People,

It is hectic than a mug here in Fooled By April land. We got shows coming up, a new record, a new website, a new outlook and Pete even bought a new hamster.

To get away from the hubbub I spent the weekend jetsetting to the fashionable destination of Ithaca, New York, where I visited superfriend Eric Cranklin at the Cornell School of Law. It was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, but I'll admit I spent an ungodly amount of time worrying about whether the website was working and whether our orders were being shipped promptly.

When I did manage to take it easy I had a pretty cool time. Did you know Ithaca is gorges? Jesus lord do they pimp that slogan out there. Hooo-eeee. To their credit, I actually walked down into Ithaca's main gorge and it is pretty damn impressive. After that I fulfilled their slogan once again by stuffing myself with just about every kind of fried food the Ithacans can create. I also saw the new Matrix movie which, how do you say, sucked balls.

But now it's back to the grindstone. As the holidays approach it dawns on us all that the time to rock is nigh.
