Hey to everyone on the Hellogoodbye E-mail List,

Yes!  The Free EP is still coming out today.  The newsletter with download information is being sent out as we speak!  The downside is, the newsletter takes some time to get to everyone...so you'll just all have to be patient.  Don't worry...it will definitely be in your inbox within the next 24 hours.

Thanks!  Sorry for the slight delay..

a few days before our free ep will be available to mailing-list subscribers (sign up here), the video we shot for "when we first met" is going up on myspace video (if the player above didn't work, click here to check it out). the video is real special cause me and chelsea just got engaged (to each other!) and she was gracious enough to be cast as the leading lady in it. she doesn't have any acting experience but she pretends to love me everyday so i thought it just might work. in the video we get hitched real quick and it was a good rehearsal so we don't blow the real wedding. now i know not to let my hair grow out 3 feet while we kiss. it turns out that makes it look like a lesbian wedding. and also that im extremely unattractive with 3 foot long hair.

REEEECAPPPPPP!

FREE MINI EP - UP SEPT 29T!
two songs, video, art, maybe more!

BAD NEWS! we still dont know when we're gonna be able to put out our 7inch and record YET, but we still have... RAD NEWS! we really wanna get some new tunes out there, heard by the sea of clamoring people who still wanna hear some new hellogoodbye music (what qualifies as a "sea"? 6 or 7 people, right?) so we're gonna put up an exclusive stream of the first track from our upcoming 7 inch and full length on WEDNESDAY on ABSOLUTEPUNK.NET for a little bit while we head out on tour with fun, limbeck and my favorite highway. that way you guys can all learn the words, and you'll have plenty of time to come up with all the harmonies (just basic 3rds and fifths probably, falsettos and bass parts) so we can do rad group vocals. not the usual singing-at-a-rock-concert fare. i think we can elevate things and really get some nice tones together. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT! 'WHEN WE FIRST MET' STREAM WEDNESDAY @ absolutepunk.net (sounds like the kinda site we belong on right?) oh, btw leave us some good comments when it comes around! its a tough crowd on there... they all love brand new ALOT END OF SUMMER TOUR w/ fun limbeck and my fave highway Aug 13th - Tempe, AZ Aug 14th - El Paso, TX Aug 15th - Albuquerque, NM Aug 16th - Tucson, AZ Aug 18th - Victorville, CA Aug 19th - Anaheim, CA Aug 20th - San Luis Obispo, CA Aug 21st - Santa Barbara, CA Aug 23rd - Stockton, CA Aug 25th - Seattle, WA Aug 26th - Portland, OR Aug 27th - Orangevale, CA so pumped for this tour, im actually gaining muscle mass. forrest

seems to be some confusion from some of the hanson fan club members about our tour presale codes... after a few not so nice messages, i wanna clarify!!!

ticket master gives out separate sets presale codes to both bands, each with a limited number of tickets available. hanson gives out their codes to their fan club... hgb doesn't really have a fanclub so we gave em out on our myspace. totally what we were told to do. i guess its just a fringe benefit of liking a band that doesn't have any fans. sincere apologies if anyone felt gipped, but you must get more out of the fanclub than just those codes right? and if its any consolation i blew it and posted our codes about 4 hours before the whole thing ended. haha. good grief, im such a charlie brown.

hi guys, so somehow i ended up with a bunch of promotional tour posters for our westcoast tour with fun, limbeck and my fave highway so i got to thinking. what if i mailed these out to one kid in each city we're going to... and they in turn, put them up at all the cool hangouts... then, i can only imagine... people would see them... and they would flock to our show by the millions and we'd never have to worry about another thing in our lives. so basically, if you live in:

TEMPE, AZ
EL PASO, TX
ALBUQUERQUE, NM
TUCSON, AZ
VICTORVILLE, CA
ANAHEIM, CA
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA
SANTA BARBARA, CA
STOCKTON, CA
SEATTLE, WA
PORTLAND, OR
ORANGEVALE, CA

and wanna get some free posters (TO DO BACKBREAKING LABOR WITH ONLY!) send your mailing address to iwannahelpouthellogoodbye@gmail.com. we'll send you a special little thank you and autographs (so you can steal our identities, if you're lucky i'll write down my social security number). by the way, if you live in one of those cities and didn't know... were gonna be coming there this august! more tour info HERE

OLIVE GARDEN, NEW ORLEANS:
we're on tour (did you know that???) and we had a mega drive from austin, tx to jacksonville, fl today. we stopped for the night in new orleans, which is super rad. on the way though we stopped in at the lovely lafayette olive garden and met the fabulous aeriea (pardon my spelling) and valentine and also a woman who was having her 82nd birthday there. we sang her happy birthday and she came over and all but raped ryan. it was so cute. plus aaron, joe and i just got back from sneaking in and exploring a new orleansian above ground cemetery on all hallows eve. it was so cool. this tour is so cool. joe aaron travis ryan (and duncan, cheese and dan) are so cool. its really a great vibe so far out on this tour, its the first time all of us have gone out together (the band had been going through little changes here and there until this tour). theres a really awesome camaraderie thats not been this strong in a while. its a good feeling. me and joe rode with ace the other day when our shuttle busted and it was great to hang like that with them, we got the opportunity to play a few songs with steel train when our tours joined up the other night and all of us listened to henry rollins talk about tours on "get in the van" that make us feel like little girls.


JACKSONVILLE ON A THURSDAY???
we're gonna be in jacksonville tomorrow evening for the night before the show (getchya tixxxx brahhh!!!) so if any of you know of something rad and maybe halloween related, lemme know! cool pre halloween frat party??? awesome cheesy haunted house thing? halloween themed orgy??? COOL.


MY HOUSE IN A MAGAZINE!
oh AND, if youre from the LBC area pick up the current issue of District magazine, they did a feature on my house! i love my house! if you're not from around there chelsea scanned it and sent it to me so i could see, heres a picture of the article.


WEEE! NEEEAT!
