Don't worry, it's a Roland keyboard, the guys didn't go out and buy some sort of freaky unknown thingee...

All I can say is that I am really looking forwards to real hugs in DC. I went to see perfessional skating tonight. I walked in to the arena muttering "Please not Angel, Please not Angel." Katerina Wit comes out and the chord sounds; Sarah McGlaclan's (mauled the spelling) Angel. My feelings reviled themselves to me for the first time tonight, and they ran down my cheeks and off my chin in a steady flow. Ben was gone. I just hope that I will be in concert state of mind by tomorrow, but I can't help but be in a good mood at a fruvous show. The nite was not a total lose, though. Due to my final release, my heart was not so heavy and I could enjoy the antics of the Flipping Joseph, the Flaming Gay Rudey (doing village people no less!), and Victor Patrinco's own Billie Jean medoly. thanx for the love, you guys are life support to the soul.....I wish I could find my Wood CD =.+(.....I will go listen to Lee...

Four people were injured in a string of related bizarre accidents. >> Sherry Moeller was admitted with a head wound caused by flying masonry, >> Tim Vegas was diagnosed with a mild case of whiplash and contusions on >> his chest, arms and face. Bryan Corcoran suffered torn gum tissue, and >> Pamela Klesick's first two fingers of her right hand had been bitten >> off. How did all this happen? Moeller had just dropped her husband off >> on his first day of work and, in addition to a good-bye kiss, she flashed >> her breasts at him. "I'm still not sure why I did it," she said later >> "I was really close to the car, so I didn't think anyone could see. >> Besides, it couldn't have been for more than two seconds."
