  3. Hey Pete! I was one of the sea of people at Penn's Peak who waited for your John Hancock on me poster and drove all the way from Pittsburgh to get it! ;-) It made the trip all teh way back without a bend after initially being signed by the rest of the guys in Greensburg a week prior.

    I've attended the Cleveland, Greensburg, now Penn's Peak show this year and I must say Penn's Peak was the ultimate venue and crowd! Your drumming sounded fantastic and never skipped a beat. Nice new drums by the way!!!

    Only thing I forgot to ask is they had you guys crystal clear on those giant sized Jumbo-tron screens. Does that mean they'll be a DVD of tha show?

    If so, I think you guys way topped the LOOT DVD of 2005!
