"A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE IDES FOR ALL THE SUPPORT WE HAVE GOTTEN FROM THE FANS AND THE X-TREME FANS THIS WHOLE SUMMER SEASON."

   We have gotten kinda spoiled knowing there will always be a built in great response to every show we do.  You guys really get the whole crowd going - "well they're going bonkers - I guess we should too!"  That kind of enthusiasm is really contagious!  We're coming up on the last public summer show in Darien on Sept. 6 and know it will be the best show yet.
  THANKS to everyone who made Mike Borch feel like a million bucks on his 39th b-day!  Also to the poetry sisters who's hard work and talent blew Karen and I away with their beautifully framed poem on how we met and a carrying bag with hilarious graphics.  The more we look at that stuff the more meaning we find.  And of course to Joyce & Pete Paliulis for their non-stop hard work on our behalf.  Thanks Joyce for the unbelievable picture sleeve discography.  There is stuff on there I even forgot about.
   OVERALL - THANKS to everyone for a great season.  Here's to a great fall and winter season.  Lots of good things in the works, which I will try to fill you all in on - on a more regular basis.  Also to the fan named Jeff, who gave me the videos.  Believe it or not, I think I may have that concert footage request of his filled very soon.
