Reel Big Fish are awesome, even though I don't listen to them much. Hope Aaron gets better!

a ruptured appendix can be pretty bad, especially if the bacteria contaminates surrounding organs... I hope Aaron gets well soon and comes over to so cal! =)

I got scared when I read the headline, but I'm glad it was only appendicitis, and that they took care of it in time. Reel Big Fish is one of the best ska bands out there.

He's such a cool person. I hope he gets to do his thing for many, many more years
