Hey all!
It's been a while, so I thought I'd drop in and say hello. We've just completed our first week of work and are finally adjusted to this new time zone. Trust me, it's no fun when 8pm rolls around and you feel like it's 3am. Then, your eyes just pop open somewhere between 4 and 5am. Yeah, it's even more fun than it sounds. Well, I'm finally sleeping like a normal person again and have the mental capacity to truly enjoy the beauty that Sydney has to offer. Life is much better.

We spent three days recording 5 songs of the week which we're all really excited about! I can't wait for you guys to hear them. It felt so good to be in the studio again and singing new songs together. It's been well over 2 years since we've done that. I'm sure you all are just as excited to hear new tunes as we are to sing them. On Friday, we got our first look at some of the new clothes we'll be wearing. The girls look excellent, and Shaun looks okay. I'm kidding, the costumes and everybody in them are looking really cool. It'll give you creatives out there something fun to recreate in miniture sizes for the kids.

Saturday was wonderful as I spent it out in Manly Beach. The sun was out for a bit before the warm summer showers came down to cool everything off. It's such a relaxing atmosphere over there that makes this boy from New York just sit back and sigh. Today looks gorgeous as well. The air is so clear and the sun is shining brightly. I can't wait to get out there and enjoy it!

I wanted to thank you for all your congratulations on the Emmy nomination. I about jumped through the roof when I heard. It feels pretty darn good to be lumped in with Sesame Street and Blue's Clues.
We're going to do our best to get back for the ceremony, but we'll see. But really, how often do you get to go to the Emmy's with a nomination in your pocket? Take every opportunity you can, right? So, I hope you all are doing well and know that we're working hard down here so we can all enjoy some new episodes and music soon. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you on our next tour.

Your friend,
Curtis
