It's been hard to put into words what this weekend meant to me. Making a graphic didn't feel right so here's a photo we snapped at the very end of the night. There will be more recap posts to come, but I couldn't let another day pass without saying THANK YOU. Thank you for believing in us and helping make Never Say Never real. Some people have asked what "Never Say Never" means, and really it's a call to do whatever it is that you want to do. It took me 29 years to start playing music because of fear and shame and a lack of confidence, and I don't want that to happen to anyone else. So if there's one thing I hope you took away from this event, it would be that it is NEVER too late.
