| September 23rd- Well most of you surfing through this site
probably have gotten your hands on Happiness... by now. I know myself, I believe that this is their best
work to date and I can say without hesistation that in my honest opinion this is the best thing to come
out this year.
Also after the show on Tuesday, I can say OLP have not lost their edge as a live act either. The set they played to the 5,000+ invite onlys at the SkyDome was nothing short of electric. It offered a few surprises and you can look for the setlist and a few reviews soon in TOURWATCH. However the photos will not be up till tuesday at the latest. As it turns out Advantix camera film takes a few days to develop. But I know I got some great pics :) The site is going through a slight makeover as you might have noticed. Frames will be getting a much needed facelift in the next week, and the title graphics have already changed. Look out for update after site update in this next week, not so much the news but new lyrics and tabs and everything else have to be added. Its a real effort! I hope you all enjoy the new look :) The contest is having its share of problems. We are receiving a number of entries but it seems alot of them are having trouble with the creative aspect of the whole thing. Keep in mind folks that the name of your fish cannot be named Rainy, Rain, Rayne or Mike or Mik or anything close to the name of a member of the band. You really have to think about this folks :) We can't give out fish to just anybody can we?! You have to impress us :) Also quick reminders to look out for OLP on the MMVA's tonight. They will open the show with a live performance of One Man Army at 8 pm EST. Also fans going to the show on the 25th in Charlotte can look forward to the first official OLP autograph session in a long time! No word on times or places just yet, watch out for tourwatch. Also if you live in Canada and live near a Tower records, and still haven't bought Happiness! Go out and buy it now! You can get a free poster and fortune cookie! Thats all for now, I'm on to update tourwatch... |

September 20th- I am updating in a abit of a state right now! I was
informed this afternoon that I will be going to the OLP show tomorrow! I won the PPU contest and I won
the right to attend their show tomorrow night at the dome! Needless to say you can all expect pics and a
huge review from me in Tourwatch.
Seeing as I will be busy tomorrow night, I decided I would post all the new graphics and give the site a pretty once over because of course I won't be around tomorrow night. There are a few updates for example, there are 4 new articles in the Articles section. We have a few new graphics floating around and we even have a brand new contest! I hope that keeps you all busy until Thursday when you can expect a few nice updates from me! Rick has a review of the album coming and I don't even know what Sara's got yet! Gotta Fly! |
