Breaker, breaker good buddies.  You got your ears on? ...
 
It's your Arrogant Worms here with a long delayed newsletter.  Why the
delay?  We didn't think we had much to talk about.  Turns out we do...
 
Big American Record Deal
It finally happened.  We just signed a deal with Oglio Entertainment
from Los Angeles.  They will be releasing a Best Of The Arrogant Worms
album on June 4, 2002.  This CD will be bursting with 18 tracks of
Worms goodness.  Two of those tracks will be previously unreleased
gems from the Idiot Road sessions.  This album is meant to introduce
us to the American record buying public and give them an idea of what
we've done for the last 11 years or so.  It also means that our
American friends can buy an album of ours in an actual store.  What a
concept!
 
Historical Data Since November was the last time we wrote to you,
we'll fill you in the goings-on of our little outfit.  We had a fun
little run of Christmas shows in Ontario with some special guests
joining us onstage.  Our producer Andy Thompson and sidekick Drew
Affleck joined us for a show in Ottawa and in St. Catherines and
Windsor we had Murray Foster and Jamie Lamb as our helpful elves. New
Years Eve had us celebrating with the good people of Brantford, ON for
a very fun show.
 
In early January, we made a trip to Montreal to meet our most
well-travelled fan, astronaut Chris Hadfield.  It was a huge treat for
us and he presented us with the copy of C'est Cheese that travelled 8
million kilometres into space.  We're happy it didn't break up on
re-entry.
 
Our meeting with Col. Hadfield was filmed for posterity and also for
inclusion on our TV special.  Let us explain.  We did a show in
January with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.  We have had many
highlights in our career but this has to top everything we've ever
done.  To hear our songs being played by an orchestra was a total
trip.  We were terrified at screwing up but we're happy to say that
the show went really well.  Also in the room that night were several
television cameras that filmed every moment of the show.  The live
show, the astronaut, a skating routine by Kurt Browning, the cast of
NBC's Ed, TV star Nathan Fillion and a bunch of other surprises are
being cobbled together for Three Worms and an Orchestra - our first TV
special.  The show is nearly finished the editing process and will be
sent out to potential broadcasters very soon.  Our producer is sending
it to the big three networks in Canada, several in the United States
and few overseas.  The earliest that it will likely air would be this
fall.  We'll certainly let you in on the details once we hear
something.  We're pretty excited.
 
We had a great trip to Louisiana in March.  We saw alligators, ate
seafood, gambled on a riverboat casino, played back-up percussion with
a Cajun band, hung out in New Orleans and even found time to do a fun
show in Lake Charles.
 
Juno Awards and Canadian Comedy Awards
It was an honour just not to be nominated.
 
The Academy Awards
Why can't David Letterman be the host again?
 
Celebrity Boxing
Fox is the best thing that ever happened to television.
 
The Touring Crystal Ball
As we crawl out from under our winter blankets, the touring season
kicks in once again.  Our psychic predicts that we will be in many
places in the coming months.  She couldn't be much more specific than
that but did suggest to consult our tour schedule on our website.  The
schedule is updated with the regularity of a high-fiber diet so check
in from time to time as shows and information are added.
 
The Enron is Near
That about wraps up another newsletter.  We're looking forward to
seeing you in our travels in the next few months.  We'll do our best
to keep you posted on all things Worm.  Keep well and remember to keep
the mayonnaise in the fridge this summer.  Warm mayonnaise is
dangerous.
 
Chris, Mike, Trevor

Does this mean he's a soup chef?
