one of the songs we played on last call with carson daly on nbc is gonna air tonight i think. according to nbc.com... that is legitimately where i get my info, you would think someone would like contact us or something... but yeah. im not sure if its oh, it is love or baby its fact. but either way AARON FLORA is involved. which is a special treat. QUITE a special treat. more so than the vegan chocolate peanut butter cake me and chels are baking right now. so tune in. chow down. suck face!

so thats NBC @ 1:30 am. tonight.

New bulletin---new website free pixxx

new website free pixxx
hello vikings. i put together a streamlined mini site for while we're home recording, theres some tour dates, some new news and the photojournal with pics of mah stuuudio which i hope to keep updated with studio happenings. oh and its cute. it has a cloud and clouds are always cute. especially if you give them a moustache. but this one does not have a moustache cause it, like me, can't grow facial hair. or other hair. you know? you know? you know?? eh? you know? yeah?

HELLOGOODBYE.net - free pay site. free members access. full length high quality videos. updated daily. uh.

love, forrest the webmaster.

Myspace Bulletin - studio updateskis

how's it going, my dearie? have you been getting enough calcium, enough protein? (most meat eating americans get 4 times the recommended amount of protein for their bodies, so ah i guess its not really an issue). you know i worry about your health, though. you look so good when you have been getting enough b-12.

there's not much to update from the studio quite yet. my garage is rad and i wanna take pics and list my gear and make a studio website like chris walla or tahiti 80 have. i don't need a website like that, cause i don't plan on recording for hire for while (someday though, so start saving!) but i just want one. so fun. i've been jammin out, experimenting in the studio like a mad man. its really fun, im reallllly excited about the little seedlings of mind warping conceptual rock-outs i've got going. actually tonight i recorded a karaoke version of chelsea and rachel (thats me and travis' girfriends) doing time of my life. maybe we'll shoot a video for it and go for it as a single! they have passion and soul. anyways, it'll still be a long while till this record is really coming along, but i really am excited. its been so long since i've sat down and just toyed around and sang and played and wrote and i feel like exciting ideas are just pouring out. exciting/excited/excite/excitable/excitebike are all good words to describe this phase of the writing/recording process. everything feels very inspired and easy so i can't wait to fully develop it all.

over the next few months, we're playing a few shows at colleges and stuff here and there if you wanna drop in and say hello. so check those dates.

also, we're re-releasing our old EP and full length. i know... more OLD music? aren't i working on NEW music? don't sweat it, it wasn't my idea really (not that i think theres anything wronnng with it). but if you haven't already picked up on of those CDs, now would be a terrific opportunity to do so, since theres a bunch of old school demos / bsides and live show dvd footage involved. if you already paid good hard money for our records i'd never ask you to do it again, and you can even get most of those b side things (and you always could btw) on our website under media / discography. so don't worry because fresh, sexy, seductive, NEW music is coming soon. well. in a few months. well. prolly actually out like end of this year. something like that. and then we'll all get naked.

love, forrest

rad old organ body (myspace bulletin)

hey guys, i need to hit you up for a favor.

me and my brooo travvy (that guy that looks like the singer of the killers whos usually around at the la/oc shows) are on the lookout for a cool old suitcase organ body like an ace tone, preferably busted, cause we just wanna hollow it out.

something alot like that would be rad. so if you have an old ace-tone, farfisa etc (especially ones in rad colors, red or mint or orange or something) email the contact on this craigslist ad. its not my email, so don't flood it pweeease.

email: sale-530585073@craigslist.org
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/msg/530585073.html

that would be AWESOME if somebody local had something. by the way, i have rediscovered the joy of craigslist. "craigslist: free" is my new favorite thing. i gave away a dishwasher on there and it went in like 2 minutes. its great. no more throwing things away in landfills. its all about local community donation recycling! in other happenings, im hanging out at home in the LBC. with snoop. on upcoming episodes of da fatherhood. not really. but i wish.

love, forrest

Happy New Year From Forrest (Myspace bulletin)

yeah! happy new years! or year. im sat at home watching a uh "interventions" marathon on a&e with chelsea and gordie and winnie. its PRETTY wild.

i wanna thank everybody for an awesome year. i mean it guys. i love you guys all so much.. you guys are my bitches. 4eva. totall-E. uh. it really has been a crazy year for us though, if you rationalize it and take a step back to really take it all in. we travelled to some far off and exotic places, sold a bunch of one song and quiiite a bit of a whole record, i got a second doggie... and now im at home, watching a show about people who are addicted to meth and on the verge of death. im living my dreams guys! im doooing it! im living amongst the stars, flying high! yayyyy!

a little highlight for me, a few months ago i built a studio in my garage (have i mentioned that before? a few times? uh.) and im home chillin, getting it all rad and recording little bits and pieces in between episodes of intervention. its the goal i've been workin toward for half a decade or so. and i owe it all to you! in a very real way its all possible because of you or veiwers like you. just like pbs. lets kiss.

so here's to a happy 2008 for all of you! may we all not border on the brink of death with a crippling substance addiction! weeee!

xoxo, forrest

Thanksgiving Bulletin

On Myspace:




Yaye! Isn't that sweet of him to do. That just proves how amazing Forrest is and hellogoodbye are.

a bulletin from the birthday boy

On myspace:


thanks for all the b day wishes! theres like not a single band spam or fake porno profile on our comments page! which is WILD. theyre all happy birthdays or something about hellogoodbyes mood status being horny (which, by the way, isn't being helped by bumping out the fake slut profiles, teehee ima bad girl). but yeah, thanks! its neat! and if youre coming to the show in miami tonight (or tomorrow or whatever you call it), don't feel the need to get me a build-a-bear or anything. just a smile and a wave, my dear. unless the build a bear is filled with cash. or vegan freezer waffles. or vanilla syrup. or something else that would come in handy right now.

anyways, luv u guyzzz youre sweeet!

xo fo.

new hellogoodbye bulletin

wow, so i snoozed on getting our real site back up for a while now. long story short the company that hosted our site disappeared and took all our files with them, i only recently got them back and am working on getting everything put back up and functioning. no buddyboard yet, but expect that soon... and a few other things dont work either. but i put up a new photojournal post from the 4th of july!

hellogoodbye.net - theres a bit of new news, those photos (plus old ones that go back to 2002. which i find pretty funny to see. but maybe thats because i know the people in them. maybe thats why). theres also some free mp3s and all that old info that used to be on there. it also all still the same color.

anywhoo, just for a quick update a to what we've been up to lately... i recently moved to long beach, ca. its awesome. there is alot of gay people here. which is cool i guess. im not gay but in huntington beach dudes with hats on would drive by in very tall trucks and be like "faaaag" while i modestly rode my bicycle. but here in long beach you don't have to worry about that. you might have to worry about gang violence more though. its a tossup i guess. anyways we got to spend a few days at home. we shot a video last night for baby its fact that i guess is like varsity blues or something. dont ask me. im just an actor. i just pick up my check and head back to SAG. im not sure if you'll see it on mtv soon or if you'll only be able to get it in like a hotel room with a credit card under adult entertainent. at my new place ive got a garage im in the process of soundproofing and acoustifying and setting a sexy mood in for a killer studio, if thats of interest to anybody. i can't wait to get it done and set my shiz up and start tracking some stuff. like the good old days. when i used to make music. less videos and interviews and airplanes. more recording fake drums.

before i can really get to that piece we're going to australia (with my favorite band The Lucksmiths), japan and korea. then over to europe for some festivals (reeding or redding and leeds or ledds or church of lds or whatever and a bunch of others). and then we're gonna be playing at a bunch of colleges i think with the ying yang twins or mims im not sure but obviously either way its gonna be in tentsss (intense).

there. thass wassup.

love, forrest & hellogoodbye
