spine, who I love and have seen when they came to Tempe years ago....

Lots and lots of love and best wishes from Arizona, your first stop on the tour.... I'll be sending you good vibes from my seat at the arena.
