Free Ticket for Millcreek on 23 January

Friday, 23 January, we're playing at the Millcreek in Philly. First person to email me and mention it gets a free ticket to the show. (Sorry, but since the Millcreek is a bar, this one's 21 and up.) -Ryan

2009, Here We Come

Hiya,

I hope you had happy holidays and are enjoying the new year.

December was great for me. I played a bunch of solo shows across New Jersey and Brooklyn. I got to hear a ton of great new music, catch up with some old friends, and make some new ones. I'm looking forward to more of all that in January, with the added bonus of getting back to playing with Jimmy and John again. Here again, we have a bunch of new shows.

I'll be playing two more solo shows this weekend, alongside my friends in Starfish HQ as they tour their way Down South. After that, the full band will be back in action for a show in New Brunswick and a show in Philly. At the end of the month, I'll be playing another solo show at an all acoustic venue in Brooklyn. Here are the details:

Get out your camera

For the past six months or so, we've been criss-crossing several states giving away stickers and pins and selling T shirts. I'm kind of curious about where all that stuff ended up, so here's the deal: Take a picture of what your Glad Hearts T shirt, pin, or sticker is up to right now and send it my way. I'll pick at random from the pictures I get before 31 January, and the winner gets his or her choice of a Glad Hearts T shirt or a pair of tickets to your choice of Glad Hearts show. All the pictures sent in will be put up on at least one of our web sites (unless you ask otherwise).
