Sorry About That!

[Rohan Kohli]

Unfortunately, William of The Academy Is... (http://www.theacademyis.com) was flooded with IMs tonight, which is why he may not have been able to respond to you:

OK. WOW. Well. That didn't go as well as planned!!! First of all, thank you all so much for IMing me, I would have loved to talk to you all... I was talking with a few people as the IM boxes kept popping up, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations we were having... THEN a tidal wave of IM boxes flooded my screen, and so many were coming in so rapidly that i couldn't click on anyone's box to talk to them! This went on for about a half hour... And my computer crashed. I just learned that my journal entry was posted on Absolutepunk.net, which would now explain the mass hysteria, and to my dismay, the traffic was too much for my computer. So, I deeply apologize for this, and don't worry, this will happen again in the future... Just MUCH more discreet. Again, I'm very sorry, you guys are the best in the world. I will make this up to you... Mike and I are brainstorming right now to make something like this happen in the future... I love you guys. Stay tuned.

just kidding, btw

[uh oh smmoreo]

haha yeah that doesn't seem like something that should be posted on a huge site like this.

[noodledancer]

oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?
that poor computer...

[garlicgirl1210]

he is so sweet....bummer about his little snafu.
he needs to think over his ideas a little better.
an A for effort though.
better luck next time, william.

Haha, I guess I didn't realize that they were so popular...I mean, I knew they had fans, but not so many to crash his AIM/computer.

I was wondering why I never got an answer.

[Boring Pop Song]

haha. william's a cool guy. i gave him this shirt one time, and he's like: well i have to give this to my friend who can tailor this. haha. fuckin great.

[goddamngourd]

is this really all that surprising?

[golly_sandra]

Ugh that's why I hate how certain things are posted on hereeee.

[ForeverInADay]

i once saw him punch or slap (not sure which) a kid and then proceed to give him the finger





it was AWESOME!

[aheroinmyeyes]

Can't say I didn't see that coming. But hey, at least they try to talk to their fans. Have to give them credit for that.

[bizar0]

some shitty computer he has.

haha, jk.

[xbrokendownx]

[etwiels]

[seans seatbelt]

It's sad when shock sites don't shock me anymore.

[dont you move]

i kept getting an error 3 server message
but the one time i got through, he replied

prefacetotragedy: hooray billiam
TALKTAI: hooray millions of ims that are crashing my computer

[goddamngourd]

prefacetotragedy: hooray billiam
TALKTAI: hooray millions of ims that are crashing my computer haha thats great stuff... what a guy.

[suchacreep]

you could have seen that happening a mile away. not surprised at all

[xMarchofflames6]

Thats a shame wanted to ask him some questions but hey being as popular as he is its to be expected someone would leak it, he seems a little troubled but 22 songs is incredible to bad we all will prbably only ever hear half of them!

[Throwback]

So this is your fault?

[ThatGirl]

The easiest way to talk to these guys is to just go to a show. Theyre one of the best bands Ive ever met at just hanging around for hours talking to their fans at shows.

[Mercy Medical]

Honestly, I think he's kind of an idiot for not expecting to get insanely flooded with IMs.

[pretty_in_punk3]

A for effort william!! he's a real cool guy...

i'll always remember their show here in F-town w/ June and PWT's...AWESOME show

[eyesforliars]

I always wondered this...I bought there EP at Skate & Surf 2004. It's titled "The Academy". When did they become The Academy Is... and why? Personally, I like it better without the "is..."

they almost got sued for it, i believe. as in someone else owned it... yeah it's better w/o the 'is.'
