Symptom of Tour: Johnny Rotten Challenged
May 17, 2010
Hey y’all! The tour has been going well. We’ve shared the stage and a few laughs with some great bands, Platform One, School of Rock, Mortuus Ortus, Agnes Wired for Sound and of course Bella Morte, whom we played our last show on the road with last night at the excellent club The Loop Lounge in Passaic, NJ. (Run by the nicest folks you’ll ever meet.)
On the tour we’ve been surrounded by love. Thus far, we’ve played 5 shows, with 4 more to go. We’ve given out over 500 condoms to enthusiastic music lovers who have been open to the message of safer sex. I’m so happy to be fusing my passion for HIV education and awareness with my love of music- both will only be stronger for it.
Okay, back to the vlog- this is another funny one that involves the David & Goliath tale of Synthetic Division taking on Johnny Rotten. More vlogs coming as soon as I can edit them together- time on tour moves at a pretty rapid rate. Hope everyone is safe and well out there.

Midway Point of Tour
May 15, 2010
I’m seriously backvlogged right now, but am having a wonderful time at the halfway point of the Bella Morte & Synthetic Division tour. We’ve shared the stage with some wonderful people, and Josh and I have had some adventures on the road. It’s just been the coolest thing, and I’m glad that everything came together and I actually did something I’ve been wanting to for a long.
Promise to be back soon, just wanted to let everyone know I’m safe and sound and having (one of the) times of my life. More goofy vlogs coming soon.
Positively Yours,
Shawn

Vlog: Meet Josh, See Band Practice
May 8, 2010
Synthetic Division tears down the fifth wall, and let’s you in on a band practice. Never before in the history of music has a band given the public such a close and intimate view of the inner workings of the industry. 
If you’ve ignore the previous vlogs you gotta watch this one. Why? You’ll meet Josh- Synthetic Division member (the West coast arm of Synthetic Division Inc.) and longtime friend. He arrived from Los Angeles on Thursday, and it’s been great hanging out and getting reading for the tour.
Enjoy the vlog! And a big happy birthday to one of my favorite positoids of all-time, Bob Bowers, One Tough Pirate. We all love ya and the work you do, brother- keep it up! (Read about Bob in Poz, and visit him online at One Tough Pirate)
Positively Yours,
Shawn
