thanks for the feedback on the new site, folks! i am considering getting rid of the bright white background for TTJ, but will experiment a bit first unti l find something that really feels right. i've fixed things that y'all have noted/requested.

fyi, i have confirmation that the italy show is indeed on the 5th and passed on the url posted to joe's tour agency to look into fixing. i did just get an update of dates today so i'm going to load any changes/new shows shortly.

sleep walk is the only tune with fripp on it on the new album, and man is it a beautiful textured performance.

rumor mill says joe will be singing something other than big bad moon and that matt adds some sweet harmonies. at least that's the way it's sounding in rehearsal. you never know how things change on the road, but either way, joe's fans are in for a treat with this tour!

hey everyone-- check out the latest news item about updating your member profile to include what instrument you play and when you started playing.

howdy everyone-- just wanted to let you know that i just pushed up a new version of the chat that has some improved features.

if you haven't checked in a week or so, there's now an option to have a bigger screen area if you wish.

i believe i've also fixed the problem where text would disappear or the special people (me, joe, etc)'s colors would stop showing up.

the user-list window is now completely redone in a more standardized way. click on the arrow next to the "N users" to display the user list panel. you can then click on any user listed to display information about them which includes pulling information from their member profile (as in doing a Member Lookup through the web site).

if you want people to see your info, make sure that public checkbox is set in your preferences (and uncheck it if you don't want to share that info).

flash 7 is now required (instead of flash 6) and i've put a version check to let you know if you need to upgrade.
