Hey everyone,

Wow, again thank you sooo much for comin out to our last show the other night. It was definitely the most fun we've ever had playing EVER and we appreciate all the dancing, chanting, singing, and coming up on stage and getting naked very much!!!

It has been such an honor to play music for you guys over the past few years, and we are sad that this band has to come to an end, but at the same time we are excited for what lies ahead in the future. Heather is about to graduate and move to Philly. Adam is also about to graduate and move to Vermont where he has a job doing something with chainsaws. Chris has a job at Lockheed Martin, has a house, and is about to get married at the end of this month!!! Emi, Dave, and I are going to be seniors here at SU next year, so we'll definitely be around either playin music or comin out to the shows.

We started this band a few years ago to just hang out, write fun songs, play high-evergy shows, and NEVER take ourselves too seriously. And after everything, I'm really proud and glad to say that that is exactly what we did, except in doing so we made a lot of great friends and met a lot of awesome people.

We just recorded a brand new song that we played the other night called Harrison Ford Love Tunnel (that's us not taking ourselves seriously haha) and I just posted it on our myspace page. So if you are interested, you can go and download it.

Alright, welp this is gettin long, but again I just want to say thank you for everything. I said it the other night and I'll say it again, you guys make up the greatest music scene ever and it has been a priviledge to make you guys dance.

Be good guys, see ya next fall.

hehe, funny thing, as the benefits finished the set I looked at my brother and said, "New band members"

He simled and said, "Yeah, we can be a benefits cover band with 3/4 of the benifits in the band."
