yes!  we're gonna do that SADD benefit thing in kannapolis on sat, feb 28!  we were there last year and it was a king-sized show!  if you're gonna be in the area, c'mon out and see us and our good friends the stellas!  it'll be an outing to remember.  plus, we promise we'll be nice and not take those sexy pictures in your shower anymore.  unless, of course, you want us to.  so whatever.


on the recording front, we spent a great deal of time on both sat and sun laying down the substrate material for the last three songs we'll be doing for the new record (which is going to be 7 songs total, so it'll be an EP).  perkins got his drums down and i (jdub) put the boom-boom on those rockers.  wait - that sounds gross.  i actually just played the bass.  we've got the final arrangements of the new tunes down (thanks, joe!) so it's just a hop, skip and a jump to lay everything else down.  speaking of arrangements, we've got this slow jam, memory, and joe really spiced it up on the outro section.  not to give everything away, but we're rocking it up a bit - a la cream - and it's gonna sound just fine. 


what's really cool about this process is that it's a lot more of a team effort.  on the last jam, perkins and i left all the executive mix-decisions to joe and lee to figure out.  on this one, we're all putting in our $.02 and it's prolly gonna make the effort that much better.  at least, we hope so.  only time will tell.


anywho, as chief of staff i can give you every reassurance that we've done everything in our power to secure the white house.


magnums of luv,
