How We're Keeping America Free This Independence Day


The Brat Pack is always doing really really patriotic things, like paying taxes, playing 4th of July shows in the Bahamas, helping old ladies across the street, and providing constant reminders of the greatest decade that ever lived. We gave our lifesize Uncle Sam to a sweet little redhaired girl last year because she reminded us of what makes this nation strong and free. We gave away our gigantic inflatable American flag themed beer cooler too because someone needed it a lot more than we did. And for our greatest, most pro-USA act ever, we will eat as much American grown food as possible this holiday weekend, to keep our economy and biceps strong.

We Went All the Way to the Bermuda Triangle, and All We Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

OOPS! Did I say "lousy t-shirt?" I meant kick-ass gig plus vacation!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Jacob. You rock!

The Only Way to Fly

I was getting nervous about our trip next week, but we might still have time to switch to a gentler form of air travel. Sure there's less altitude and a lot less room for checked luggage, but it's so soft and sweet, who cares?

Oops!

Guido explained some stuff to me this weekend. I was under the impression, because I think Jesse Van Halen said something about it, that we'd be doing our Fourth of July show on the Atlantis Space Shuttle, currently docked at NASA. Apparently that was wrong. Guido laughed and said "No no no, it's docked there so that the computers can be fixed not so people can party! You silly!"


Then he told me that we're actually playing the lost continent of Atlantis in the Bermuda Triangle. It seems a little scary really, but I'll bring goggles.

Have Korg OASYS, Will Travel!


Help poor Jesse Van Halen get his keyboards to the Bahamas! As it turns out, his organ is just too darn big for conventional shipping and so rare that no one in the Bahamas or Florida or the entire continental US has one available to rent. In fact, when he called Korg for advice on this terrible dilemma, they had no idea what he was talking about and put him on hold forever. He has one pretty good option, and that's to charter a plane just for the keyboard for $11,000, if we can find one in time. Another possibility is to buy him a second one, which would only cost about $9,000. We were just wondering if any of our regular readers happened to have one we could borrow, or maybe if you're thinking about flying your private plane down to Miami on July 2, that would really help us out a lot too.
