Hello kiddies.. It's Henry again. Jen said I should write a blog, because she's written a million of these, and I'm already on the computer, so...

As many of you know all our pedals were swiped from our van last Sunday, which meant we had to cancel our show at Sunday River. To say that I'm angry about it is the understatement of the year, as I spent the past three days wishing massive bodily harm on the culprits. But it could have been worse, and thankfully— thanks to credit cards, generous friends and family, and some reverse engineering— we'll be totally back up to speed in a couple of days.

Screw all that, though.. just like Carl don't need no instructions to know how to use the Foreigner belt, we don't need no stinkin' pedals to know how to rock. After getting the wind knocked out of us (and the window knocked out of the van), we're back on track this weekend in Portland, ME and Troy, NY. Specifically, we're playing the "new" Geno's in Portland, and in Troy we're bringing it to Positively 4th Street, our usual haunt. It'll be good to see our favorite peeps out in Troy again (our boys in Blackcat Elliot, for one), and Artie keeps a great jukebox selection.

Damn.. I still can't believe our stuff got stolen. The annoying part is having to scour eBay. I don't like auctioning, I just want to buy my stuff and get it done with. But no, I just had to go and get pedals that have been discontinued. I did some mad sniping on a couple of delay pedals, though. Whoever "denobler" and "gitbox1" are, they must really hate me.

Two to five business days can't come soon enough... Bah.. no use dwelling on this.

Also, new website is just over the horizon. We'll be making use of YouTube and Flickr accounts, so if anyone has any photos or video of us, do let us know! Email aloud@allthingsaloud.com.

I always feel so much pressure writing these things now. I feel like I'm supposed to write pages and pages of stuff, but I should probably cool it... brevity is the soul of wit, or sommat..

Okay, off to make some more credit card charges before getting to bed. We'd better see you all this weekend!

Cheers,
Henry
