So it's that time again. Time for the HOLIDAY CARD PACKS! Forget those cards from the drugstore with the cheesy sayings, send your friends a collectors holiday postcard with a great graphic donated by James Rheem Davis / www.giantsumo.com and a special extra gift, a new song called "Carpathia" from our upcoming album NEW AGAIN. Read on...

So, who wants to hang out and have some food after the show on Sunday?  We think part of the experience of going to a show includes some aftershow hang time with the peeps.  So many good memories from times like these. So thank you to Denny's in Tucson (555 N FWY) for inviting us to come hang out this Sunday, December 7 after the show at the Rialto Theatre.  We'll probably be there around 45 minutes after the show so come on by.

Ok.

So.

Just to be clear THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF TOURING FOR NEW AGAIN!!!! I see that on the myspace and everywhere else people are bummed that we aren't coming to your city on this tour. We haven't forgotten about you (to be honest we cant stop thinking about you) so take a deep breath and relax - we're coming...

SO.... to Emily in Orlando, Chad in Redding, Jess in Ft Lauderdale, Adam in Pittsburgh, Loren in Seattle, TaKingBAcKArt ( New Again) in Portland, Patrick in San antonio, Josh in San Francisco, Lori in Lehigh Valley, Miss Jackie in Colorado, Jennifer h. in california (do we hate california??? We just played LA a few weeks ago - somebody buy her a calendar for xmas), Linds in Boston, J in Buffalo (WRONG!!), Jennifer in Cleveland, Madelinee in Mass, hanna on LI, Kanoa in California, Mike in Jersey, CH3L$3@ in San Diego, and last but not least - Pam in France...

We will see you at some point in the new year for sure. I promise. Some of you might need to hop in the ol' hybrid (or rocketsled, or handglider) and make a little roadtrip but hey, getting there is half the fun.


Last nights show in Corpus Christi was NUTS and a great way to start the tour. Thanks to everyone who came out.


Btw, a total of ZERO frisbees at last nights show. Not cool. We are as of yet, activity-less. Just sayin.
