A couple of weeks back we did our first show without Jay (She may have been washing her hair or something), well, we need not have worried - people went wild. In fact many said it was better without... oh, hi Jay... yeah just updating the site. So last thursdays gig was fun and it was great to have Jay back. Yeah that's it.

We just finished recording at Mobius
Music in San Francisco for the Something Big album. We recorded "Always Something
There to Remind Me", "Are You There (With Another Girl", "Here I

12th Oct. 1999
Tuesdays gig was ok, some estimates were 1,000 people in attendance, I don't know but it
was sure packed. The second set was delayed due to the performance of the Chinese dragons,
that come in to bring luck to a new business, coming late. What actually happened was one
of them got hit by a car outside the venue. Brian (Our technician), pointed out that the
dragons may not be so lucky after all. We'll post some photos of the show tonight.
8th Oct. 1999
We all got new music stands yeah! and new
shirts that Jay is making us wear Boo! We said NO to the sailor uniforms.
