Look out for a blog discussing his experience at SXSW from Kenan soon! (Hopefully).

whats the good word?
In a few hours, I’ll be boarding a flight
from LAX to JFK to work on my sophomore LP
and then drive back to Cali playing shows
i still haven’t packed yet…
but i’ve been planning outfits in my mind
can’t go to NYC without the Carhartts
and i can’t leave Cali without Chucks
and Cortezes and Wallabees and Palladiums and karate shoes
“back in the day, when i was young…
i’m not a kid anymore but somedays i sit and wish i was a kid again” -Ahmad the Great
waited my whole life for this moment
no better time than the present
and i’ve never felt better
kissed my girl goodbye and told my Mother
I loved her
You can’t prepare for the future
Anymore than you can prepare for LIFE
but im ready for the world…OH Sheila!
Finally preparing for take off
but i set flight long ago
and i’m afraid of heights
so i’ll never look down
stay up
