We had a great year in 2003 supporting our first demo Demonstration and
enjoying our beloved San Diego roots while beginning the journey of spreading
the message of our music to the surrounding areas. We want to thank all of
you who supported us through the year. We have made many new friends and met
a lot of cool people. We look forward to a productive 2004.
We hope everyone had a great holiday season and are
enjoying the new year. Thanks for being you.
