Thank you to the Detroit News!!!!!

Hope you all have an awesome holiday break, we'll see you in January!!!

Yours Truly,

Michigan's Second Best All Ages Venue!!!

Hello out there on the interweb,

In case you were unaware, last night was our benefit show which was graciously hosted by Black Elk Co-Op (http://www.myspace.com/black_elk).

If you were there then you know it went absolutely fabulously. The EQMC would like to thank EVERYONE who was there last night, especially Black Elk and EXTRA especially all the amazing and wonderfully kind musicians who played.

So here it goes...

Thanks to Favorite Daughter for kicking the night off (a little later than we had hoped, but you guys were troopers!)

Thanks to our second band of the night, Our Space In Time (www.myspace.com/ourspaceintime) congrats on your new album and good luck at your album release show tonight!

Thanks to the amazingly talented and sweet Jess Carmichael and Sam Griffin, you two rocked it out! (Check Jessika out at www.myspace.com/jesscarmichael)

Thank you to the incredible Virgil Walters! If  you loved him as much as everyone else did definitely check him out at www.myspace.com/virgilboom (p.s. secretly I was a little sad that I wasn't able to be his music stand)

Thank you to Jansen Swy for your hauntingly awesome set.

Thank you thank you thank you to Chris Bathgate (www.myspace.com/chrisbathgate) for your beautiful songs (which seemed to calm people down a lot) and for sticking around and being cool with playing after 2 am.

and an extra extra thank you to Matt Jones (www.myspace.com/mattspainting) who courageously braved the post 2:30 am fairly un-sober (but NOT unappreciative) crowd. As usual, you were incredible, we <3 you!

and again, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO WERE THERE (even if you lived there) we love you!!!

Hope to see you all at some of our shows in the future...

Thanks again,

Alex and the EQMC kidz
