Truly can't believe I'm about to see Hayley again after 20 years - last time was at Warped Tour in 2006 back when I was just a baby emo in a Paramore cover band.

I lost the Ego Death war, but PFA got me through losing my mom a few years ago and I'm stoked to hear so many songs from both of them. FFV absolutely WRECKS me emotionally, so I'm not even mad about it being less featured.

That Warped Tour happened the year I lost my Nana (my grandma) and, in a strange twist of fate, I'm seeing her this week after losing my Pappap (my grandpa) in May. It feels like whenever there's grief to be processed in my life, I can always find Hayley releasing something into the void to ground me.

I'm working on getting my merch business off the ground so, to commemorate this full-circle moment and stamp all the emotions that will come with it into my psyche, I designed this RLVI sticker to share/trade at the Mountain View show at Shoreline coming up this Friday and a shirt to wear along with it!

A few of my friends would be wearing the shirts too if USPS hadn't lost the package, but at least I've got this one.

I know the Bay Area is full of creative people (I was one of them for 10 years!) and I'm so curious to see what other folks are bringing along. Anyone else want to share? 

See you out there!
