I know I've been a little inactive here, still I feel pretty good that some of what were working on will serve to hold everyone over as I regroup and start putting new music together. As I said before there will be something of a transition site up soon. I saw the another draft today and we are making some tweaks, but we'll have new Polaroid’s up, as well as some studio videos and interviews very soon. Were doing our best to keep some info out there and keep it fresh, so bear with us. I tend to sneak away a bit when I'm in the studio, so Casper's going to be helping out and keeping you informed. Also there will be updates to the airport tapes and records site as well as a full launch of Dear Jack Foundation online. I'm still in the process of figuring out what were doing with "light the night" (the leukemia and lymphoma society fund raiser). I'll have that info next round. Thanks for the patience.

Here is a really awesome story some of you might be interested in. When Something Corporate was on tour with Yellowcard a few years back we became friends with a band Called Woodbelly. We had found our way to a bar late night after the Dallas show and there these guys were, ripping it up. Some of you may recall we booked a string of dates right after that tour and we took Woodbelly out on as opener because we were so impressed with their live show. Either way, a few years have passed and I have kept in contact on and off with their singer Cas. Well, the other day he calls to tell me that he has gotten onto that reality show called "America's Got Talent". Truth be told I was a little freaked, for obvious reasons, but I kept an open mind because Cas is by far one of the best singers if not the best singer I have ever seen live, and that list includes some pretty radical names. So I went and checked the youtube link that he sent me and sure enough, his version of "Walking on the Moon" by the police was stellar. I'll throw a link at the end of this for ya'll.
Anyway, you guys should check him out on the show. It airs tomorrow (Tue.) in the evening. Not sure what time, but I doubt that’s too hard to track down if you're interested. It couldn't happen to a sweeter more genuine dude. Not to mention david hasslehoff seems to dig him ;)
Adios
enjoy!

Andrew, can't wait to see the Dear Jack website fully up and running, and also can't wait to hear the gonna-be-amazing music that you guys are working on!
Here's a camp that I worked at this summer that those of you who are active in the fight against cancer might be interested in getting involved with:
Lastly, and by far most importantly: Hasselhoff is a golden god.
