Wow, almost an entire month since we dropped a note. Sorry for the lack of news and entertainment but you know life gets big sometimes and things like this tend to fall back a bit.

We enjoyed playing at the nice sounding Double Door and once again thanks to the people who made it out.

Side Notes: Julie just got back from a little tour she did with oRSo. I´m working on the Chiyoko band, Greg is off to see Radiohead in Colorado tonight (lucky bastard....ok kidding), and Jeff is seriously cranking out music as usual.

We are one of many involved in the RISING: Asian American Sounds Music Series at The Old Town School of Folk Music. You should really try and make this one cause there are no more shows booked for some time and it´s FREE! The place is supposed to be fantastic and YES, they have beer on tap!

Maybe something spontaneous will happen but Sweeder´s going to get a bit quiet. Hopefully, making the music to be included on the next CD. I am told this CD might materialize early spring 2002.
