Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Armor For Sleep 

I’m sure there are more but these were my immediate thoughts…

holy shit, I just found my letter to Settings I wrote when Katie made that scrapbook thing for them!

I guess I deleted everything regarding promoting/streetteaming for them off of my laptop except for this.
and I don’t think I want to delete it even now….

but here is what it said: 

HEY GUYS!

It’s amazing how far along the band’s gotten since I first met the lot of you last January during your tour with There For Tomorrow and The Morning Of. Since then I’ve been pretty much hooked ;]
For every song you’ve released onto your myspace I’ve loved the next even more. It’s very rare I come across a band where I love EVERY SINGLE SONG they’ve made. But you guys have managed it. Your music is so much different than anything that is happening in the “scene” right now, and I really appreciate it. Never change your ways just to get more fans, sooner or later kids will realize what they’re missing out on and fall head over heels for your music.

I’ve loved being a “cheerleader” to the epic journey you guys have been on since first meeting you. From winning a spot on Taste Of Chaos to being on the Atticus Compilation [!!], you guys have deserved every bit of it.

As people I’ve seen you guys change as a band and grow in amazing ways. From every member change you’ve gone through the band has only gotten better over time. You’re all such talented musicians and writers and the world has no idea what’s in store for them once you take over ;P

Never lose your hunger to succeed and keep up the amazing work.
Congrats on the new EP FINALLY coming out, I can’t wait to snag a copy for myself!
Have fun on Warped Tour, I’ll see you when you come down to Florida. :D



With lots of love through every step you take,
Andrea V.

p.s. I promise to start being a better fan/street team leader and get back into my promoting you mode. haha ;]

this seriously just made me miss them that much more.
but it’s good to remember how much I loved them and supported everything they’ve done in their short life as a band :’3
