Iit's that time of self reflection as society grinds towards the solstice holiday. Sorry if I offeneded any Druids out there by reference to their holy days.

To be fair, I did the self reflection thing during our 3 day management conference a few months back.

Yes much of this exists purely in my head, but where safer?

The other day, Steve W. casually congratulated us on a big year. It made me stop to think about it.

Inward reflection again! Yay! How exciting! Rather than post new music or a new vid, lets stick another semi confessional but artfully propagandist blog out there. 

Ok, kick back and chill for a moment.  I still have the dregs of my coffee and some music going. Nice.

It has been a big year.

We toured DC Bellamy on the East Coast of Aus. 

We recorded two albums.

We released an album.

We did our 3rd US tour.

Each of those is a reasonable achievement for any given year, let alone getting four done in one. That makes a year in the stormcellar like a dog year.

BTW Dog years are actually 4:1 rather than 7:1, contrary to popular belief, but the first two are like 10:1, confusing, but...too much math you say>? Ok.

We've been well fortunate, to borrow an Ali-g-ism, and we don't confuse Luck with Skill. We've been bloody lucky.

There are a lot of talented, excellent musicians out there, that don't get to do as much fun stuff as we do.

We're fortunate to have the support we do from so many people, and it's entirely likely, Dear Reader, that you are one of those people. So thank you.

Else why are you here? Go watch cat videos already.

Hmm.

Kitty.

Anyway.

Group cohesion? Check.

Morale? Check.

Batcrap crazy planned workload for 2016? Check! Why not.

I've been battling tech disaster with my mutant hotrod PC and hopefully once I have won that battle i can finally put some more vds up.

Stay tuned, we're busy as all get out.
