as I said just some ideas...

Ya it's a really cool club, and a huge thanks to all of the folks who came out last Fri night, it was a treat to have Ian Sherwood on Sax and Sandy Sauder on Trumpet...Hopefully we can get them out more often.....I know Sandy hangs out in the village hoping to play a few songs every weekend.....

I have only seen him once and thouth it was OK , nothing ground breaking..... but still tight as hell...

The Dexters doing Green-eyed that I would love to see.......

Well Friday nights @ 33 Hess now include The Smoothies - I believe there is no cover.....

And the band plays 3 set starting around 10ish.

This will be a regular gig.

Thanks

OK my current listening pleasure

Gypsy Soul

Mp3's @ work - ABB mixed with Beastie Boys

hey

I ran into a problem dealing with this cell phone co. and they sent me to the collection agency I basically didn't own any money but the phone co. fucked up... but what I did find out is that even though the credit card co. sent your account to the collection agency, you don't actually have to pay the collection agency if you pay the credit card company..... this really pisses off the collection agency (thats always fun). I also started calling the collection agency 20x a day to ask useless questions ( I also passed the number and ext. of the jerk who was hounding me to 10 of my friends who inturn each called 10 plus x a day as well / payback for calling me work )....

well I guess none of these tactics will help lower your bill but it always fun to harass the harasser...

good luck

Hopefully we'll make it to Ottawa soon...

I think in the next month or so we'll try and set up a few shows for around May or June..

were kinda looking forward to getting out that way...

also this summer the band is going to the cottage near ottawa and we plan on doing a few hick show (very very small town shows) so I guess we can also set up some dates then....

what are the crowds like there any how?

Sorry the Topic title should be

Thanks From the smoothies

not Thanks for the smoothies
