  2. hey justin this is anthony. If you dont remember Im the bald kid from the calvery chapel jr. high camp. your songs are so awesome. I thought it was so cool to be there at your concert. I really wish I went on stage when you called me and all of my friends up. I cant stop listening to your cd that I bought. Its a good thing that I bought a cd at your concert than online or else it would have been ten bucks more. your so cool. I wanted to buy a button too but I only had $6 and I wanted a guitar pick and a cd. If you want to comment back my E-mail for myspace is baseballhero@myspace.com. I think its pretty cool to travel around the world doing concerts.

  3. Thanks for the note, Anthony! THE PACKINGHOUSE ROCKS!!!
