One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the great privilege of performing at SXSW in Austin, TX last year and was just surrounded by great music and amazing people for a week- one of the best times in my life. Im headed back to Austin in early January to visit the friends I made down there.

Seeing Radiohead perform in Bilbao, Spain last summer at the Bilbao BBK festival. We got to the stage hours in advance to get a good spot and ended up right against the guard rails. One of the best shows I've ever seen. We had no place to sleep that night and crashed in the Bilbao subway only to be woken up by the cops and thrown out haha

I saw a man walk a slack-line over Yosemite Falls waterfall in california a few years ago. That was one of the most amazing things ever to see!!
