Hey everyone! I hope you are having an awesome fall. We've been enjoying a few months off. Joe's been studying physics. I've been going to Springsteen shows and studying Pac-man Championship Edition on Xbox360. It's been a good semester! Now we're starting to gear up for our favorite time of year: the holidays!

 

If all goes according to plan, we will be having a pair of Yule Balls this year in the Boston area. They will be on December 8th and 9th. Hopefully we'll be able to announce the locations and line-ups very soon. Stay tuned.

 

Also, we are very excited to announce that we are a part of Jingle Spells. This is a holiday wizard rock CD that was put together by the fine folks at the Leaky Cauldron. They are donating ALL proceeds from the sale of this CD to Book Aid International. The Leaky Cauldron has already raised over $30,000 for Book Aid International and we think that we can double that with sales of this CD.

 

This CD features 14 new and exclusive songs from an army of wizard rockers. We contributed a song we wrote last year called "Xmas Rulez, Voldemort Droolz." I've heard the entire CD and I can tell you that it's probably the best wizard rock compilation out there, holiday-themed or otherwise.

 

These CDs are available for pre-order now on Leaky's website. They are only being offered for sale through December 10th, so go order it now! DO IT!

 

Speaking of wizard rock, there are only about 100 subsciptions left in the Wizard Rock CD of the Month Club 2007. We just released a new 14-song Enchanted Ceiling CD that's available exclusively through the EP club. The EP is pretty great and so are the other albums that have been released so far this year. And all proceeds from subscriptions go to First Book. If you subscribe now, you'll be sent the first 10 (ten!) CDs from 2007 at the end of November! Get your wizard rock fix for a whole year, all at once!

 

Get pumped!
