Back Home in L.A.

red_steve.jpg

Hello there my friends. Back home in Los Angeles, pulling my world back together after the tour. I stopped posting right after the tour started but kept on documenting it. Once my head stops spinning I'm gonna post up the videos, blogs, and pics from the last six weeks. It became pretty apparent after the tour began that posting everything I was recording would take a lot of time away from actually experiencing the tour, so I saved it til now. We had an amazing time, and thanks to everyone we met on the road, and who came to see us, and all the new friends and fans we made. I'm still in a screwed up nocturnal state, but am acclimating to civilian life nicely.

My cat is still alive, no one stole my car, and weather here is predictably perfect. I sure miss rainy Portland, though. There is so much to tell you all, and I'll do my best to give a proper download in the next few days/weeks. That and catch up with American Idol, and go see Zodiac soon. All my best to you!

Hello Steve,

My name is Julia and I am a current "Arts & Entertainment" and "Features" writer for the RHS Patriot, a newspaper run in Revere, MA. We are located about 15 minutes from Boston. I have interviewed such artists as Michael Tolcher, Marty Casey (of Rockstar INXS & of The Lovehammers) and have plans to interview Les Hall and Howie Day in the future.

I am interested in conducting an interview with you (either in-person or via telephone) for our publication.

Some guidelines are as follows:
- A telephone or in-person interview is preferred, but if neither of those are possible, just let me know and we can definitely work something else out.

- I would also prefer to record our (telephone/in-person) conversation via recorder so that I am able to quote your words accurately when I transfer the interview to an article. If this is a problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

- This interview would not have to take place on a specific date or time, I can definitely work with whatever days/times you have available.

I can also provide you with a selection of my previous articles (in document format) via e-mail or I can send you a hardcopy of the paper itself, whichever you prefer.

If you have any questions, concerns, or if there is something that I didn't acknowledge, please feel free to let me know.

I completely understand if this request is not possible, but a response would be greatly appreciated asap either way.

Thank you for your time,
Julia

Looking forward to your recap of the journey and any photos and videos you might share with us.
I can relate to your reasons for not posting everything as you went. It's the same reason I took fewer pictures of you guys at the last show. Sometimes you have to make a choice to either document the moment or experience the moment.
Glad you are home safe & all is well.

-Kim

the last show was the best.

The man has returned ... and that makes me smile. Glad to hear that you had an amazing time out on the road (even though we all knew that you would) and I can't friggin wait to see / hear all of it. I'm bouncy with anticipation!

Oh yeah, and come back to the east coast asap. We already miss you over here.

-Kristen

Can't wait to see the videos of your tour. I missed you. So glad your back. Talk to you later.

Welcome back! Miss your wisdoms and humor but will look forward to the unfolding posts. Really glad the cat survived your absence. Does your cat punish you for going away or become like cat magnet superglue- not allowing you out of sight, blocking view of TV, newspaper,books computer and everything else?

We missed you! Can't wait to see the videos and pics!

I can't wait to see it all! I wish the tour wasn't over. I'd bet you do too. I'm sure it's like slamming on the brakes. I'm sure there's more to look forward to just around the corner, so hang in there and treasure the downtime.

A special request: When you start uploading, could you please upload the shot of the agents you took outside Radio City to flickr, or drop me an email? You're the only one who captured the moment, and the group of us would love to see it!

Click your heels three times...

Spreading the love,
Deena

Sleep well!

hey steve,
glad ur back and enjoyed the tour
can't wait for the videos
missed ur posts

-sarah

Welcome home! I bet you have awesome stories to tell and I can't wait to hear and read all of them!

Yes I was wondering what happened to the video you shot of all of us in the Casino in AC ;-) OR like Deena mentioned, the picture either you or Siggy took of us outside Radio City! I soooo want to see that!
It was so great seeing you again over here on the East Coast! We had so much fun in NYC, I hope you did too! NYC needs to see more of Steve!! Come back soon!

Montreal Rocked. Glad to see you posting again..I dont know how many of us came here everyday just in case. :)

Welcome home! Looking forward to seeing everything you documented on the tour.

I also have March 17th marked on my calendar to go see Zodiac!

Welcome back Steve! So sad I never got to see y'all out on tour but maybe soon. Anyway...can't wait to see what is in store from your tour coverage. You are always very interesting and just damn adoreable.

STEVE!
We missed you!
I can't wait until the full load of updates. I was completely lost for the last 2-3 weeks... well not completely. But you get my drift.
Hope you had a fantastic time on tour. I've heard nothing but great things about you guys. Take care.
-Cynthia

YEY!!! a post!! I'm so excited. I can't wait to hear the stories and better yet see the vids! Glad to hear the kitty is good. I know mine would be mad at me for a few days if I was gone that long. lol. Can't wait for the updates!

Hey Steve,

Nice to see you're back. I'm looking forward to all of your pics and updates from the road. Feel free to bring TPC back up to the pacific northwest anytime...we always have lots rain for you. ;-)

Welcome back, Mr. Isaacs. You were definately missed here in the cyber world.

Welcome back Steve! Can't wait to see all the videos, pics and to read about your experiences on tour! TPC kicks ass in concert. I was so fortunate to see TPC play live in IL. Dave mentioned that you guys are getting back in the studio soon to track some live recordings. Hopefully, a new album is in the works too!

Excellent! I can't wait to see the pics and videos from the tour! I knew you'd have a bunch of goodies to share when this thing was all said and done...

Hey Steve

Glad to see you got home safe and sound. Get some well deserved rest and THEN CAN'T WAIT to hear about some TPC dates ;). You guys are truly missed. Looking forward to reading your blogs about the tour and seeing the videos and pics.

Be well
Deb

Steve -

Was great to see you on tour at the Worcester show...you definitly were the highlight of the night and just worked the room. The stadium really suits your performance style. Here are photos I took at the worcester show, feel free to use any that you wish...shoot an email if you need raw/larger images.

Glad you guys had an awesome time on tour! Look forward to seeing what you will post!!!

Steve, can't wait to see some of the stuff from the tour. Thanks for being such an excellent documentarian.

BTW - Portland misses you too!

Dawna

Welcome home! I'm so glad I got to see you guys again this tour in Baltimore. Sorry the turn out wasn't that great, but everyone I heard talking after the show had nothing but good things to say. Can't wait for all the goodies to get posted! Good to hear that you had a great time on the tour, but as many have already said, we missed you here in cyberspace.

Good!
I cannot wait to actually see how went the tour as I didn't attend the show !

whats up steve, glad everything went well. i'm wondering if anything is going on with the band or anything the weekend of the 23rd. i will be in l.a. and would certainly like to get into something fun like that. either way, i'll be around checking it out. take it easy.

jeff

*sending some love*
that is all

Wow - Killer job in Long Beach! First time seeing and hearing you boys and I just had to tell you "RIGHT ON!" I am looking forward to another album (with more hard stuff) and another concert! Keep on rockin' cuz you've absolutely got what it takes!
Stage performances rocked as well! I will definitely be at the next show! Can hardly wait for more !!! >:o]~

Steve,
What an amazing show in Baltimore, I was blown away more than the previous show I saw in DC during the Spring 2006 tour. I hope your re-entry goes smoothly and your head stops swirling!
I was also very inspired by Obama's announcement speech and you posting it the next day made it that much better! Thanks for all that you do to make this world a more interesting place..

Andrew

I'm getting to be such a much bigger fan of yours! :) I bought Breathing Water and got a copy of Ones and Zeros (can't find a copy disc copy). :) I think I have one of the singles 'in the mail'. Anyhow, Love them! Hope you decide to do some shows with or without TPC in the near future!

Steve just wanted to say, "great job on the acoustic performance" in Vancover...

You are extremely talented. Hopefully soon you will record some of your songs in acoustic.

Thank you again for inviting us on the bus, it was nice talking with you and sharing your music...

I and H...

saw this and thought you might appreciate it...

Basically, all ya need to know about American Idol is that Blake Lewis is the best guy, and Malinda is the best girl. I'm rooting for Blake. His "beats is phat," as they say. Hehem.

hope to see some pics/videos soon. glad things seemed to go well. we loved you at the myth. hopefully you'll all get back in the studio & cut another one!

We saw the show in Arizona, TPC stole the show! I bought the CD and have every song on my IPOD. Please update us on when and where you will be performing next!

yup :)

OK, pokey, let's see all the good stuff you have from the tour!! We're waiting...I'll give you a cupcake.

Sue, you said it! Where are you hiding Steve?

Geez Steve- I really don't want to say this but I just must. You are slackin man - drop us a crumb ok?

Meanwhile back on the farm...Steve is SLACKIN!!

Come back.....

:)

Am I going to have to start setting traps to find you, Mr. Isaacs? You giveth and then you taketh away ... or just disappear.

Come on back!

I won't set traps, but I'll send some sweet treats!! Been reading past posts, too bad we can't post more. I'm halfway through 2005. ha!

Hi
I just wanna ask if I could use the TPC logo for a tattoo design, I've tried to reach you befor. I understand that your very busy but still I need your approval. I can show you what it looks like when it's done.
I will not do the tattoo desing if anyone from the band don't want me to. I just thinks it fun to desing tattoos and your logo gave me an IdeƩ, but I need your approval. thatx for your time
All the best
Love Alex.

Hello Steve,

I'm your big fan living in JAPAN.
I wanna see your shows but I can't...because I'm not good at English and I don't have much money to go to America...so Why don't you come to Japan?? I REALLY want to see your show!!!

With love from Japan.
Akiko

let me know if you're coming to vegas...would love to see you!
