I know you’ve all been waiting to find out who the big winner was for our Publishing Company naming contest. Well, after submitting the top names to BMI, getting approval from them and coming up with a decent prize (I didn’t want to give any junk prizes) I am now ready to congratulate Dan Bennett, who submitted the name Holy Howes of Rock Publishing (among a number of other creative and fun ideas). Jeri and I liked that one best out of all the name ideas. Thanks to everyone who submitted ideas, it was a lot of fun and I was thrilled at how many of you responded and the quality of the submissions, it was great. So anyway, here is the prize that Dan has won:
- A limited physical edition of the “Heaven Is My Retirement Plan” maxi-single, which includes these four songs: 1. Heaven Is My Retirement Plan 2. Hard To Find 3. Weezer’s Undone (The Sweater Song) and 4. Wish List 2009. I’ve only paid for a license to sell the Weezer song digitally, so I cannot sell any cd’s with it on there. Therefore, I’ve made two thus far. One for Dan and one that I sent in to CD Baby so they can do their digital distribution magic thing.
- One Heaven Is My Retirement Plan T-Shirt (as seen on the cover art for the aforementioned maxi-single). See the picture below. I had 25 of these t-shirts made up and if you want one and would like to support the band, they can be had for $10 each. Right now they are available in M, L and XL. A store page on the site will be set up soon, otherwise, just send me an email and we can work out the details. Yes, you can reply to this email.

Like I said in our previous post, we will be having dinner before our show on Saturday night. So if you can, feel free to join us for a culinary adventure at Tres Lobos in Holland at 6:15pm on Saturday, January 23rd. Let me know if you plan on coming so I can make sure we have enough room (for those of you who have already responded, there is no need to respond again). I have a rather large table reserved. If you can’t make it to the dinner, but can come to the show, great! It’s just down the road. Below are the maps:
See you Saturday night!

Just wanted to send you a quick note that we are playing a big show next Saturday, Jan 23rd at the Bayshore Yacht Club from 8 – 11pm. You can come anytime. We’ll be playing all our hits plus some great covers, including our latest country punk version of Weezer’s Undone (The Sweater Song).
If you are interested, we will be having dinner at a nearby resaurant (to be disclosed soon) before the show if you would like to join us and hang out eating food. This is a chance for us to spend time with our closest friends and fans, which is hard to do when we’re in the middle of blasting out our rock ‘n roll. If you’re getting this email, you are invited. Please let me know if you’re coming so we know how many people to plan on. We can’t afford to pay for everyone, so plan on paying for your own food and drinks.
We’ll also be announcing the winner of our contest for picking out our new publishing company name and announcing the ultra-cool, sweet prizes they won.
If you haven’t downloaded The Sweater Song yet, please take a minute and do so here.
Thanks a lot everyone and take care,
Jason
