Yeah, a trade would be cool! Howeverrrr, we could either wait until I have another release (next few months?) or I could package up a CDr and send it to you, because the EP is all sold out. Let me know, and let's go for it!

You may think I jest about a split, but I'm serious! I'm conceptualizing songs and writing lyrics now. Tape only release, what do you think?

I think once an episode airs then all bets are off! Either way its mostly conjecture on my part. Sonny's Blues set up the show so I thought they'd do promotion for it. But we probably should do it because I don't have any idea if that is happening.

not only do I OWN the shirt, but I was wearing it the other night when I met some new people and they asked about it and I got to be all "Yeah, it's my friend Jeb's band!! Neil young is basically in love with him!" ...they totally thought I was cooler than I am.

I did indeed watch the BSG last night. HMFG! So did she eject, didn't she have her hand on the eject lever? Also, is she Aurore, Goddess of the Dawn, and therefore is she one of the final five? Are the final five simply Gods of Kobol? This is unlikely because she had a Mom - is her father, Leobin? I want my Starbuck back.
