well, my friends are in a recently signed, to Elektra Records, band. Split Shift is is an up and coming rock band that i am sure you will all know about soon enough. they just finished recording their debut album in California and Arizona, and it will be released in the spring of 2004. you may have heard them on local radio stations such as 104.1 wmrq, 106.9 wccc, and 107.3 waaf. they are playing at Toad's Place in New Haven this friday. i will be going to the show with them, and wanted to get the word out to any one that might be interested in attending. it is an all ages show, and they will be playing with Gargantua Soul, Dogfight, and a few other bands. if you want more info on the band, check out their website at www.splitshiftonline.com . let me know if anybody from the site will be there. it is an all ages show.

no charge for the disk. next months CCA meeting will be dealing with eels. i will be talking about using them in the surf, and someone will be talking about using them in a boat.
