Today marks the Offical launch of the ATTL fansite. A big thanks goes out to Drew for his graphics. Not everything is up yet, but everything should be running smoothly as soon as possible. More pictures will be up once I have the money (damn capitalist society!). Hope you like it come back soon and come back often. Don't forget to sign the guestbook on your way out!

The message board has a bit of a new look, thanks to Graham's suggestions. So come often and join in on not only music related stuff but also some political discussions, and my sounding board! Should be a lot of fun.
I've also decided to post the show listings here instead of in its own section. I figure shows are news so why have two pages. If I find this gets to be too much I'll change back to the original form.
Upcoming Dates:
Saturday June 22 ~ Confederation Park @ noon?
Friday June 28 ~ Fringe Festival - (2 Daly) @ 9:45pm
Monday July 1 ~ Zaphod Beeblebrox @ 3:45pm
Saturday July 6 ~ Club Saw @ 9:00pm
For more information check out the shows & events page on the official site.
My host has decided to change names, it won't effect the name you type in cause I use a forwarding address, but if you notice some wierdness that's why.

All right, updates! First I added some links to the links page, not all that exciting.
Second I got some pictures back! I've posted the ones taken at the Babylon. Unfortunatly I was much too tired to think about the fact that pictures wouldn't turn out right from where I was standing. I have done some fixing, so now instead of being a very grey they're a tad on the dark side, woops, I'll know better next time. I've also uploaded the pix for the Underground, they turned out a lot better then I thought they would.
I've posted a short review of the show at Confederation park on Saturday on the message board. Click here for the direct link. Please feel free to add your comments. Check out the other features on the board while you're there! Pictures from the show will be up when I can get my film devloped.
Matt and Kier's bios will be up as soon as I get their questionaires back.
Show reminders:
Friday June 28 ~ Fringe Festival - (2 Daly) @ 9:45pm
Monday July 1 ~ Zaphod Beeblebrox @ 3:45pm
Saturday July 6 ~ Club Saw @ 9:00pm
Again, for more information check the shows & events page on the official site.

Kier's bio is now up!
Good news! My mom wants some pix off the roll from the Confederation Park show, so the roll should be put in sometime this week, so the pix will be up sooner then expected. As for the pictures from the Fringe Festival I'm not even done the roll yet, and I'm a bum so it may take some time to get 'em.
But I have posted a quasi-review for the show on the board, I get bored writting the same style all the time so bare with the different things I do. For the direct link click here. Since there is now more discussion on the board I have made an FYI post in the ATTL to be read before you begin posting, just so that things don't get out of hand. Please read it!
Show reminder:
Saturday July 6 ~ Club Saw @ 9:00pm

I got the pictures from the Fringe Festival are now up. They don't look half bad, and there's a pretty good shot of Graham with his new double neck guitar!
In other news my friend Erin has agreed to make cartoon characters out of the band for use with their bios! I figure this will be easier then getting pictures of the guys not on onstage, and not glaring at the camera. Each memeber will be drawn with the instrument he plays. I'm hoping to get those up as soon as I can so keep checking to see how they look!
FYI the message board is no longer ad free so there are popups like crazy, I'm not paying to get rid of 'em so deal with it =8-Þ
Show reminder:
Thursday July 18 2002 ~ Zaphod Beeblebrox @ 9:00pm (opening for the Bitterstrings)

Sorry folks no pix today, the lights and Zaphod's weren't the greatest so I barley took any so I don't know when I'll finnish up the film (I would suspect not much before August first).
As always my review of the last show can be found on the board, click here for the exact link.
Erin's still working on the cartoons (that or my email is more screwed then I thought).
So what did I do as an update? I added a little blurb on the music page (finally!) and I added a few more links.
ATTL will be recording at the end of September for a new a album due out in the fall.
There are currently no shows planned for the summer as Graham is going to Greece to get married (go him!!).

It seems that my counter has died so I got a new one courtsey of the www.thecounter.com. So I've gotta work my way back up from zero, just to make me feel better add about 200 when 'ya look at the counter.
Please make a note that my email has changed, I can still recieve emails at my zzn.com addies but I cannot send out. My new email is rockchicktrista@sympatico.ca so if you have anything to say about the site send it there from now on please.
Erin's still working on the cartoon's she's been busy but she has all the stuff she needs. She's just waiting for the muse to hit. Though she is thinking about incorperating some quirks so if cartoon Graham is holding a pint it wasn't my idea!
I'm hoping to get the pictures from the last Zaphod's show up within the week but I've been working like crazy and have little to show for it.

I got the pix from the Zaphod's developed, there are only seven but it better then nothing.

If the boyz haven't already told you already check out what songs will be on the new album in the music section!!
In cartoon news Erin has decided it would be much easier if she met the guys and then drew the pix based on their personalties. Again if the Troops end up with beer mugs and are smoking like chimneys it was NOT my idea. Anyone else find it odd that I'm getting a blind gurl to draw for me? Hint boys; you gotta play a venue that I can get her into or at least let us stay for soundcheck.
I've also added a few more links...

I've decided to change the layout of the picture gallery. I've been wanting to do it for a while, but I haven't had the time. Check it out and tell me what you think! Everything except the Bright and Orange page has a discription of what's gong on in each pic. Also there are lovely little buttons to navigate the gallery so that you don't have to keep going back to the page with the thumbnails for that show on it. I know that there will be some mistakes and such so please email me when you spot them so I can get 'em fixed.
A very big thank you goes out to Drew for making the buttons, and making sure that the site always looks great! If you have any comments about the graphics or the design of my site send 'em to Drew at drew@radiostuntmen.org, he's the one that deserves the credit. I shudder to think what the site would look like without his help!

If you hadn't already noticed there is a new section called words. It was Graham's idea, which of course came to him AFTER I had just overhauled the picture gallery *sweatdrop.*At the moment the only thing on there is a bunch of Graham's poetry. Which is acutally kinda cool, but you may want to have a dicionary handy =8-). I tried my best to space it as he did, but I probably messed it up :S. I'll add lyrics, and other various writtings as the guyz send 'em to me. So check it out, and tell me what you think, or better yet tell Graham!
Also Matt has finished his bio, all right, all right it was it way my fault that it took so long too, in that I never remebered to print the questionaire when he didn't have a computer. Thanx Matt once you actully got the darn thing it took you next to no time to do ;).
I nearly forgot Graham wanted me to put something on here about how his trial went, before the press release is out. Apperently the trial went well, for Graham anyway, so on Tuesday all charges related to the Feb 10th incident were dropped for lack of evidence. For more info on what happened Feb 10th and its new release go to the press section on the official site.
In general Sandgazing news the www.sandgazing.com site is not in exsistence at the moment, I'm not really sure what's going on with that so if you see the links on here go down you know why.

Not much to this I just added some of Graham's sister, Meg's, artwork on the words section and on the Revistations page. They both needed something and the sketches were a pefect fit.
