The Washington band's third album arrived to me in Arizona during my darkest time, comforting me like an emissary from the Pacific Northwest, where I was determined to move to start fresh.
Thanks, Jim! Flag is a great town for a visit but would be hard to live in. Had lots of friends up there in college who I loved seeing, and I always loved going back to Tucson! Glad you found your way home.
Wow, great read. I just found this article by chance, but I really enjoyed the whole thing. I'm also a recovering heroin addict. I've been on methadone.......13 years.... BUT in those thirteen years I've stayed "clean" minus the methadone of course and bought a home with my partner of 9 years and done a lot of work on myself. But the next step is getting off methadone. My highest dose was 240mgs, yes you read that correctly. And now I'm at 110mgs. I'm also a lifelong guitar player and I also picked up drums 8 years ago. I've loved modest mouse since i was 13 years old when my sister's friend gave her "This is a long drive..." and I quickly decided to take possession lol. Anyways thanks for posting this it was really a great read and very relatable for even more reasons than I've listed here.
Great stuff, Aaron. I had my own "WTF am I doing in Arizona?" moment a few years earlier and about a hundred miles north in Flagstaff.

Even "great place to visit" is debatable!
LOL, great place to get vegan biscuits and gravy and gtfo
