It’s been a fun week. Root canals, getting up early, work, all of that fun stuff.

No, actually it hasn’t been too bad. Yesterday, I found out that our Warped Tour show is going to be held at The Coors Amphitheater in San Diego(7/6/04)! It holds 20,000 people! I’m sure we will probably be on a side stage rather than the ultimate main stage of all time, but some of the bands that will play that day along with Windsor are NOFX and Bad Religion! This will definitely be the biggest show I’ve ever played so I hope you all get a chance to come out in July and join us for a great rock show.

I ran into my friend Tim (lead singer of the band Sugarcult) and it was great to catch up with him and his adventures. Their band is blowing up right now with a new album out in April so be sure to pick up a copy if you’re into great punk-pop-rock stuff. It’s called Palm Trees and Power Lines. This will be one of the best albums out this year for that genre. He gave me a couple of free tickets and my cousin and I went to San Luis Obisbo to watch them rock in front of about 5000 college/highschool kids. Along with Sugarcult were MXPX, Simple Plan, and Billy Talent.

Well, I am also glad to say that we have our new video up at windsormusic.net so check it out and drop me a line when you get a chance. It will make you smile.

Check back with yalls soon,

Well, I am totally broke right now but isn’t Valentine’s Day worth it?

Kristen and I had an awesome 3-day weekend in Catalina. We ate lobster and steak- drank margaritas, rum & cokes, and bloody Maries– read books on the beach, and played mini golf. I totally broke my record on the Catalina golf course! I know my brother will never believe me but I shot a 47! (Kristen was my witness)I know most of you don’t really care for the number because how could you know… so I’ll give you the scoop. My family has been playing the Catalina mini-course for over 20 years and the old record is 49. I shattered the record with a 47. That should keep me happy for the next month or so.

Anyways, thanks for all of your e-mails about the new music, we should have our new video available on the site any day now,

3X9=28?

A riddle for you to ponder.

Three guys go to get a hotel room.

The clerk behind the desk says the room is $30 for the night so each guy pays $10 each and they head up to the room. The hotel manager tells the clerk that the room was only $25. The clerk gives the bell boy $5 to give back to the men in the room. On the way to the room the bell boy pockets $2 for himself and gives back $1 to each guy. Now each guy has paid $9 plus the $2 that the bus boy pocketed is $29. The three guys originally paid $30 so where did the extra dollar go?

Hello all,

I just found out that Rick Joseph, Windsor’s music lawyer, spoke with Capitol about Windsor and they should be checking our new CD out soon so cross your fingers for us. Also, if anyone who reads this has a connection with a label that they think would fit Windsor’s style please let me know. The music has been officially approved to be shopped, and we are passing demos around to any labels that are interested in signing Alternative Rock Bands.

Thanks for all of the wonderful e-mails and support regarding the new music. It is always nice to be appreciated and on behalf of the band I thank you. We are also looking to book some warm up shows before the WARP Tour so if there is a Club, Cool Party, or Shin-dig that would fit Windsor’s profile let us know.

Remember to check out windsormusic.net to hear two new songs if you haven’t already and get ready for WARP Tour in July. Drop me a line off the website and tell me what you think of the site and the songs,

Thanks,

Willie the Kid
