After having 6 kids, my parents took a breather. Can’t blame them. Breather? With having to take care of 6 children, how could anything sound like a breather? Yeah, good point. Well, anyway six years passed and then voila! There I was. Precious, isn’t he.
My dad said I was mature even as a baby,…

Here are some photos of the ‘curve ball’ we threw you guys for our show at San Francisco’s Fillmore last week: SF Giants pitchers Barry Zito and Matt Cain joined us on stage for “Save Me, San Francisco” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Thanks for coming and helping us show some hometown love, fellas. If you need someone to fill in for a few innings this season don’t hesitate to give us a call!

I made my daydream a reality.

I don’t know where to begin if I should start at the very beginning of my Train journey or to just start writing about the most incredible 2 weeks of my life.

How do I begin to describe the best 2 weeks of my life with some of the most amazing people I have and will ever meet in my life. My feelings and emotions of the last 2 weeks can not be described with just words. You have all touched my life in the the most amazing ways.

Meeting you all has and will continue to shape the person I am and will be. I am sitting in my old house on campus at the moment trying not to cry in front of my friends and strangers.

Train saved my life and continues to everyday, the people I have met and still haven’t met, shining lights like Charlotte, have given me the strength and inspiration to keep fighting everyday. The goal of meeting you all in America one day was the one thing that gave me the hope to keep going you all helped keep me here. Life is incredible and I feel so incredibly blessed to have each of you in my life.

The biggest thing besides the friends for life I now have is how much love you can have for a person who you have only communicated with online. You all told me what a shining light I am and how I have this energy about me and how beautiful I was. I was going through so stuff before I left and you all finally helped me realise that I deserve more that I am an amazing person who shouldn’t settle for less. That sounds a little conceded.

Everyone thought I was crazy for following Train across the world and especially just going to San Francisco to see them. The memories and the friends I have made on this trip will stay with me for life, fingers crossed I don’t get dementia.

Weirdos and Train made this the trip of a lifetime, and I am only 22 and I have the most amazing experiences that I am so thankful for.

There is much more to come I’m just not in the right environment right this moment to write more.

Happy Birthday, Pat.

Man, you deserve the very best on your birthday! 

You have changed my life in so many ways, and brought so many amazing people into my heart; I will never be able to properly thank you. You taught me to believe in not only the Universe, but also myself.

You may not realize how much you have inspired me, but your music and your message has helped me on so many occasions.  I hope you know how much I love you, and how much so many other people love you too. You have a gift, Pat. You have a way of bringing people together, and spreading a joy that is entirely different than any other.

Thank you. I hope that you have a beautiful birthday full of love, and laughs. 

I cannot wait to see you later in the year. 

All of my love,

Charlotte

There aren’t better singers than Whitney Houston. Not now. Not ever.
She was very special. Sometimes the most fragile objects are the loveliest.
We have all missed that greatness that she has been keeping from us long before today when she moved on the the non-physical life. Being a prisoner…

When I was a kid, I would watch award shows and see big music stars and big time actors saying they loved their fans. It always made me crack up, knowing none of them would ever go out of their way to give any of their fans the time of day. It’s actually kept me from saying I love my/our fans on…
