dear friends, it is very sad for me to have to inform those who have not heard yet but our dear friend and bandmate Eric was in a very serious accident several days ago. He has sustained some serious injuries and is currently getting care at a hospital here in seattle. i know all of you are very concerned with His condition and i am happy to report that Eric continues to be in very good spirits and is doing well while He rucuperates. He would love to hear from anyone who would like to send their thoughts or say hello. you can easily email him by going to www.harborview.org and clicking on the link on the right of the screen that says "email a patient or send a gift". please include His last name HOWK so that it is easier for Him to recieve His messages quickly.

our best friends United State of Electronica (U.S.E) will be performing tonight in the lashes place at the redmond firehouse. i, along with the other lashes will be there to hang out, talk and have fun. if you would like to bring anything for Eric we will be happy to deliver it to Him at the hospital. i hope to see everyone there and i will provide updates on his condition as soon as possible.

carpe-per-diem.

love,
ben!
