We're sitting at the LA airport right now waiting for our connecting
flight to Seattle, super tired but satisfied. That's right folks...
another PUSA trip down under is in the record books and as usual, we
had a real fun time & fell in love w/Australia all over again.
People of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth/Fremantle & Brisbane... you've
have an amazing country down there- thanks for sharing it with us &
showing us such a good time. October 19 NEW VIDEO and FREE MUSIC
The boys are off to Australia today for their final tour in support of
their latest album "Love Everybody" released in 2004 (get it here http://www.presidentsrock.lunarpages.com/store/mt_index.php). If you're down under we hope to
see you. Either way, you're here now, so hopefully you've ad the chance to check out the new promotion/ video/ fundraising
project we've been working on. Our good friends at Wexley School for
Girls (which is nothing like a girls' school) have teamed up with The
Presidents and Microsoft to make a video and all the items for the video are for sale and all the money raised through
the sale will go to support MercyCorps. The video is for "Zero
Friction", which also happens to be the new single in Australia. Check
it out here, it's a fun and cool little project -
www.projectzerofriction.com And, in honor of all this, the song "Zero Friction" is available for free download at The President's My Space site - www.myspace.com/thepresidentsoftheunitedstatesofamerica - in fact there will be a new free download up on My Space every couple of weeks. Free songs will feature album tracks, demos, live tracks, etc. NEW YEAR'S EVE IN AMSTERDAMThinking about New Year's Eve yet? It's not too early to
make plans - to go to Amsterdam! The Presidents are performing at the
best venue in the world - Amsterdam's Paradiso. We are releasing 500
tickets today and announcing it only to PUSA fans. So get your tickets
early and don't miss out on the last party of 2006 and the first and
best party of 2007.

I cant believe it…another one
for the archives…its was a fun day…a beautiful cool Seattle day and we got all
cramped up in a garage with a bunch of boxes and old things and got all jiggy
with the lack of movement of tons of extra stuff all over the place…the song is
zero friction so the idea is that as we play we zap all the things in the
garage and they disappear into a website that sells the stuff for us. easy
peasy as I like to say…the mermaids were not there at the shoot unfortunately
and we didn’t get to ask them all the usual mermaid questions like….how do you
go poo? and what is the best place for fish and chip? and how do you feel about
jet skis?...and do you ever crave a regular bed…not a water bed? and do you
want me to get you a shirt? you know…all those questions you want to ask a
mermaid…so that was too bad cause I have even more questions for mermaids that
I have collected and I wanted to ask them that day but it was not to be…ok
that’s it! I need to go have a sandwich now….bye bye October 15 Various rambling thoughtshelllloooooo...well I am back home and have been for a spell and
taking care of my wonderful kiddies and getting thier little ratty
heads off to school every day and swimming lessons and such and the
chill is on the pumpkins and I love fall in seattle! wow this is the
most beautiful time here...crisp mornings and the promise of sun later
in the day to warm your cheek as you kick the leaves on the way to the
post office to mail little love notes to that far away girl that I love
so much..waaaaaaaaaave..hey there seems like there is a song in there
somewhere...hmmmmmm....and speaking of songs I have been shaking off
the cobwebs and doing a little writing here and there...we need to get
our new practice space all decked out and then its time to get a batch
of ditties ready to record...I like the thing Beck is doing ith
releasing songs one at a time and all that...I hope we can pull off
some sort of alternative to the traditional album thing but we shall
see...I might be adapting a couple of TFH tunes for the band and I
really mean adapting...new chords and such but same groove...could be
cool...!!! my daughter just got up and she is cuddling here in the cold
morning...ok time to go make breakfast and lunches and get these little
piglets off to thier learning center...bye.. |
