A blank message board. Not for long. Currently 1am. Venice is quiet at night. Sometimes I hear the waves even though the beach is a fair distance. And the planes taking off from LAX. The streets here don’t have streetlights. People walk their dogs with torches, or flashlights as they call them in Amurrka. I was told there were no seasons in California like there are in the UK and Europe but there definitely are. In October and November for instance, it gets really cool and misty at night. Then there are times when it gets really windy – around January, and all the palm trees get a free haircut. I’m writing. Trying to write. Now that Clay is in New York, I have taken over a bit of his room. It’s in the roof. I feel like nobody can hear me. I bloody hope they can’t. So where is everyone else in the world? It’s pretty exciting to have this up again. I feel like it’s a good time to have it back. Maybe we see some original boardies. And def new. Right. Well. I’m going to sleep… Good morning! 1:28am
afternoon Fran, Dougie, Andy and Neil from not so sunny Dundee
4 seasons in Dundee today.
great idea getting this board going, very old school.me and the wife coming to see Fran at the David Magidoff thing on 9th August in Edinburgh,
our 16th wedding anniversary 🙂
looking forward to it.keep being yourself guys, legends, all of you
Yay!!! How exciting! Hello all!!
Fran you’re a genius. Thank you for reigniting the boardies era. Long may it last. Love from Ireland xx
Hi Fran! Love to hear the details about California – my niece just moved out there (Ventura) earlier this year. I doubt you would remember this, but when you and Andy were doing the ‘acoustical journey’ tour, I gave you a copy of a picture she (aged 6 at that point) drew of the band. At a second stop, you said you had hung it up in the tour bus – she was very proud! When my nieces were young and would sleep over at my house, I’d always put on The Invisible Band as they were falling asleep. Now my niece is in her early 20s and living in CA and has heard Travis playing on the radio a few times in shops and always texts me to tell me when she does. Hooray for the return of the message board! All the best, Bridget 🙂
Hello, how lovely to be in a sacred space. Thank you for this. 😊
Loving the retro-ness of this before the computers become self aware 😳🤣 We might need it
Woohoo! This is great! And so old skool! Welcome back fran and the lads. Hope life is treating you all well and you’re still loving the music.
Yay! This is exciting 😃 A blast from the past!
Hello from Shropshire!
Fab that you’ve set this up. Thank you.
We’ve listened to you for years, you’ve been the soundtrack to many ups and downs of life, a reassuring thread of connection.
We saw you again at Co-op live and Wolverhampton.
Sleep well. Madi
Hello everyone!
Writing in from Santa Clarita, CA (just about 45 mins north of LA). How lovely to have this back! Takes me back to a much simpler time.
Happy to have a little connection to my all-time faves and others who appreciate them as much as I do. Looking forward to keeping up with you all!
Back to starting my day with my kiddos and work!
All the best to you all!

Well this is amazing! I was on the board back in the day, I think even before I did my A-levels in college! I remember Flat Travis, the boardie exchanges, the amazing community… So happy it’s back!
I was the person who had a pet hermit crab called Shellfish Jean…
Now working as a lecturer in Cognition and Neuroscience (thanks to The Man Who for introducing me to Oliver Sacks), doesn’t time fly?
Hope to catch up with everyone from the golden ages!
Hello from Northampton,
I’m a newbie to the board and this is very exciting 😀. What a lovely way to be in touch with the band and other fans.
Last saw Travis at the Piece Hall in Halifax and what a brilliant gig it was 🙌🏻.
Hope you are all well?
Love to all
Marie xx
