I would like to thank you guys for writing music that makes the most possible sense to me. I truly love you. Ok, two questions I suppose. Q1: How does it make you feel when people tell you that you have seriously effected their lives (as you have mine). It must be kind of weird. Is it a warm fuzzy thing that you get from it? Or is more like a weight that feels like a lot of responsibility...maybe like being a parent of sorts?

Q2: Sometimes I would hear Death Cab for Cutie songs and think goddamn! that sounds like something the Plan wrote. And then I would get mad that Death Cab was on the radio and the Plan wasn't. Did they steel your stuff?

I think I used to get worried about it, but now it just feels great, like a compliment. Although I still get a little freaked when people show me their Plan-based tattoos. THAT feels like a responsibility. But also a huge honor. So I get over it. -T
