As, of course, you're all aware Drunk Prom Date's influence over our fans, our house pets, and our bladders is immeasurable. Whatever DPD has asked of you, our diehard fans, you've responded with unbridled enthusiasm and vigor. Whether it was writing Senator McCain requesting a National Day of Rock -n- Roll, or Eddie Basha asking the happy grocer to stock more dried meat products, or that letter to Santa wishing us a brand new shiny bass player for the band, our fans have always come through for the DPD.

Drunk Prom Date thanks you all and we'd like to believe we've rewarded you with the most entertaining, in your face rock and roll show a band can provide given the lack of talent that three of the five DPD members possess. But what we lack in musical taste we surely make up for in tight trousers. So it was to our great pleasure that last week you responded to our outcries by bombarding a certain periodical (we can't mention names because they have not-so-subtly warned us about becoming their enemy) with emails which evoked the following response:

Drunk Prom Date (care of Manager@DrunkPromDate.com) Et Al:

Within 40 minutes of your email disbursements last night, I received 5 "forwarded messages" from people you sent this to. In short, your recipients sent it to me, as well as various people on my team. Within 4 hours of the e-blast, I received a total of 12 of your messages "forwarded" to me. And this morning, within 10 hours of the sent message, I have received 16 "forwarded" messages.

All told, we must share the same friends, fans and relationships; we are connected in more ways than one might think.

As the Publisher of N*w T*m*s, my job is to build relationships with the community, with people, with bands! Therefore, here is the 20 million dollar seal-killing, conglomerate question....how can you and I extend our positions in the marketplace and help each other rather than split our unified fan base? If you pull one way and I push another, neither of us win. More importantly, our mutual FANS lose.

Lastly, I feel the urge to remind you that making a point without making an enemy, is an important element in managing one's goals.

Be Well,
Unfortunately for them our managing skills are similar to our musical skills - nonexistent. And our only our goal is to rock the sox off our loyal followers. Twisted Sister said it best: "You can't stop rock and roll." So even with idle threats lingering in the air from a well known publication, Drunk Prom Date will continue to rock on this Friday night at O'Kelly's in Mesa at 9p. That is, unless we're brutally pummeled by a bunch of jack-boot thugs with typewriters.
