Okay, so the latest word I’ve gotten here is that the Austin show has been “postponed indefinitely.” That’s coming from the promoter, so, there you have it. I’m not exactly sure what that means either, but that’s the word. Due to the sad events that fell upon the promoter and that surrounded that show, that’s understandable. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I know more. As far as Fuel and Epic go, wheels are in motion to break off that 10 year relationship and move on. Of course that will take a bit of negotiating and the usual legal drudgery. Following that, we’ll see where we all are and make decisions accordingly. I’m feeling good about what’s ahead, it’ll definitely be uncharted waters, but hey … it’s always crazy, especially in this industry. You never know what’s ahead ….
Here’s to all of you and Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms! Carl.

Yo, how's everyone? Still going here. Sorry to keep everyone in the dark, partly because we're a bit in the dark about what is happening. Trying to get a game plan together. None of us are real happy about the way things went down with the last record. Lots of things are happening to perhaps correct that from the label on down. I'll let you guys know something as soon as I do. Working on direction and other possible maneuvers to try to better our position. It can be frustrating! Hey, but if it's meant to be, it'll work out, right? Just wanna say ... once again ... thanks for caring and your patience is appreciated. Looks like the Austin show may be rescheduled for May 9th. Hopefully that will happen. Thanks again, Carl.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated!

Yo, thanks to WWE Raw and the buzz regarding Leave the Memories Alone and the Ric Flair tribute. Hope Ric has a great and much deserved retirement. WOOOOOOO!!!! All the best, Carl.

Hey guys. The Austin show for the 19th has been postponed due to tragedy in the promoter’s family. We will keep you posted regarding a rescheduling, but as for now, our thoughts and condolences are extended to all those affected by this tragic incident. Everyone’s understanding is much appreciated, Carl.

Happy New Year! Hope we all have a great one ahead. Thanks for all your support over the last one. Hope you all had a great holiday season as well. This one wrapped up an interesting one for us. Ended up in Alaska for the final shows. Temperature in Fairbanks was minus 26 degrees. That was a trip. You could throw a cup of boiling water into the air and it would turn into a snow like vapor before it hit the ground. Believe me ... we tried it! At least we saw the northern lights and had some of the freshest seafood I think we’ve ever had. All in all it was a good time … and now I personally can say I’ve played in all 50 states for what it’s worth! Seriously, it was really fun and beautiful up there. Thanks for all your support on the last tour in all of the states and look to seeing you guys in ’08. Carl.

Yo, just wanted to say thanks for the radio stations who've been doing promo work with us this past week. Rock 108 (www.rock108.com) had “Roadie for a Day” in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Tracy was the … ugh … “lucky” winner … if you consider carrying gear up and down snowy stairs lucky. She was great and really helped all day as well as did some guitar handoffs during the show. Thanks to Rock 108 and Tracy. You guys were great. Also, we just played Austin's Fuel Room (www.austinsaloon.com) in Libertyville, Illinois where they, along with 95 Will Rock (www.95wiilrock.com) did a promotion when we were trying to find a new lead singer where they held their own auditions and sent the winner to LA for us to hear. The winning contestant they sent was really a contender as well. Also, they held a sound check party with us and we had fun with the winners as we let them come up on stage and play drums and guitar and whatever they wanted to do during soundcheck. It was a cool time. Thanks as well to Steve from Will Rock and Mark the owner of Austin's for being so gracious to us.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope you and yours are all enjoying the day.
