A Diary Entry:
Post Christmas Wrap-up
by: Chris Saracino

December 29th, 2003

Realizing that nobody has made a diary entry in quite a little while, I discovered that I wanted to make one.

Our collective Chritmas was grand. Steve got a wide assortment of leather clothing and latex masks for his new little business, Paul got the B-44 box set on DVD that he was looking for, I got all of my "Everybody Loves Raymond" episodes on DVD as promised by my parents, and Trevor got some really good news that he decided to share with everyone....which has apparently become public knowledge, but that I am refraining from sharing just in case I get the beats from someone for not checking it out. More to come soon.

In other news, we are gearing up for our New Year's Eve gig at the 360 in Toronto currently. Steve is planning on buying some new gear, and I fiddled with the idea of getting this smoking 1972 Ludwig wideswing vintage drum kit that I've been eyeing for the last few days. We have working demos of the new stuff for our E.P. right now....which are actually unmixed tracks of what is actually going to be on the E.P. Prime on our agenda is finishing this off, but we are currently deciding on who to mix the record....and that sometimes takes a while....don't fret tho...we are on it.

Besides that, Steve and I almost got into a little fisticuff in Montreal with some rowdy Americans over the holidays. Apparently Steve said something to someone on the way to the bathroom, and then at the end of the night...we were threatened. Steve and I were going to tag team these dudes like Ric Martel and Tito Santana, but that didn't pan out because some gigantic bouncer busted up our plans and let us out of the back. The same gigantic bouncer let us know as he ushered us to safety, that he was a part time comedian, and that he was performing at Yuk Yuk's in Ottawa on January 12th, 2004.

ahem...yes.

Otherwise...I think I can speak on behalf of the band saying that we hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season.

Come and see us on New Year's Eve if you live in Toronto. I got a new headband that I'm going to wear.

Chris,

Trevor, Paul, and Steve.
