eric-
        i remeber reading about those two additional people as well-maybe
they just got really busy since the band are legit rock stars overseas-i
also know that black park is also managing son volt, which could be
taking up lots of time too.  at least they are playing a couple of
shows...anyone going to baltimore (assuming the contract really gets
signed for them to play and the tickets go on sale!)  any other brilliant
ideas on lack of fan club stuff?        later-polly
