Hello Juergonians.
Grab your lasers and lesbians cuz its almost summer 2008. We are excited to announce some preliminary dates for our European tour. And in addition to Europe, this summer will promise SoCal dates, a Northwest tour, new videos, borg-blogs (blorgs), movie soundtracks and more. Stay tuned and we'll see you soon
A big Thank You to everybody who has been sending us donations. As many of you know we had our trailer broken into in Portland on the last tour and a good deal of gear was stolen. We have been getting by with the kindness of many people lending us equipment, saying kind things, kissing Kevin on the cheek and donating what they can. If you feel so moved you can send us a check or a picture of a unicorn and it will be appreciated.
