Oh crap...I knew I forgot to email someone about it.

Andy and I went to the viewing...very sad. Dix was a great guy. From 
what I understand, they are still investigating. The pool had not been 
inspected since 04. Terrible news. All the old punks are going way too 
soon :-(

I guess you heard about Ram Ayala at Taco land....that was a shock too. 
Fucked up world.

Todd, I got to play with not only The Delinquents (Brian wants to 
record a new album now) but also De Lewellen and John Keller, and Ty 
Gavins new band, a few weeks ago? Cool shit. Three sets in one night is 
rough though.
