1) We're performing live this Saturday, March 12 at
the Lower Greenville St. Patrick's Day Festival in
Dallas with Junior and Phil Pritchett, both great
bands. Our set runs 1 to 3 p.m., so if you're in Big
D, you should come check us out. It's free, and
there's probably green beer involved.

2) Our own Brandon Jackson was recently named "Best
Acoustic Guitarist" by Payne County Line magazine in
their best of 2004 awards. Don't forget you can always
check out Brandon and Steve Rice of No Justice at
Rooster's in Stillwater every Monday night.

3) As long as we're discussing awards and voting, you
can also vote for us in the Oklahoma Gazette Woody

Toby Keith won last year, but hey, maybe we've got a
shot this year.

advance if you can vote.

Our song "Mexican Boyfriend" just got selected for the 2004 Midpoint Music Festival compilation CD. We're pretty excited, as only a few of the 180 or so bands showcasing got picked for it. We'll try to get a few extra copies at the festival next month, and bring 'em back for you guys.

Recording went well, and you can now hear the results. We just set up a page on myspace.com, and it's got a streaming version of our brand-new song "You Don't." Check it out at myspace.com. If you like it, please give it a good rating, so it can climb the myspace charts. While you're there, if you'd like to be our friend, sign up. We need all the friends we can get.
