*POOF* Battles Studies appears.

Holy hell, today has been like a JM explosion! (In a good way!)

Twitter-stalking helps us zero in even closer to a possible release date ...

crazy22redhead:@johncmayer Can we expect a Sept release date?
johncmayer: @crazy22redhead a little bit later, but not by much.

... STOKED.

A few minutes later, WearYourMusic tweeted that "MAYER BRACELETS ARE BACK!" I even think I got the first one! Which is lucky, considering I think there were only 5 from the start ... I thought there would be a lot more whenever they'd restock them, so I'm glad I was at the computer and ready.

Moral of the story: BATTLE STUDIES IS NO MYTH. And it sounds like I can keep saving for a California vacation next summer without fearing my efforts are in vain.
