all right, so you thought last month's letter was stretching things a bit, wait until you get a load of this one. this month we've been stretched thin on the gig frontline, we're a bit weak on the interesting gossip side attack, and general attempts at humor may be our final downfall. so, give us a break this month, we deserve it ...

personal dirt about the band

the real dirt these days is that i am being a horrible bandmate. i've become overweight, i smoke incessently, and i've taken to slicking my hair back with about a quart of recycled 30wt oil left over from the last time i did an oil change in my bug. i'm seriously considering tracking down a woman named pricilla to marry, and sequins are looking more and more appealing each day.

rob had a birthday this past weekend and we celebrated it in grand style, surprising him by faking a band practice and instead having a bbq with a "this is your life" flash of friends from the past. of course, this is mostly hearsay, since i didn't arrive until late, as usual, despite it being held at my house.

glenn and sean... well, they both attended rob's birthday party. hows that for astonishing news? other than that, they're rumored to be hanging out with sean penn, punching out gossip reporters.

new music bulletin

closing statement

not too many huge things in summary this month, other than some news regarding those who have WWW internet access and have been checking out our home page. i've finally moved my machine out of my old house (echo st) and the new name for it is klinzhai.iuma.com, the new URL for the eden retread home page being:
http://klinzhai.iuma.com/eden-retread/index.html
as usual, if you know of anyone who wishes to be added to the eden retread online mailing list, please have them mail me (jonl@hal.com) and i'll take care of 'em right away. (no, i *don't* mean kill them and dispose of the body).

ta ta, --jon, for the rest of the boyz in za band
