So you know that necklace I'm (Scott) always wearing?  Sweet, glad you noticed!  Or maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about.  Either way, it's made by an amazing company called Q-Link.  Thriving Ivory is now endorsed by Q-Link and you can see us wearing all our "bling" at concerts or if you happen to catch one of us around town.  Actually, "bling" is probably the wrong word to use when talking about Q-Link jewelry because it is so much more than that.  To sum it up, here's some quick verbage from their website :

"Q-Link® is the most advanced personal energy system available today. A quarter century of frontier research has given birth to the Q-Link, a sleek line of body worn products that tune your being for optimal living and performance: More energy, less stress, greater focus, enhanced well-being and more."

You can find out more at their website, here.

Anyways, beginning in early 2010, with the launch of our second record, which we are extremely excited about, we will be selling custom Q-Link / Thriving Ivory gear at concerts and online.  The five of us are very hard at work right now to bring Thriving Ivory back to your senses in full force around the start of next year.  New album, new tours, new gear....this is what's coming right around the corner.

So stay tuned Thriving Ivory fans & friends and check out Q-Link's site in the meantime.

On the edge of our seats,

Scott, Clayton Drew, Bret & Paul

Hey Everyone!!
As many of you know, we recently started traveling in a
tour bus and we have an abundant amount of plastic and glass bottles and
cans that we want to recycle but we don't have the means to in each city
that we travel to. That's why we need your help!! For each person who
would be willing to help gather our recycling in each city we would
offer a free ticket to the show. We realize it's a lot of work but it's
really important to us as a band to conserve the resources that we
consume.
If you can help us recycle, please send a message to our myspace to
Justins attention (he's our beloved tour manager) and tell him that
you're interested. It would mean a lot to us... and the rest of the
world if you help us with this. Thanks and we hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Thriving Ivory
