FLOODS OF '08

Instead of spending the days writing and practicing this week we have been trying to stay dry. Tuesday morning we woke up to several phone calls telling us to get over to the warehouse and get all our equipment out of it. We got all the expensive stuff out approximately 3 hours before half of a railroad bridge directly infront of the warehouse washed away. So far everything inside is dry but time will tell. We then went and helped fill and transport sandbags for about 6/7 hours yesterday. It was pretty amazing to see the thousands of people out helping.

We are all safe and are lucky that we know lots of people in the area. Thank you to everyone who has already offered us places to stay and food to eat. Right now we are fine but we'll let you know if anything changes. There are lots of people who have "really" been affected by these floods and could use your help more than we could.

We are scheduled to play The Hub on Saturday night but right now the Hub is surrounded by sandbags and they cleared everything they could out of it. We'll let you know what the status of the show is when we learn.

stay dry.
