It is seven in the morning in Amsterdam, a wonderful cosmopolitan city in Holland. I'll be here til Saturday morning and will have some internet access so I will post as much as I can from here. I will check out the club scene for live playing this week and try to get you all some info on it as well.

Today, I was thinking of just giving you some info that I have collected from the net recently.

And on another note, we're up over 130,000 hits and now registering at Google on their site list. Thanks for helping to make this such a resounding success in such a short time.

First up, CD RECYCLING INFORMATION

It turns out that billions of CDs and DVDs are manufactured, while millions of these discs end up in landfills and incinerators? This is harmful to our environment. If you use, sell, promote, distribute, or manufacture compact discs, it is important to know how and where to recycle them. Compact Discs, when recycled properly, will stop unnecessary pollution, conserve natural resources, and help slow global warming. Learn how at: www.cdrecyclingcenter.org

Here are some conferences of which you should be aware. It's too late to submit to some of them, but you can still attend:
