Hey, Last night I saw a concert that was a U2 Coverband, but not only that, but they were impersonators! It was effing awesome, from the movies I saw @ ur dad's place, I know they were exactly like them!! Thought of you :P
We'll be playing tonight @ 9pm at Saddle Ranch in Universal City. Hope you can make it, should be a kickass show! If you're nowhere near Hollywood... consider yourself blessed and enjoy your evening. Thanks for listening!
hey! its good to hear from you and thank you...i'm doing alright, school ok. anyways ill be coming home in may so we should get together and catch up on oldtimes
I know some people will take this as an advertisement, but it's not meant that way - except a little bit at the end. : )
This is an invitation to visit our new blog charting the making of our new album, "Toothpick Bridge", produced by legendary producer Jay Burnett, from rehearsal to release - including the accompanying book of short stories.
We hope everyone will get involved, by commenting and offering opinions on the album as it's developed. If not, it would just be nice to hear from some more of you. We do like the personal contact.
There will be video interludes, live concert footage, pictures, interviews, comedy, stories and daily diaries from everyone involved. Think "Zoo TV" with a budget of 25 cents and a box of Smarties.

Oh yeah roy-for the wedding-don;t forget Andrew isn't in String Ensemble so he should be free, and I can probably hook you up with a decent viola player, from Y.S., so just tell me.
Hoffmeister was your history teacher wasn't he? He'd make such a good bouncer...
Does it have to be a professional bouncer? Or can it be mean lookin' older brothers? And how much is sound eq? And how hard is it to get a rez?
