okay, sorry to spoil the van halen party. just wanted to mention some actual luxury stuff. i finally laid down the credit card a few weeks ago and bought some recording gear. it should open up all kinds of new opportunities for us to record new music. we're really excited. we just have to figure out how to use all the gear. yikes! this weekend scott and i are playing a gig with the foxymorons and larry is celebrating his wife's new doctorate status, or however you say that stuff. maybe i should let larry explain it to everyone. it's a big deal. okay, that's all for now. we need to start practicing for the atlanta show.
