Hmm, I'm showing that you're posting from Chicago not Texas where you should be.
This should be a good explanation, huh?

Anyways, just wanted to
drop in and say that our version of "I started a joke" came out really
awesome. Everyone put their stamp on it, Jake sang it great, and I'm sure
everyone will dig it. I think it is being mixed right now, so it should be done
soon. It was fun and I think our version is really cool, and a lot different
than the BG's. It is also a little different thing for us sonically, and you'll
have to hear it to knw what I mean.

I'm using the computer in
my hotel, but I am in Texas. I don't know if it wil be a single, but t could be.
I have no idea, basically. It sounds great, though an Julian Raymond did a great
job producing it. It is really hot in Texas, whoa! I don't know how people can
do it.

So Mario, when did you guys record it--just before you left for Vancouver? And,
one last question and I'll be done--any recording on the road yet?

Rami recently got himself a
computer hard disk recording setup that we brought out on the road. we have been
recording demos, and that is going great. I'm having fun banging on my new
electronic drums!

Oh cool--then you've been learning how to use them? It's great that you've been
recording demos. Can't wait to hear this stuff. As long as you guys are still
excited about playing/recording it; we can wait for however long it takes.

Yeah, we did it right
before this tour. Everbody really did a great job on it, from the guys in the
band to the engineers. I think it is really cool, a vibey track, mostly due to
the gerg's slinky bass lines and sweet tone. (love ya greg!)
