UPDATED
TOUR INFO
Thank
you all for all of the interest
in my tour dates. The main reason
for this update is to give you all
of the info you've been asking for
and I figured it might be better
to do it this way. At the bottom
of this newsletter are tons and
tons of links on where we'll be
when and at what venues. There is
also information on the composer
and performers. I'm overloading
you with info here 'cuz some of
you have asked for specific information,
some general and some not at all.
This way you can click on everything,
some things, or click the good ol'
delete button...NOW. WAIT! DON'T!.
Damn. Lost 'em. Anyway, as I said
in the newsletter I sent out a couple
of weeks ago, I'm going on tour
with an orchestral piece which combines
classical music and Latin music
and a lot of other styles and is
shaking up the classical music world,
ALWAYS in need of a good shaking
up, starting in California then
working its way back to New York.
All the links are below and thanks
again for all the interest and inquiries.

OTHER
THINGS
Clutch Grabwell's third CD, "See
Ya", is finally here and we're getting
rave reviews from fans and press
alike. It's VIDEO ENHANCED meaning,
yup, pop it in your 'puter and there
you can see 6 of the most handsome
men that ever lived. And then you'll
realize you put the wrong disc in.
Really, though, it's video enhanced.
Check it out. And we just got fantastic
news from "101 Distribution". They've
picked up the CD for distribution
EVERYWHERE, in all the major CD
outlets (Strawberries, FYE, Borders,
Best Buy, etc, etc.) including the
West Coast and ("Jeff" in Toronto
oughtta love this) Toronto. And
also, for those of you here on the
East Coast, the new CD will be at
Newbury Comics in a matter of a
week or so. They have 'em, they
just need to put them in the stores
which takes about that time. If
cdbaby doesn't have the new CD on
their site yet, they're about to
(our second CD, "How Ya Gonna Be"
is there as well). Go to http://www.cdbaby.com
to order. Also, we got some other
great news recently but I'm not
sure I can mention that cuz I'm
not sure it's signed on the dotted
line yet. By the way, there are
new photos of the band in action
on the website (http://www.grabwell.com)
from the Wachusett Mountain Music
Festival so you'll wanna see them
in the "photos" section.

UCOMICS
The
new UComics subscription service
is up and running. You can still
get comics for free there by visiting
the site BUT for a MERE $10 a year
(pay $14 if you want to get a bonus
"Calvin and Hobbes" collection)
you can create your own CUSTOM comics
page every day. It's the coolest
thing...you go there, pick out the
comics you like, set up a page for
yourself, and everyday read "YOUR"
comics, the way YOU want them. Along
with that service, you can archive
the ones you like, so the entire
collection of your favorites is
stored. As well, you can e-mail
a comics "postcard" to friends and
enemies on any given day with any
given comic strip AAAND, there is
a full archive of EACH strip going
back years and years. So let's say
you're bored at work, you can go
through the last 3 years of The
Big Picture! Woohoo! Or, let's say,
you're girlfriend dumped you. As
revenge, you could send her 5 TBP
strips a day for, for the rest of
her life. Or something. Someone
e-mailed me and said "I CAN'T BELIEVE
THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE TEN BUCKS
A YEAR! SHEESH!". Uh...it's hard
to find a decent PIZZA that costs
less than that, folks. Krikee.Top
notch comic strips every friggin
day for a year, in a custom set-up
plus all the options to do what
you want with 'em. $10. If you can't
swing that for that, you got some
self evaluating to do, dood.

POOPIE
HEADS.
The
Arizona Star in Tucson, AZ is a
Poopie Head. Thank you. Just had
to get that out. I obviously did
SOMEthing to REALLY piss them off
cuz they're pulling some REALLY
weird stuff over there. I dunno,
maybe the editors are fat or something
and they didn't like my fat 'toons.
Sheesh. Get a grip. I do BALD 'toons,
don't I????? Anyway, I'm assuming
they won't be attending my concert
in Tucson . At least not without
rotten tomatoes.
'K..See
you all out there on the road- here
is ALL the information, in its glory
and detail. And, by the way, for
those of you asking where Ginger
will be while I'm away...you shall
see! If you're not interested in
the tour, NOW is actually the time
to delete. And, as always, THANK
YOU. Lennie guliov's website/general
