Hey everyone,

Its been a while. Hope things are going well for you! I just received a fantastic e-mail today from my writing partner, Michael Kreher. Our friends at ReberbNation have selected the video we shot to thank Microsoft for making Dark Lotus available on their Windows Myspace page to be featured on many of their web properties! This is an awesome exposure opportunity for us so we are very grateful to both companies for helping us move forward. Ill keep you posted when our video hits the sites!

On another cool note, tonight at 9PM CST I will be sitting down to talk with Joey from Wildgoo Radio. Wildgoo has over 125,000 listeners so Im really hoping that everyone of them buys our records Be sure to tune in to show your support at Wildgoo.com

Lately my life has been consumed by creating an Open Mic for Charlottesvilles musical community. Im really excited to say that the first even last Thursday went over extremely well. We had 11 artists come out to share their music and were graced with a featured performance by Brian Patrick! If you live around the Charlottesville area I hope that youll come out to join us tomorrow night. Obviously, many of you live outside of Virginia, and many more outside of the United States  for that matter  so I am working to give you a little window into our fun by digging into wireless internet streaming solutions. I hope to be able to share some progress with you on that end soon so that you can check out some of the fantastic local talent here and maybe catch an unreleased atris song or two.

Hope this finds you feeling healthy!

P.S. I received the below message from a friend of ours named Owen on Twitter. His charity, Rage Arts, gives children of all ages the opportunity to work alongside professionals to create film, theater, and music productions. My bandmates and I firmly believe that the arts are an integral part of a well-rounded eduction and encourage you to support these types of initiatives.
