 Dear Diary, Today�s rehearsal was absolutely perfect. What a great day. Mike just came back to the band so you never know how things like that are going to go. I mean, everything was very lax and fun. Honestly it�s been a while since I could say that. We�ve been working so hard to keep this thing together that we rarely get a chance to just be boys. Today we took our breaks in the backyard where we got to pal around a lot and have a couple of beers between sets. It was one of those days where our humor seemed to play off one another and after all these years of knowing each other we are still four very funny people who genuinely enjoy each other�s company. We re-arranged a song we had written a long time ago but were never quite happy with called, Dead Air. Now I really can�t wait to play that one out. You can check out the lyrics at the bottom of this page. Don�t worry. It opens in a new window. John set up his drum kit on Tuesday, replacing that awful electric drum kit we�ve had been rehearsing and recording with. I goddamn hate the sound of that thing. It makes us sound like heavy metal Depeche Mode. It was great hearing our stuff the way it is supposed to be played. John spent so much time arranging and tuning the kit you would think he was erecting a building. Every nut and bolt had to be in its right place. Anyone who knows John knows how downright meticulous he can be. It took a better part of a day to have all of his stuff arranged just the way he wanted. When he was finished you would think NASA had come to our basement and left behind one of their freakin� moon modules or something. I am working on getting our first show booked for the middle to end of July. I really can�t wait to play out again. Playing out with this lineup is just going to rule! We still have so much work ahead of us. We are writing new stuff while tightening up the old stuff. We also have to get a new Website and all that promotional crap underway. I know the new Website begins production in two weeks. We also have to do a string of photo shoots next month. Whew! Well, that�s pretty much all for now. See you all soon. Oh, and I updated the photos page! Doug
Dear Anthony, Mike hid your weed on top of the left PA speaker then put it back where you left it after you went looking for it. You should have seen your face. HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
