Not yet, but I honestly only sent it out at the beginning of the month. I had forgotten about it (too many things going on) until I got a PM from Kevin Bresnahan. If I don't hear from them, I'll pay them a visit when we're in Pittsburgh!!

He's too busy golfing, I'm sure.

I should mention that my deck is quarter-track stereo. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

$3.19 in Lansing.

My dad used to help me load and unload my Hammond M3 and drive me to and from the gigs. Talk about support!!!

I'm more worried about how much its going to cost to heat my house this winter.

Very cute, Chalupa! Here's some recent ones of Zora!

All that stuff is really useful when you don't have a fuckin' house.

I can do that.

I have a 10 1/2 reel to reel. What size tape? My machine is for 1/4".

$2.99 for regular self-serve in Lansing today.

Chris, we're on our own server. Post away. In fact, if you wanted to host your site on the big O server, let me know. We can work something out.

That would be great! Bring friends! This is a "door gig" which means we get whatever we make off the door. So bring out some folks!! Tell everybody you know! Shout it from the rooftops!! ORGANISSIMO IS COMING!! ORGANISSIMO IS COMING!!

Thanks Ed! We're on it. As for coming to MI, that would be great, too! I'd love to meet you! But hopefully we can hook up something closer to home for you.

It's a little of both. The CD is getting massive airplay in some major markets, which makes booking those markets much easier. So far, we're doing a little eastward tour consisting of NY on October the 6th and 9th and Pittsburgh on the 10th. Hopefully we'll get something in Philly after the 10th and maybe something in NJ to fill in the 7th and 8th. We're also looking for a real booking agency to help us plan these things as well as looking overseas. The CD is doing really well in airplay (sales aren't too bad... it would help if we were on Amazon or CDUniverse... that will be coming in about a month or two).

Dude, I have ALL his CDs! They're AWESOME! And better than that, they're all signed by his drum machine!!!

Ed, I think it's a great idea. But how's this... in October we'll be in Pittsburgh (the date is still up in the air... I just found out today that we got double-booked... but we'll be there sometime between the 7th and the 10th) and then we are very close to getting a gig in NYC on the 10th. We're looking for something in the Buffalo area either before or after those hits. Any suggestions?

So, how does one find a retailer willing to do this... just out of curiousity.

Only in the key of Eb, though.

I like how excited and happy they alway sound. It's like their all on some fuckin' mind-blowing drug that produces moments of absolute sheer ecstasy. Where can I get some?

That's actually what we're planning on doing... hopefully this week. I love me some Chi-town anywho and it would be a good excuse to drive there. Wanna go?

No, I'm talking about that heart-warming song about children and God blessing America at the end of clip 2. Now THAT's what Big O needs!!!

Sweet! That's what I need! But instead of some old dude, it would be a really hot chick with leather and a whip and ... ... oh wait.... getting a little personal here. I gotta go now.

Uh-oh, I just got an idea: Can you imagine how AWESOME it would be if you heard a Johnny Mann jingle every time you logged on to the Big O?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Remind me never to listen to 98.7 KLUV, ok? This should be required listening to all music major undergrads before entering the program. "Do you really want to end up doing this?!"
