Hey, I just wanted all of you to know that I did an informative speech for Honors English on music as a lifestyle and how music connects people that might not have anything else in common. I printed out some pictures from the tour and explained the family type atmosphere and how everyone was accepted. Anyway, I got a 94% (which is an A according to our grading system) on the speech. So, yes! OFC rocks!

Well there you have it!
The only way I could get a 94 when I was in school was to get a 42 and a 52.

Al,
Now that the Slothead event and the Tour are over may I suggest the next event.

OFC Survivor!

Guitars instead of spears and we could do the challenge courses by working at the Factory making LX's! Teamwork, competition and exposure of irritating character flaws to millions of people! It's all there!

Kaki King proves this Ovation philosophy is not dominated by the dreaded DWEMS (Dead White European Males). :D

Good job, Lisa. Were you able to use pictures of the llamas? Pictures of animals always go over well.

No, I didn't use pictures of the llamas. I didn't really feel like explaining. And even if I would've, I doubt it that it would've made since to them. Brad, yeah, there were pics of you and Brian in there and one of Cliff and Paul...and one of Johnny and one of me and Johnny's guitar. Yeah.....But it was good stuff-showing how music connects us. Isn't it the truth though?

"Lisa you should come on the boards more often so I'm not stuck alone with these old geezers" (StephenP).....

For your information, those "old geezers" as you called them are some of the coolest guys ever. And I had the time of my life jamming with them. I'd be on more often if I wasn't so busy with marching band. As it is, I normally only have time to get on in study hall.

When I was in college Speech class, we had to make an emotive speech. I figured that if I could get the class to laugh, that would qualify as emotion. I did an Unknown Comic routine making jokes about members of the class, and had my roommate (with paper bag over his head as well) play the snare drum after every joke. In the middle of my presentation, the teacher screamed "That wasn't the assignment!" The class loved it, though.

I get my work done. I just also have some free time. We have block scheduling, so it's an hour and 20 minute study hall.
And, all of you whow weren't on the tour, how could you be cool if you didn't show up at the tour to meet me and jam with me? (Just kidding.) Oh well, your loss, I guess. It was a blast! Can't wait for next year!
