hola motherfuckers. i guess i have some shit to say. first and foremost: everyone come out and see stratton at queen of peace high school in north arlington. if you're gonna come ask anyone of stratton for directions. get there at like 7. i think we go on at 7:30, and i have no idea what the cost is.

second: stratton hits the studio next week to record their EP. we'll be heading back to ambush recordings in perth amboy to record the follow up to the texaco demos, which will have 6 tracks, 5 new original songs and a remastered version of the OC. the EP will probably cost like 5 bucks, and you can get it by contacting us through myspace or purevolume, or if you're one of our friends just holla at ya bois, and it will be available at all upcoming shows.

track list (as of now):
1) I Could Never Really Price Dining Room Sets Anyway, Alex
2) We Went to War with Redbank...and Won
3) Leverage and Coverage (Sandy's Tits)
4) untitled track as of now
5) untitled track as of now
6) O.C., California (The Surgery Song)

third: come out to see stratton on march 30th at hamilton street. admission is $8 in advance from the band, or $10 @ the door. i'm still unsure of door time, but we'll be playing with haven 21, the prize fight and the specs. come out for a bitchin' ass fuckin' time.

fourth: i'd like to thank everybody who came to justin's for our birthdays last saturday. i hope everyone had a radical time. i know i did. and by the by, colleen, the cake was superb, you kick ass.

fifth: as most of you know, danny wust recently passed away. stratton knew him as emo danny, and he was a very close friend to all of us. he came to so many of our practices and sang along, we invited him on stage to sing "it's dangerous business walking out your front door" with us at the last annex show, and we hung out when we weren't doing anything as a band. we will be dedicating our set to him at queen of peace high school, along with most of our upcoming shows. fritz and me are trying to set up a benefit show at st. joseph school in carteret, nj. all the money would go to danny's family, to help them with the funeral/wake costs. we knew danny very well, he would have wanted us to keep playing and keep having a good time and remembering his life. he will never be forgotten, we'll love him forever.
