Leaving Florida. The Journey Begins
I came to Florida as soon as I could to help bury my friend Adam the Woo and do what I could for his family and other friends. I ended up staying for weeks, until there was nothing left to do but leave and start the healing process myself. So I'm leaving. Trying to get up and get the show on the road. Nothing is normal still, but we're gonna do the best we can.
