Current mood:  hopeful
so good news or bad news first?

bad news i guess to get it outta the way. as you may or may not know our bass player Andrew was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma (lymph node cancer for those that dont know). this definetly sucks a lot but the good news of it is that it is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. he has started treatment and is doing really well. We all hope for a speedy recovery for our brother in arms. (keep him in your thoughts, prayers, sacrifices or whatever it is you do).

we will be playing a few shows here and there without him with our keyboardist filling in on bass and we are trying to get some benefit shows together to raise money to help him cover hospital and chemo costs. if you have any suggestions or can help out at all let us know.

on the good news front our myspace is preparing for a makeover and we have finally recieved the pressed copies of our new c.d. "Arm The Children".

we are playing this friday in flint and next sunday @ DM3 fest so come out support and help us through these tough times.

also we are still slaving away on the new songs for the full length (obviously things are being pushed back a bit)

peace, love, and hand grenades,

mike

Tell Andrew to hang in there.  Mr. T was diagnosed with something similar to that and was treated and is still alive and well.

I think that you should get Kevin & Craig to do a benefit at the Machine Shop.  I will donate one of my handmade skull candles & can get some other people to donate some art.  Also, tattoo shops in the area would donate gift certificates for tattoos.  I will be more than willing to help out in any way that I can.

We played at the benefit show in Marysville this weekend, and it was fucking great! Wish more people would have showed, though. FUCK CANCER! As was reiterated many times that night! Get well! There are battles to win!
