Which brings us to the first quarter of 2006. It took us a minute to edit the DVD last summer because Karina and I had to edit out the thousands of bad shots of us. It’s interesting what camera guys can get when they’re in the pit filming up our skirts. We had a good time in the editing bay laughing at ourselves because for the past ten years we had imagined that we looked way cooler on stage. This is not the case. We are not cool at all . To top it off, when we were doing the commentary the first time around, Karina and I started arguing, which then escalated into a full
blown fight. The guys thought it was the funniest thing they had ever heard, but we decided to keep the first pass at the commentary to ourselves. It actually is the funniest thing we could ever release, but we burned all copies, so you will never know.

Now that the DVD is out, we have decided it’s probably time to finish those songs we claimed to be writing. We managed to play one at the show without blowing it, but we really should have finished them all a year ago when we started them, because we forgot a lot of the parts between then and now. I swear we will do it. We are almost done with a bunch of songs. We talked about putting them all together and making one long medley so that you couldn’t tell that they were missing a part. We will ask Fat Mike what he thinks of our Frankenrecord idea and get back to you.

Hey, it has been a long time! We’re doing one U.S. show this year. It’s this Friday, July 16th at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Orange County, CA. I hope you guys can make it. We’re going on EARLY – at 7:30pm. Make sure to get there with plenty of time, otherwise you’ll miss us, we’ll miss you, and sadness will abound. Hope to see all of your familiar faces. It should be a lot of fun. After the show, you can go to the fair next door and throw up your corn dog and cotton candy on the Whipper Zipper – that is if you don’t die from the ride breaking and crashing to the ground while you’re in the cage. Fair rides are so sketchy. That’s half the excitement.

“This is the last date we’re going to add, and other than Honolulu in the Fall, these are our only US dates we’re going to do this year.”

Sorry east coasters, but get some cheap airline tickets before it’s too late!
