WORM QUARTET UPDATE AND BLATANT PLUG - 3/22/07

Hi, daHACKCOUGHCOUGHHACK*PHLEEEEEGM!!!!*

Dammit, I'm sick! This is all YOUR FAULT! Or, more likely, it's
because I've substituted energy drinks for sleep too many nights in
a row! But THAT'S YOUR FAULT TOO!!!

Anyway, regardless, I'm taking off for Long Island tomorrow morning,
and coming back for a couple of shows right here in Rochester in the
near future! If you live near either of these things (or Michigan,)
then IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION!!!

I smell like baby-wipes, due to a furious leak-related wipedown I had

Definitely time to shut up now! Hope you guys are all having a
glorious time doing whatever the hell it is you do. Thanks as always
for supporting my crap!
