True story: on tour with no internet or cellphones, nobody in @LettersToCleo knew we had appeared on Beavis and Butthead until the next day when fans told us as we arrived at the club for soundcheck. A full 24 hours later. The 90s. What a time to be alive!

I joined @Twitter in ‘08 while out on the Hannah Montana/Meet Miley Cyrus Best Of Both Worlds tour. I got sober, divorced, saw Red Sox win a World Series at Fenway, lost a friend to cancer, remarried, new career, an Emmy - tweeting the whole time. I’ll really miss this place.
