Hey gang,
Well, it finally happened. And you thought it never would. Lapdog has booked their first show in a long time! We'll be at 14 Below in Santa Monica on Friday, October 19th at 10:30 or so. We hope to have advanced ticket sales available on our website soon, so look for that. Can't make it? Don't worry; we are in the middle of booking lots more shows, and we'll send another newsletter very soon with more chances to see us live. Hope to see you there.

Speaking of shows, we need fliers! We're having a contest where there will be many winners. Design us a flier with a blank space for the club name, time and date. If we use it, you'll get a free Lapdog t-shirt. Use your imagination, we're open to anything. It should be 8.5" x 11", black and white, and easy to open with my PC. Maybe convert it to an Adobe PDF file so others can download it. Send entries to: fliers@lapdogmusic.com. We may also need a street team in each city we play in. If you help promote the show and hang some fliers, you'll get in free, as well as get a Lapdog t-shirt. More on that as we add shows.

We have yet another song up for your listening pleasure. It's called 'No Way Out' and it's an outtake from the 'Near Tonight' sessions. Listen to it here.

That's about it for now, but you'll hear from us soon with lot's more show dates, and maybe even the holy grail of rare Toad recordings. Don't forget to add us to your my.mp3.com page and you can listen to Lapdog at work or anywhere else without using up your hard drive space.

See ya soon,
-Joe Lyons
