Hey Fred, have you checked out the previews for Reason 4? Man, I'm so psyched about it I don't know what to do with myself! Too bad it won't be coming out until possibly next year, but it looks like it will be worth the wait.

Dear Fred the Valdez,

The next time you and QB3 decide to plan something cool like doing improvised live music to Sin City, can you make sure that I'm in town so I can witness the awesomeness? Hehe, J/K. I'm kinda bummed out that I won't be around to catch the show though. I'm back at school with my nose to the grindstone. Hope all is well dude.

Hi mistaFred, just a quick hello from the Jazz Pistols - hope you are doing fine and the first few hours of 2007 have been great so far. Wish you all the best for 2007 - thanks for being our friend and good luck for the things you do. Best regards - Christoph
