Dear Google user, We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google. We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.
One policy, one Google experience

Easy to work across Google Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.	Tailored for you If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.	Easy to share and collaborate When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.

Protecting your privacy hasn't changed Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).	Got questions? We've got answers. Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)

Notice of Change March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.

A few things to announce.

First off, A thank you to all that purchased or downloaded our most recent album "Under the Overpass of America". We are proud of that record and those songs, recording it ourselves really opened the door to create and record better and more frequent albums. If you don't have "Overpass" yet, what are you waiting for, go buy it.

With that said, we are releasing a new EP January 23rd with a show at POPS. The EP is a remix album, a couple of real cool cats called PERSON-X took 4 "Under the Overpass" tracks and whipped out some very interesting arrangements. These things are from another planet. Those 4 tracks along with 2 more full on Final Drive tracks will make up the CD. We'll release the track info soon as it gets all confirmed, but in the meantime check out the cover art, HERE.

and....

Currently writing a new record, hoping to release in the spring, gonna be different, can't wait.

Taking donations online to put a new engine in our van, check out the link HERE, and get these broke hoes on the road.

New Hoodies possibly for our next show January 23rd as well.

WEDNESDAY JULY 15TH 2009
Played a few shows, worked on back catalog with new drummer, booked a few more shows.......worked on details for a "remix" album (wtf), yes a remix album or ep I guess you'd say. Our friends in PERSON-X blasted out a killer remix of "the Confession" and we just can not help absolutely needing to hear more. So hopefully we can get this thing out before the end of Aug, details will come soon.

BATTLE FOR POINTFEST!
The battle is at POPS JULY 25TH for a spot on POINTFEST in August. This is a must for us, but to win we need EVERYONES help.
Request us on 1057THEPOINT send them emails, text messages whatever, most importantly BUY A TICKET FROM US! AND GO TO THE SHOW! JULY 25th at POPS.
These things are "popularity contests" I hate to say. So, the more of
YOU we have there, the better our chances. And the better the show is
for everyone!

Our Little Rock Trip

2009-05-24T22:42:00.001-07:00

Things could have definitely been worse. I'll just start by saying that. Luck shined on us Thursday afternoon with Chris securing us our new touring van, but things quickly went south from there. Friday was a rush like Friday generally are for us, while we did get a great deal on our new van, it just wasn't road ready. Ball Joints, Brakes, Fuzes, were all very badly needed things and we just didn't have time to fix them before we left for Little Rock. We did our Hot Topic in store at the St.Louis Mills Mall and decided to leave first thing on Saturday morning with the "SAFE" vehicle, my 2004 ford explorer. (which was just serviced with a multi point inspection from Marshall Ford in O'fallon).

A little late hitting the road but we were making great time. And then.....
Transmission seals blows out about 30 minutes south of Sikeston MO. So you ask "why not just add more transmission fluid and keep on going?" well, for some reason the experts at FORD decided NOT to put a transmission dipstick and no way to refill tranny fluid unless you, get this now, drain the fluid from the tank and using a special tool "shoot" the fluid back in. Basically like filling a bottle up only upside down. Yeah great huh! Thats american craftsmen ship at it's best, no way to check how much fluid you lost no way to refill, and NO shops open on Saturday.

So with fingers crossed we headed back home, stopped for steaks at Texas roadhouse and made it home probably grinding all the gears in the tranny.

Fucking rock n roll!
