Photos of the Fleet
Recently we sat down with a camera and took some glamour-shots of the typewriter fleet that we've amassed. Really, its become quite impressive, and that doesn't even include my '50s Underwood 5 that's in repose as I figure out how to fix the main carriage return spring.

Defective CDs
It has been brought to our attention that a defective CD was recently sold through our Company Store. Unfortunately, CDs from the same burn batch were sent out around the same time. If you have received a CD anytime over the past 2 months (11/07 - 12/07) that does not play all of the tracks, please email us immediately for a replacement. We can be reached through the Contact and Booking or Human Resources pages.

We regret this mistake.
 
The Weekend That Was (Awesome!)
We played back to back gigs this weekend and both were a blast! First off, many thanks to the The Steamy Bohemians for taking us on their musical, comedic, sexy romp for a second time! Hottest Pirates EVER!

Second: Inexpressibly grateful thanks to the wonderful people at the Somerville Arts Council for allowing us to play ArtBea(s)t 2007. They gave us the chance to play our first concert performance last year and it really opened up a lot of unbelievable opportunities for us. Given the turnout and response, this year was no less fantastic. Thanks to all involved!!!
