Hi All,

I will be back in NYC this week. I can't take too much of Florida, it's always vacation time down here. I need people walking on sidewalks. I need sidewalks!

On Thursday I will be at the GRAND CENTRAL bar where JOE BENDIK, T.J. JORDAN, KAOS FROM ORDER and Super # 7 will be welcoming me back. Come on by and eat some FREE BBQ chicken and listen to some great music.

On Friday, I will head to Beaverkill, NY, to prepare for JOHN LAW'S JOHNNYPALOOZA at his house up there. There will be a rock'n'roll baseball game followed by around 10 or 12 full bands. Amongst them will be John's band, THE X-s and otheres along with (hopefully) a BIG surprise. That will be followed by what I like to call "Rock'n'Roll Campfire Girls", an all-nite unplugged jam session.

Then as I struggle to regain my sense, I will return to NYC for a 10 band blow-out at OTTO's SHRUNKEN HEAD with THE NEW PROFESSIONALS, THE LOVE PIRATES, NOVA CLUTCH, THE DISRUPTORS, ACID RAYZ, BLONDE & BLUE, JONESCRUSHER, ZACK MILLER, BETTIE AFTER MIDNITE and some more surprises til closing at 4am.

In the meantime HONOR AMONG THIEVES is blazing a trail down the East Coast. On Thursday they brought out the cops at JILLIAN's in Norfolk, Va. Cherokee gave the cops a shout out and they responded with a playful blast of the siren. They left before she invited them in for donuts. Then it was on to SLIM's in North Carolina on Friday.

After Slim's they jumped in the van and headed down to Fort Lauderdale. They arrived after a 13 hour drive and I suggested we head for the beach for food and sand and liquor. I took them to (where else) a tiki bar! As soon as Cherokee took off her top the clouds came out and ruined the view. Undaunted we ate and went to the POOR HOUSE in downtown FORT LAUDERDALE where the played to a packed house. 3 SETS! The crowd loved them and they can't wait for more. After which they had a well deserved day off.

Monday brought them to SEÑOR FROG's on SOUTH BEACH with it's 25cents beers and over 100 different types of tequila. Enough said. Tuesday it's still Miami Beach at the PURDY LOUNGE, then into regular Miami on Weds. for a show at CHURCHILL's PIB. After which they will head back to NYC.

Well I hope to see alot of you while I'm in town. I'll be leaving next Tues. to return to Florida and prepare for NOVA CLUTCH, THE NEW PROFESSIONALS, the SEX SLAVES and JOKER 5 SPEED amongst the other bands that will be making the trip down here.

So don't forget to keep supporting your local original live music scene. As I am describing the bands to the people down here, it is:

ORIGINAL LIVE ROCK'n"ROLL
The Way It Was
The Way It Is
The Way It Should and WILL BE!

See ya soon!

Take care,

WOOD
