- Last night, Ramsey and Chris Gruber came over. He mixed down a version of Pink Lemonade for Chris's band, D-Hippo. I've been trying to get in touch with Lasertrax in order to schedule some studio time with Scott. School ends tomorrow so i'll have a lot of free time to do nothing. As far as i know, the whole site still works, that's about all the news i have as of now.

- Let's see, yesterday I put some songs onto mp3. The new Nothing Much is up there along with me and my peep phil singing Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by WHAM!. Yeah, how cool is that!?! So as soon as I get home I'll con my brother into putting that on the site.
Today I got a bunch of pics developed from our first show in NYC. Its me, Ram-z, and Mike on the drums at the sidewalk cafe. Ram-z looks pretty good in the pics, all the girls like him. And I also got a bunch of pikatures from a rehearsal over christmas break with Danny, Russell, and John Erdman. As soon as I find a scanner, I'll put those up.
June 18, 2000
- Yeah so I know I haven't updated this website hardly at all or anything, and that's a shame. But I just got a new FTP program to update it with, so I shall be working hard.
I wrote a bunch of new songs in the last month, for instance I finished I'm Alright, and started Its Over, Hey Mom, and some song I modeled after Reggie and the Full Effect. Oh yeah, the new impossibles cd isn't as good as the old stuff. That's Just my opinion, its still alright though.
Dreams, the live version, is now downloadable, and I'm gonna work on Right Here, and see if I can't upload Nothing Much too. So check the sounds page, I also have a couple more pics I'm working on.

- I talked to John today and he says that we have DotComGuy all wrapped up. I'm not positive what this is gonna be. But from what he says, we're playing 12 originals to be webcast at a concert from his house. More on this when I hear it. So if you can't be at the show in Dallas you might as well come see it on the webcast or we'll save it. Here's a tentative setlist for the show:
Nothing Much, Dreams, Its Over, Reggie Song, Its So You, You Don't Know Me, I'm Alright, Andrew Sudderth, I Can't Stop, Tease, Dear Kate, PunkRockLoveSong, and maybe we'll play Without You or Never Do, too.
By the way, the aforementioned Club Clearview show set for the 24th fell through, Scott couldn't get any of the bands to play there so the club told us to reschedule for later.

- Flying home today. I forgot to bring the tapes I made in New York with me, so I'll just have to use my brother's Digital 8-track instead to remake them. My ex-girlfriend happened to be on the same flight home, so she's sitting right here reading this. She's got a lot of songs written about her on the next CD, I don't know if that's a good thing though.
I also made a song list for the next album, and so far, this is the tentative line-up in no particular order. Please understand, not all of these songs will actually be on the album, and you probably haven't heard of most of them to begin with.
Nothing Much, What Matters Most, Never Do, I'm Alright, So Well, Just Can't Win, Dreams, Maybe, Sweet Dreams, Custom Built, The Number Song, One Disaster Is Quite Enough, Right Here, All I Wanna Do Is Rock, The Way Things Were, Run Away, and maybe a couple of more.

- Went to the Boston Comedy club tonight and saw a man named Burt Kreiser. At least I think that's how you spell his name. This man his hilarious. Everytime I go to that place he headlines and most of his show is improv, working off the audience. If anyone ever gets a chance to see him, you should. He's worth it.
May 10, 2000
- We need to change the water in the kiddie pool soon, its starting to smell bad. Well it just smells like plastic, but who wants their room to smell like plastic? Scott Cannon emailed me offering a show at Club Clearview on the 24th of June. I'm down with that even though I'll be in New York most of that time. I'll fly home for that weekend and play that show if he ends up giving it to us. That's a saturday by the way.
May 8, 2000
- I finished school today. Took my last final and left the building. That leaves me sitting here in my dorm room with nothing to do until Friday when I head back to Big D. My days consist mostly of watching TV and a little bit of moving furniture. Thea bought a kiddie pool and put it in my room. Its real hot outside so we filled the pool up with water and sit in it. It's about three feet deep and really cold, loads of fun.
May 4, 2000
- I was 4-1 in yesterday's Beirut tournament last night. There's another one tonight but I don't know if I'll be able to compete due to Friday's Final Exam at 10AM. Woohoo, Go Einstein's Universe. I think my brother's recording some of his songs today, that'll be cool. Oh yeah, and I should have some MP3's up on this mother by tomorrow. Most of it is unreleased. I'll probably put the live version of Dreams, a new one called Right Here, the live version of You Don't Know Me, and a crappy 4-track version of a new one called Nothing Much. Peace out, yo.
May 3, 2000
- I went to the park today and played the new stuff. Crowdpleasers included Turn, Nothing Much, and It's So You. Today I vow to write a song about Reese, she's been begging for one for almost two years now. Beirut tournament tonight, I should have a good showing there. Also, Marc and I perfected the uphigh downlow high five a la Top Gun.
May 2, 2000
- There's a chance we could play the dotcomguy's house in Dallas this summer. He's the guy who can't leave his house for more than an hour and has to use the internet for everything, including dates. He wants us to play at his house though, that's pretty cool. We'll be webcasted or something.
- Also, the garage nights III album should be out soon with our song DREAMS on it. That song will also be on the next CD we make. Right now, we're planning on making it in July, for a very late august release. Actually, let's shoot for a september release. That's probably more likely.
May 1, 2000
- On Sunday I went to Washington Square Park and hung out with Andy Dick. He was a big fan of the song "Dreams." He also bought a CD from me for Ten Clams.
