even though the matches are over, i will still check this page every day.
it's hard to portray sincerity through a couple of words, but you are most welcome; though you are the ones who should be thanked.

so thank you.

No, thank you. For an unforgettable weekend this past august, for the incredible friends who I know through The Matches, and of course, for the music.

Even though it was bittersweet, The Matches final show was one of the best times I've ever had. It was amazing to be right up front singing along one last time. So thanks to you guys again.
I sincerely hope you'll still update this blog now and again though. I always enjoy reading things from your unique perspective.
Can't wait to hear what Maniac has in store!
Take care, <3

Please don't stop updating the blog, I don't think that anyone wants that. Some of my favourite blogs are the ones that have nothing whatsoever to do with the Matches, but the ones that let me look at life from a different perspective. Or, if you can't update here, please start a new blog that has nothing to do with your side projects, but a personal blog, because that would be awesome beyond words.

I can't believe I'm never going to hear a new Matches song again, so I'm not going to mention that, so, just, keep blogging?

...or at least comment saying whether you will or not? Please? (for a faithful fan from England who couldn't go to one last show?)

Sorry. That was blackmail.

i really wish i could have been there. it was only this time last year i saw you last. and it makes me so sad to think it's over.

BUT. maniac sounds promising, and Jake is such a rad guy. and fantastic dancer.

I still am crushed that the Matches won't be making any more music together. From the recent interviews, it really seems like the end now and not a hiatus. Nevertheless, i am glad you guys are still pursuing music. Maniac is absolutely amazing and once again, like everytime the Matches release a new album, you've shown me a new side of music I've never heard.

Thanks so much for all the songs that meant the world to me, and super good luck to you and Jake. Good luck with your art as well!

Here's how I look at it: if Sugar Ray can make a come back, so can the Matches.

But, regardless, I'll see you in the tomorrows to come, Skintree. You know you're loved.

Your shows were the best I've been too, and it sucks I'm on the east coast and missed a lot. But I sincerely thank you for being such a big part of my life.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
