TESS: *smirks*
KAZ: I hear they're slower to go after surfers between November and March though. Might be the prime time to don a longsuit and hit those waves.
TESS: I think I'm gonna hold off on that plan until a warmer visit home.
KAZ: Be home in LA soon...
TESS: That's more of a possibility.
2/2✅

*together* Hit the waves/surf it out.
TESS: *chuckles* Both raised on the coast. The ocean is our Zen I think. Last time we indulged? *looks at Kaz* Chile?
KAZ: *nods* And it was chilly! *jokes* It's too bad we'd have to contend with icebergs and frozen sharksicles up home right now.

KAZ: middle finger to the alarm clock and sleep in till whenever, eat whenever, hit the beach whenever.
TESS: Ohhhhh that was before you had kids though. I think we're all going to have a rude awakening when we hit 'home life' again. *chuckles* You been poked in the eye by a toddler while trying

TESS: Right now, our routines are typically guided by our manager. If we've got interviews, photo shoots, music videos, or fan greets to do, then we're all corralled into vans on his precise schedule. Hung over and exhausted or not. *chuckles*

KAZ: made all the better with all personalities involved. Even the ornery ones. *grins*
TESS: *shakes his head* He'd be lost without us. He might never admit it, but he wouldn't know what to do with himself.

KAZ: What??
TESS: And as for the rest. Music, with others. Surfing, ditto. Solo things? Composing, sometimes going for a drive or a ride. I've never really been alone long. Big family and close family kind of ensure that.
KAZ: I'd rather do everything around other people. I think activities are

KAZ: Extroverted all the way. I bring the fun to any & all occasions and drag people who hesitate into it with me. *grins*
TESS: *chuckles* I'm somewhere in the middle, leaning more towards introverted when left to my own devices. We can't all be nonstop party animals.
KAZ: *gasps*

TESS: out... and realizing was love was and wasn't.
KAZ: And now you're gonna tie the knot with your 'adventure'. *grins* Don't think we saw that coming even though she's been a staple of our group for years now and a damn good cook. *pats his belly* That was definitely a fortuitous meeting, if

KAZ: decided that our 'littles' are gonna both front their own bands. They've got the wail and screams down pat. *jokes*
TESS: I think, beyond being a touring musician, learning to let my guard down for someone... wanting them with me 24/7 has been an adventure. Getting to know her inside and

KAZ: *chuckles* Bringing the family on the road with me... well, us. Can't deny it hasn't been easier to have all hands on deck, but there's something to be said for being sleep deprived from more than just countless late-nights after shows. *takes a sip of his drink* Nope. I've

TESS: *shakes his head* Not sure we can reasonably sneak in another 90's throw-back look, man. Carson still rolls his eyes about all the promo we put him through to arrange the last one.
KAZ: The man has his own stash of lycra. You can't convince me otherwise. *jokes*

TESS: pace of it all was insane, but what I do remember of it was wild enough to deserve a spot on the list of favorite ages. Think we were early 20's so over a decade ago?
KAZ: *slowly smiles* That's just making me wanna dip into the treasure trove of clothing trunks in the rig you know.

TESS: like I'd be sticking my nose up to quite a few other great moments in my life.
KAZ: Nah, no one should be offended if you pick something from when you were younger. *shrugs*
TESS: I'd pick that first tour with Rothchild. The newness of everything. All the sights we were blown away by. The

KAZ: This age. This has been a really good age. Our girls are nearly a year old. Successful 5th tour. Really can't complain, especially with the holidays coming up. I'm ready to be stuffed with a variety of pies and rolled back home. *grins*
TESS: *chuckles* It's hard to pick really. Feel

TESS: half-starved by 1:30pm. The rest is going well. Sound check was good. Everyone's in a good mood because I think they can feel the end of tour approaching.
