Don’t forget to see Denison Witmer play the final dates of his tour with The Six Parts Seven. I’ll be at the shows in Brooklyn (Wed) and Lancaster (Fri).

All Jetenderpaul 7″ pre-orders have been mailed out, so look for yours. It should be worth the long wait. Though Jeff from the Drang, who happens to go to Oklahoma, differs in opinion, I’m still rooting for the Indiana Hoosiers to make it to the NCAA finals. The official start of baseball season is just moments away, hopefully I’ll run into some of you at Philadelphia’s opening game next Friday. :::scott:::

(http://www.basement-life.com) It’s also the most polished thing the band has ever done, basically a big wave bye-bye to any indie-rock convention the band was still foolishly holding. We are super psyched, and in the…
