It’s all about the monkeys!
We’re home for a couple of days before heading to Florida. We’ve been having many troubles with our video system, so we will likely be without it for the next four shows until we can figure out a more stable system. You just can’t rely on anything 100%… what a positive outlook, ay? 
We’ve had some ups and downs during the first three shows, but the main thing is that we had fun performing. Despite all the BS we’ve encountered so far, meeting the lovely people, and performing our music, has been very fun!
In Chicago I actually interviewed our long time pal Angel! He gave us a brilliant present of a new HL member. We will elaborate more on OPie Muhnkee a bit later. He’s still acclimating to his new home and fighting his need for a nap with a vengeance!! I hope to post my interview with Angel on a future VidCast for “Behind the Tourâ€? which will appear, well, after the tour. I must make sure I have his complete consent to post his interview segments. I hope to interview some more folks on our adventures and am looking forward to meeting some other long-time fans!
We are staying home an extra day. We had planned to leave on Tuesday to go to Florida, but we need more time at home to gather some more things before we leave again. So, we shall drive a long ass time on Wednesday and get to our destination on time on Thursday.
The worst thing that has happened on tour thus far was that I accidentally dropped Trevor and he shattered!!! I may be able to operate and fix him, but he’ll never be quite the same. Damn it all!!! I truly almost cried when I did it. I screamed a few obscenities quite loudly in the club in Peoria and people were like “what happened?â€? and I said “I can’t F***ing believe I dropped him!!â€? I just stared in disbelief at the floor at our poor, poor friend. I am a murderess 
We did get to meet yet another monkey (Bobo) in Peoria though.
Well, it’s time for a cuppa tea and to try and calm down for the day. It’s been a roller coaster in just this short time and my brain just can’t keep up. I know the next few days will be better… I hope.
Take care,
CB & W

Woah! Not sure which monkey is strangest!
Skeb: So many businesses in the world are being ‘made more efficiant’ so that means many good, loyal, workers get the ax… sorry bub…

Oh dear Skeb. That does indeed SUCK! It’s funny the differences in terms from UK to USA. Fortunately, I know what being “made redundant” means, as I’ve got an English boy for a hubbie
But, I feel for ya and the job thing. Soz.
So Angel, do you mind me putting your face up for the interview we did? I plan to have more folks interviewed (hopefully) but regardless of thst, I wanted people to meet the infamous ANGEL!! I will do whatever you wish as far as to release or not to release. Just let me know
And, thanks again for sitting down to talk to me. It was great! I know we were all tired there at the end.
Now, War-N has lost his voice completely!!! Better him than me! Luckily, he doesn’t feel bad… just can’t talk. Weird.
Ok. time to get out of this Motel 6 and head to Starbrush for the morning and just chill with some overpriced corffee drinks!
take care everybody!!!!
