Dearest SLH -

I wanted to send this note out to all of you before the rest of the world
so here it is:

On behalf of my band, I am excited to announce that we will be playing a
SPECIAL SHOW at the Metro on February 6th* to celebrate the FIVE YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF ALMOST HERE'S RELEASE!!!

Almost Here has always been a reminder of where we come from, and we
couldn't be more excited to celebrate with all of you at our favorite
venue in the world.

Pre-sale tickets will be available exclusively for you this Thursday the
17th and will come with some extra special goodies.

Love,
Sisky Business

Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

Heyyyyyy guys! Long time no see. Or write. Or whatever. If y'all even know who I am anymore...?

Even though I've slowly stopped listening to TAI... (I think mostly just because I've listened to them so much I needed something new haa) I want to do my senior dance solo next semester to a TAI... song since they've accompanied me throughout high school. My dilemma is that TAI... is very obviously a rock band when one tries to choreograph a dance to them, so I'm having trouble picking a song. You Might Have Noticed is a very possible contender with the huge ol' problem of a giant cuss word at the beginning. Is there such thing as an edited version of it? I'm assuming not since it never came out as a single (let alone that it's like, the most unappreciated song of theirs) but I thought I'd try.

I posted about this a few days ago but I suppose everyone doesn't check comments.

( click ) Okay so when I started it I didn't realize how many people would actually want free ones.

When I got well over 300 orders...then I realized.

Why haven't you received yours yet?
Because I probably wasn't able to get to you yet.
I post on like 5 websites, not realizing the amount of people who would respond.
Making prints is costly and time consuming.
Paper costs $80 and you make several prints.
Shipping costs money.
I don't have a job.
98% were completely free.

Worst and sad part, this year while in the dark room, someone stole half of my William negatives. I left my binder on the counter and came back to the sleeves ripped out and a few negatives shoved in the side pocket.

I thought I covered everyone who paid, if I didn't please email me and in the subject put !paid, you will receive something more then the 2-3 5x7s [I know there should only be 1 maybe 2 of you. If I receive more then that I know you are lying.]

Summer time I go on Warped and are not at school to use the dark room, so I couldn't mass produce then and during the year I've been a ton more busy then I thought I would be. Color dark room = time consuming.

HelloxElla@hotmail.com , please only send one. You will be receiving 2-3 5x7s not an 8x10 some are color some are b&w
Name and address. *If you like Alex Deleon or FTSK state that and I will mix one of them in there.
They are ready to go: http://i45.tinypic.com/t5siuc.jpg

Tune into Fuse's The Raccoon Society on Dec 19 from noon-1:30pm. There will be a live Q and A featuring William and Kill Hannah's Mat Devine!

Also, Chicago - don't forget that William will be performing an acoustic set on Dec 19 at Reggie's. "A Night in the City" is a benefit show, and all proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

Sorry to be a pain... it's possible this has come up already and I didn't see it... (I haven't been lurking here much lately)

About 8 months ago someone first offered pictures that she took of William. I paid her some money and she told me she'd send them.

She then left for school and didn't have access to the dark room. I posted here and she responded saying she'd get them out soon.

It's now december and I haven't gotten anything. I tried sending her an email and the address bounced back.

Has anyone else who ordered prints been having this issue? Have they gotten their prints? I'm really annoyed and getting pissed... if she doesn't want to send out the prints, just tell me and give me my money back!

I think this is pretty good.

Bill, Sisky and The Butcher were just on MTV Styl'd
LMAO.
It's like the Pete Wentz, Clandestine episode.
The House of Harlow/Clandestine Fashion show
I don't know, I was randomly flipping and went...waiiitttttt...

They helped Bill pick out an outfit...aka, Grey jeans, Black button up, Grey vest with the red button.

Edit: They just did a little recap, apparently some guy styled them all...ummm....so he uh put their own clothes on them...they look the same way they do everyday.
But uh, congrads dude?

Edit: They show a bit of their performance and the designer is pretty much like upset he had to work with them. :| rude.

err this.








Caption: Although Brett is disappointed when he's not assigned to style the girls, he still shines while working with The Academy Is.

sorry guys... there was an imeem player of TAI's cover of "Working Class Hero" but apparently when myspace bought out imeem they have fucked it up. I'll fix it when I get home....

Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is anyone out there that might be attending a TRS show soon and would be willing to get a copy of You Gotta Believe for me and i'll pay you back for it or if someone is willing to sell a hard copy that they own. I know that it's available on iTunes but i really like having hard copies of the music i own. If anyone can help me out, please let me know.

Thanks in advance. :)
