We just rocked the Elbo Room in Chicago again and have been asked to do a Thursday evening in March, so, wow! Cool! We'll be seeing more of you in Chicago, I guess! YAY!!

Well, I haven't put a whole lot of news up here lately, so here's what has happened since September...Tim left for personal/job related reasons. We had a fill-in drummer or two for October-December shows. Now...Eric's back! He has moved back to the area and was eager to get back on it so YAY back to normal. Things were effortless - like he never even left. It kind of makes the whole last year of my life seem like some wacked-out weirdo dream, honestly. Oh, well. At least most of the dream was interesting and good overall.

We have two shows booked for January and February already, so ... on with the show!

Okay, so we didn't win the Bodog.

We did have a good time and a great experience, though! That's what really counts, so we feel it was a positive thing.

August 27, 2006

Rock on, peeps! We've rocked the Bodog!

We did not receive first or second place, but we're still in the running for third! This is where YOU come in! We need you to vote in the competition. It's FREE to do this - it just takes a few minutes and a little typing!

Easiest way is to go to http://www.bodogbattleofthebands.com/shows/show-details.php?show=44

Once there you will see a list with each band, their current ranking, and their vote button. Just select the VOTE button for plankton and you will then get the registration prompt. Hit the FAN SIGN UP and provide a little info. That's all it takes and you have until Thursday August 31 to pass this on to your peeps and make them vote, too.

Hey - you know what? Go vote even if you don't vote for us. All these bands worked real hard to go through this so if you can't do it for plankton then do it for THE MUSIC, man. Come on! I'm serious, here!

XOXOX,

Tina, Matt, and Tim
