- Bye, HumVee! The pleasure was mine!
Daps: And as for UK touring, I honestly don't know. I hope so!
Bye, everybody! And yes, the music biz is evil...but hopefully the new label we're talking to won't be. hehehehe
See a bunch of you at the PBP, I hope! Bye!

- Oops! I didn't realize what time it was...gotta go in a sec!
Daps: Well, thank you so much! =)
Old Man Fan: Hey! I'll be at the PBP, so I hope to see you there. We're not performing right now (still working on the new album and band-business-deals and stuff), but I am in a musical right now that rehearses 6 days a week... I'm hoping to make it to the Bronzer Breakfast, as well, so maybe I'll see you there?
Ansky47 Hey! That's great to hear! I'm so glad you like it. =)
Dust'Em: Yep, I'll be there again...I don't know why people had such a hard time finding me last year! Maybe I'll hang out by our VC table more and dance less... hehehe Anyway, hope to see you there!
Corvus: Oh, thank you...I hope so too. *sigh*

- faithx5 If and when this deal comes through, we do intend to tour, so the answer is yes, that is a definite possibility! =)

- Again, to be clear: we have chosen to not sign any distribution deals at this time, but thank you for the good wishes, anyway! (Let's put them towards this label deal we're working on, intead, OK?) ;-)

- nosce_teipsum Well, we've had distribution in the past, and without going into any detail, we've gotten MAJORLY screwed a couple of times, (As in, we're owed thousands of dollars and we just can't get any justice), so we're happy just selling our stuff ourselves for now. (FYI, Blockbuster is EVIL!)
HumVee: As alluded to in my above post, we have had distribution in the past, but it just hasn't worked out. (Both "Warm" and "The Buffy EP" were available in stores.) Our two most recent releases, "Moody Groove Music" and "Velvet Chain Live at the Temple Bar" were both released exclusively over the internet, from our own site. If your debit card has a visa symbol on it or whatever, that'll work just fine! If not, and you'd still like to order, we accept international money orders, as well. (Just click on "mail order" on our store ordering page.)

- fiathx5: Yep, that's right. You're not making it up. We have label interest, but it's all still nebulous, so I can't gie you a precise release date. If I had to guess, I'd say sometime this summer. =)

- DeAn: Oooooh! I love choclately goodness! And I just love gifts, period. hehehehe So, if you feel like bringing me something, I will be happy to accept! ;-) As for the album, we're still negotiating with this new label that wants to release it, so that's why it's been on hold for a bit. I promise we'll let you all know as soon as it comes out!

- HumVee: We have plenty of albums in stock; we just don't have distribution! So, we sell everything ourselves. Just go to our secure site, www.velvetchain.com and order what you like from there. We have 4 albums for sale there, besides various special releases, like "Velvet Chain Greatest Hits" _ which is a hilarious name, but we really just mean our most popular songs - which is a great way to get started on the band, if you don't have any of our records yet. =) We send to the UK all the time. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Amercian Express. Hope that helps!

- Oh! I wanted to tell you guys: I just found out on Friday that I am going to be a contestant on Jeopardy! I took the test back in August, (I passed), and they finally called me on Friday to come down and do the show. I am so freaked out! I have no idea how I'm going to do, and I am not into studying, but I guess I should at least play some Trivial Pursuit games or something to try and get on the ball. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys so you could send GOOD VIBES my way on March 5th, when I'll be taping the show. EEK!!!

- roja Well, congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself. And I'm sorry you're broke, but believe me when I tell you I can relate. =)
tiggy Yep! Danny is such a doll. I've only met Adam a couple of times and Tom just once, but they seem nice, too. =)

- Princess of Darkness: Where is that? If it's not too far, I might be able to stop by on my way home from rehearsal that night. =) (But it would be pretty late...)

- tiggy: Cool! Yeah, I quite enjoy cutting a rug. =)
Nikka: LOL... I remember wearing the gold halter...and I kinda remember that whole twin-thing... But I thought I was wearing black leather pants? Well, if we're twins again, we'll just have to take a picture! =)
roja Now, now... Just do well on your test! That's the important thing. Priorities, you know? ;-) Are you a med student?
^ - Erika Amato says:
(Mon Feb 10 20:25:16 2003)
- Princess of Darkness: Yes, I am very much looking forward to it! I'll be coming over straight from rehearsal for another musical I'm in, but I'll get there as early as I can. =) And yes, I love karaoke, actually... hehehehe
Watcher X: *blush* You're too kind!

- Kessie: Hey! Glad to hear you're doing good, and I am well, as well, thanks. =) I will be at the PBP with bells on (well, maybe not literally...I still haven't decided on what to wear, actually), so I'll (hopefully) see you there!
