MERCH: from the Connextion
http://www.theconnextion.com/chuckprophet/chuckprophet_index.cfm?ArtistID=174
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Chuck,

Your Vinyl should be with Connextion today so you can list it in the next mailout. There are a couple boxes. With shipping and costs they were roughly $12.50 each so I would charge around $17.50 as they are nice quality vinyl and embossed covers with heavy duty in sleeves.

--Chris Metzler

PS: "Dreaming Waylon's Dreams" in now back in stock, as well as new American Apparel T-Shirts designed by Lettie Jane Rennencamp

No, Alejandro didn't climb out of the pit ala Courtney Cox, the kid was invited.
I would've been happy to show Bruce the harmony, (hell, if I can do it!) but he's the boss, it's his party and I was in Sweden or some such at the time. It's probably better I wasn't there, people like Bruce are always badgering me for career advice. Seriousness aside, this is really something else. A real grinfest.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8s-chAgIPU

WARTS AND ALL: The Films of Danny Plotnick now available at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Warts-All-Films-Danny-Plotnick/dp/B000YQT5JW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of San Francisco’s most treasured freaks, and a good friend, Danny has been championing Super 8 film for years. "Fat City Death Sled", "I Socky", and "Sugarbutts" just to name a few are among his eighteen lost masterpieces finally available on DVD. Up until now it’s been very difficult to see Danny’s films. In fact, in the 80s, Plotnick took to the road, projector and films in trunk, screening in bars, warehouses, and once even tacked a sheet up to the wall in some punker’s garage in Chico while his parents were out town.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOULD YOU LOVE ME Video by Danny Plotnick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wKH0FyR91M
Here’s the Danny Plotnick short film for "Would You Love Me" off Soap and Water in case you missed it. We’ve got a lot of affection for Anna Nicole Smith. So what if she used a fake name to get methadone? Everyone steals shrimp and everyone lies about it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
COSTA RICAN NECTAR: http://www.brink.com/food/3690
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rock and Roll is one thing, surfing another, but even in the land of twenty dollar eight balls, nothing compares to food. Check it out here: http://www.brink.com/food/3690

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOAP AND WATER TOUR PROGRAM; 18 page hand made program
http://www.theconnextion.com/index.cfm?ArtistID=174&NoFrame=Yes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This 18 page program lovingly created by Rob Collison includes all the lyrics/credits for Soap and Water (for the cheap bastards who downloaded the album for free). Also biographies of each band member and a guided tour by Chuck of the inspiration for each song. The only thing missing is a photo of Chuck and the band posing in front of their private jet for the cover. We think you’ll enjoy it anyway.

As always, if you want to un-subscribe, simply reply to this list with "Chucky sucks" in the subject line.

Teeth: SINK YOUR TEETH INTO TEETH

We seriously doubt that Hilary Swank's latest, the romantic comedy "P.S. I Love You" is on anyone's bucket list, but for those who sat through the unforgivably dull film, that was Chuck's "No Other Love" featured loud and proud. On the other hand, there isn't anything dull about the film "Teeth."

Film Threat invites you and a guest to advance screenings of Teeth. To attend in West LA Jan 17, RSVP here:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the course of the last year, Alejandro Escovedo and I wrote an albums worth of material. A concept album emerged chronicling a life in music through love, loss, life, death and the promise of Rock and Roll deliverance. We recorded Al's new opus in Lexington KY with Tony Visconti (T Rex, Bowie etc.) producing. The story with pic's here: http://www.brink.com/travel/3454

Soap and Water Tour Program. $5.00 NOW AVAILABLE FROM THE CONNEXTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Program includes all the lyrics/credits for Soap and Water (for the cheap ass bastards who downloaded the album for free). Also includes biographies of each band member and a guided tour by Chuck of the inspiration for each song. Hand made by R. Collision, this unique 18 page booklet was lovingly created with scissors, glue, a deep stash of ephemera and (we suspect) serious medication. We were unable to get photo of Chuck and the band posing in front of their private jet for the cover image but we think you'll enjoy it either way. $5.00

New DNA evidence introduced in West Memphis Three case

Imagine how delighted we were to learn that Mark Byers purchased a "Free the West Memphis Three" T Shirt for his Good Morning America appearance, where among other things, he compares himself to Benedict Arnold. Mark Byers found it in his heart to forgive, let's pray the state of Arkansas sucks it up soon. The overwhelming scientific evidence clearly shows a grave miscarriage of justice that must be corrected. http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3808760

Once upon a time there was a social networking site called MySpace. Everyone was on it. Everyone loved it. It was the place to be. Then came the pedophiles. Then came the spam... Personally, I'm a Brink man (http://www.brink.com) But check it, MySpace lives! Read Natalie Maines blog on the WM3.

For those who just tuned in. The West Memphis Three were condemned by their poverty, incompetent defense, satanic panic, and a rush to judgment. Learn more at this excellent comprehensive site: http://www.wm3.org
