John's opened a Patreon for long form essays, interviews, podcasts, and (supposedly lol) even music!

Not sure if there's anyone who still lurks these halls, cares to know, and otherwise isn't informed, but thought it would be worth sharing in case!

Eight years later, and are band webpages even still a thing? :(

Username checks out.

Would've loved to have been there. Thanks for the review. Here's to hoping that video sees the light of day.

Waiting anxiously for the details! :)

Wow. I didn't realize that WSH had enough of a following to hit their goal in the first 24-hours. That's ... wow. Congrats to all involved. I'll be jumping on and pitching in before the campaign is over. Can't wait!

Running out of time on 2017. Hoping for a Christmas miracle! :)

For me the only awkward part was when Kathleen was introducing a new song and she started to talk about her recent breakup. It was obviously still really painful for her and I just wanted someone to comfort her and tell her she didn't have to talk about it if she didn't want to. Depending on how ne...

Like Patr!ck, I (very) subtly inquired about the album. There is "Lot's of music recorded". Also, John played it for JoCo and the JoCo Band in the van, and the Maester of Nerds says it was great. So that's good, eh? You nerds. When I spoke to John in May, I'm pretty sure I said something along the ...

Steven Page performed with John on the 5th is Rochester, NY, and (as it turns out), Kathleen Edwards DID show up to perform Honest and Commander with John in Toronto.

Recording should be up in the next 10 - 12 hours. ;)

EDIT: Snuck it in in 9 1/2 hours! http://blog.haterhigh.com/?p=3801

Next Long Winters album.

I hope.

LOLerskates.

I'm trying to get Kathleen Edwards to show up to the Toronto gig for a song or two. John's already said on Twitter he's in, but no response from her yet. Checking her tour itinerary, she was in Philadelphia yesterday, and is off until the day AFTER the John and JoCo show in TO. So if she came home f...

I didn't even look, assuming Toronto wouldn't be on the list. Facebook told me otherwise! So glad the drought is coming to an end!

Amazing!

Kathleen's live show is SO GOOD right now. Just saw two shows this past weekend (see: http://blog.haterhigh.com). Wish I could travel to Europe, too.

Oh, did I mention my friend who is studying to be a luthier is making me my very own customer acoustic guitar to my specs? It's almost done! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/166967_10151095050685384_700090383_22348282_481298216_n.jpg Does this picture word? Stolen from Facebook...

I heard Eric now plays with Slayer as a touring xylophonist. Can anyone confirm or deny?
