By the time this posts, I'll be on a plane back to America. It's been a long two months, but also it's gone by incredibly fast. I don't want it to end, but I also want to get back to my normal life. It's a very complex feeling and I find myself completely frustrated by it.

A couple weeks ago, I began make "A Trip Down Memory Lane" Posts. I was in Japan. Travis was living in Florida. Nick had just left for the Caribbeans. And Brad was all by his lonesome in Austin holding the show together. I've never doubted the people I'm working with. They're all my friends and I'd rather work with them than anyone else, no matter what the reason. We're all friends, that's why we were able to leave and go so far apart from each other. I knew Nick and Brad weren't happy about me going to take a two month vacation/hiatus from the show. But they let me do it cause they didn't want me to miss out on an opportunity. So they took all their worries that I might not come back and shelved them away knowing full well it was a possibility.

It was the same when Travis left for Florida. I wasn't happy about it. Beyond just him not being on the show, Travis is a really good friend. I see him kind of like another little brother...from Hell. We knew that him going to Florida would limit his availability, but it was his life and he had to make the decisions that he deemed correct. We'd never want him to look back on his life and regret not making a certain decision, so as a group we let him make it.

So where does this leave us now? Well, back a couple weeks ago, when we were all in our own separate corners of the world, we got to talking. Travis missed Austin, TX and I knew I'd be coming back from Japan. Recently one of the roommates bailed on rather inconveniently. But it turns out that it became a convenience as we'll have Travis move in.

So I'll see you tonight. I should be back to the apartment in Austin by 7 PM. And Travis will be back on April 1st, no foolies. Think of it as a getting the band back together again kind of thing.

    It is great that you guys can be so far apart, but still have such a strong friendship. What you are saying really translates sometimes when you're broadcasting and I think that is part of the reason that 4pp has grown so successful. I look forward to seeing all the seats filled once again!

    Just be sure none of you date a girl that ends up ruining the band(like yoko ono) and 4pp will be one of the greatest & strongest podcasts ever!

    3 of the guys under the same roof, now that's gonna be interesting. Also it'll be nice to see the 4 of you guys on the podcast more often now.

    I hope you guys plan to have Nolan around as well. I think he makes a great addition to the podcast/broadcast.

    If you guys are going to be doing podcasts together, will you keep Joseph and Nolan on the show?
    They almost always bring interesting thoughts and ideas to the table.

    Crazy how fast 2 months passes. I'm sure you will treasure the memories of your time spent living in Japan forever, seems like an absolutely unbelievable experience. It will be great to listen to you back as a regular on the show. Have a safe flight.

    On a more serious note, I think it's totally awesome that no matter what you guys, all best friends, are going to be back together again.

    Many epic events shall unfold.
    I can already see everybody in chat saying "Welcome back, David!," Welcome back, Travis!"
    And of course the noobs who will be asking "whos the asian dude," and "hey is that nobunaga."

    Cheers.

    Yaaaay! Baaaack together agaaain! I really hoped you enjoyed your vacation in Japan David. Can't wait until April fools day when Travis/Nobunaga makes his return! Looooooove the new 4pp gif. Maybe Travis should be wearing a Viking helmet or something, that would've been more appropriate for him lawls. I missed the crew being together :( We should all shouldn't forget Joseph and Nolan, they've done a great job in the podcast. Hopefully they'll still be here. Can't wait until tonight's broadcast!!! :D

    I am so glad you guys were able to hold up such strong friendships with each other I am looking so forward to seeing the whole 4pp gang together once again. Welcome back, Nick. And an early welcome back to Travis too. You guys keep doing what you do. And Brad, you have no idea how proud I am that you kept broadcasting and what not while everyone was away.

    Aww that was so sweet lol. But it's nice to see how strong your friendships are. I started watching 4PP at a time when Travis was already in Florida but I have watched him broadcast before, so it will cool being able to see him on more often. Can't wait for the reunion :)

    I think Oscar Wilde said it best when he said.

    Sums you guys up pretty nicely.
