My other friends ripped on us Soo much and it sucked but me and Gary never stopped being open minded to different genres, and to that im eternally grateful to for that gift.. and we got to see them live 2x for the four calendar cafe tour..i miss him Soo much and desperately want him to see this, he would've flipped out how amazing this is!
