Big Weekend, Voter Fraud

School of Athens

This is a huge weekend for us. We're going on a tour throughout Pittsburgh. Tonight we'll be at Market Square with Big Green Tanks, tomorrow we'll be at Station Square with Good Brother Earl and Saturday we'll be playing at a park in Kennedy Township. True rock stars.

Speaking of rock stars... it's time to vote for the best of the best in Pittsburgh's City Paper again. Last year we were blessed with title of Best Indie Rock Band and this year we're campaigning for Best Pop/Rock band. I know it's lame to ask you to vote for us, but hey! VOTE FOR US HERE!

Below is my list of people you have to vote for to be my friend:

Best solo artist: Paul Luc
Best radio personality: Gab Bonesso
Best bartender: Becky Sauers
At the end of the survey is a write in space... add your name there for "Neal's best friend"

There are so many good bands in Pittsburgh we're going to have to kill so we're voted best rock band again. We need to poison Triggers, Kill The Drama and Persona Grata to have any chance...

Did you get the new Horse The Band CD yet?

We have the honor to play with one of my favorite bands, Division Day at Club Cafe on October 10th. You have to come to this show or they'll kick me in the kids. I think Barack Obama is opening.

School of AthensListen to me. The weather is changing and it's about time to buy a nice warm $12 shirt with our name and logo on it. Would you rather it be a hoodie with our faces on it? How about this... you vote for whose face should be on the shirt. Just one of us. Really big. (Mom, please vote for me)

Email 8-16-07



Greetings from my lunch break at work. Someday I'll be writing "Greetings from the road" but until then I'll just steal company time to tell you, to beg and plead to you to come see us tomorrow at Peter's Pub in Oakland with the band 28 North at 10pm. It's going to be one of those shows where we try to out-drink Steve the homeless guy who sits outside of 7-11. Speaking of the homeless, or the home-challenged, I almost got into a fight with a homeless guy the other day outside of PNC Park. Does that make me look bad? I can't help the fact I needed some beer... er.. bus money.

School of AthensA recent poll shows that people like our new shirts, stickers and pins. They're selling like iPhones, but at half the price. That's right, our shirts are only $280... but you can get them right now online for $12 or at our upcoming shows. Click this link to buy a shirt.

Okay, I'll leave you with a bit of advice. Thanks for not unsubscribing from our list.
