1. other/misc news/information.
   Dead Letter Auction recorded a 5 song session, October 13 & 14 2000, at Ball State University. It was recorded to ADAT which was just returned to me. I have studio time booked Saturday, July 25th to get that transferred. It was an interesting session - we were broken up at the time, but were offered free studio time, so we got back together for a few practices and then recorded some of my favorite documented performances of these songs. I hope to get those out in some format sometime by the end of the year. I'll have more to say about it when I get the final mixes done.
   Songs:
   1. Bored Game
   2. Recurrent
   3. Never to End
   4. Looking Glass Eyes
   5. Stigmata
   Line up:
   Damian Hade, Jarod Isenbarger, John McCormick, and Josh Kuntz.

Added a few titles to gimmesound.com. A new downloading service where you can download albums for free, the artists get paid, as well as a cause of your choice gets 2% of the ad revenue. Across the board, and for future additions, we have selected Amnesty International as our cause, but feel free to select one of your choice.

My second book should be out sometime before the end of the year. It is a collaboration with Jarod, we have a little more work to do on it and we hope to have it available very soon. For those of you that are curious, my first book was a collection of lyrics and such 1995-1998; this one is nothing like that one. I will have more details when it gets closer to completion. I have another book that will be in the works by summer and hope to have out by fall. After that I will probably approach a friend or a few on another collaboration. I'd like to keep this going.
