Sure the music is incredible but it's much more than that..
there is a whole TSAR VIBE going that has rocked every galaxy
from the milky way to snickers! (it's over by the edge somewhere..
if you can call it an edge, er, whatever, nevermind.) You just do
not get radder, beautiful and more INSPIRING! guys than our Tsars.
It's impossible to convey in mere words what every day, every
hour, every minute spent with them has meant, but that's just
the point..that even every minute has been incredible. Whether
it's inspiring me to smile a little more, kick ass a little more,
or read Russian lit a little more, and without the understatement
usually belied inside this cliche, Tsar have made my world, and
I hope the same one I share with my friends, a brilliant place..
Steve, you always managed to make me smile, giggle, or in any
case just a little bit happier no matter what last Fall threw
at me. A hug from you can stop any tears, even from the meeeeean
people in DC! ;c) Although life was being radder this last tour
and sharing haappy times with you was astronomically better than
anything I thought earthly possible. You are honestly the most
talented drummer I've ever known, and don't think I'm just saying
that. Really. You are stellar...
Jeff, I don't think I have picked up a real book to read
in...years? But you've certainly helped find the little reader
I lost somewhere along the way.. You are one of the most
brilliant people I know who also needs to learn how to take
a compliment. ;c) It's also difficult to explain how much
you mean to me but I suppose that's sort of appropriate..
Most of the time words aren't needed anyway. Just sitting
beside you can evoke a spokenless conversation in and of
itself. I highly doubt you know how awesome you are, but that's
because I've known you all along in someone else we know.
Dan-O! Only you can get away with rolling your eyes...LOL
I think it took the longest to get to know you...maybe
because you always crashed right away after the shows..hehee..
but now that I do, I love ya Dan!! No one suspects the
butterfly, eh? ;c) To sum it up in an unfairly brief way,
thanks for listening, understanding, helping, and "thanking
me in a different way".. >;c) Ravenclaws rock...
Whalen, you *are* my superhero!! You continuelly save the day and
keep everyone calm in the process.. there's nothing missing except
the cape. Although I suspect it was shoved in your bag somewhere.
You never failed to rescue me whether it was getting my car back
for me, or for all the other things you've now done! Seeing you
smile onstage lights up the friggin room like sunshine.
Never thought it possible to love and respect every guy
in a band this much, but Tsar are not just any band..
Check out Shannon's Tsar site! The pictures I
took at the shows last Fall are up on there
along with all of her beautiful close-ups!!

how to get it back to good.."
