So I flipped out when I heard you guys were touring. Then I was bummed to see that you're not coming somewhere close enough for a broke college kid to manage attending. So, stop by KC sometime soon. I'll be there for sure.

Hey Guys,

There's a $10,000 REWARD for recovery of a very valuable drum kit and percussion instruments just stolen in your area. There's a list on my site at www.SCREAMINGSTONE.com

(yes, you read that right - it is a $10,000 reward)

Rock on,

Hey Alex I hung out with you briefly last weekend. Michael's friend. How the hell did you get all those f'ing stars in your music video?!!

I've only been listening to this band for two or three months now, but last night I had a dream that you guys covered "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who. It was the single greatest cover of all time.
I would urge you guys, if you ever find a free moment, to jam on this track, for I have seen the results, and they are objects of wonderment.
Then, if you feel doubly kind, put a demo up here :D

Guys- Wanted to tell you how much we are enjoying your CD / music! Really nice! One thing however... all this talk with JTG about "boning" is scaring me-just a little! LOL :)
Keep in touch,

Alex, I wholeheartedly reject the notion that we behaved in any way unbefitting to the generosity that was shown and contrary to the high moral fiber we both possess. However, I find hilarity in the fact that you chose to address this in such an open forum. Deep and sincere apologies to Sam though :)

haha. Honest honest there was no boning done in your bed. We actually managed to do it in Sam's bed while he was still sleeping. But your bed, nothing done.

Also...tell Russ to quit seducing Jessie 2 in Jesse 1's bed all the time.

miss you guys already.

You dudes rocked in Chapel Hill the other night. I wore my XYZ Affair shirt at band practice tonight and everyone agrees that the Revenue to Solos graph, while depressing, is totally true.
Come back soon!
