TOMS (shoes for tomorrow)

I'm in the van with Carlos from TOMS shoes. He told me Blake, the founder of TOMS had checked out our blogs. In response I thought, "Better blog!"
This weekend, we started "We Need Each Other" the tour. We've had three great shows so far and our fans have raised over $60,000 for building wells in Africa (mochaclub.org). Also, we have partnered with our favorite shoe company, TOMS, to help put shoes on little feet that need them (tomsshoes.com). They will also be my "shoes for tomorrow" when we perform a benefit concert for Extreme Makeover Home
Edition.

Hey! I saw your show on Saturday; you guys were pretty rockin' awesome! It was nice that you guys got to play a full set. Last time I saw you was at Swartz Creek Hometown Days (when the whole fairground was covered in about a foot and a half of water) and y'all had to stop after 4 songs because of sound ordinances. Anyways, I loved the show! God bless!

Hey Matt,
Don't know if you saw it, but there is a picture of you in the new "Woods and Steel" magazine. Which is Taylor Guitars newsletter. It's that shot of you on the set of the your last video holding you new G series with a paragraph write up. Just thought you'd like to know. From one Taylor owner to another, I'm sure it's an exciting moment.
