TBB Gig Update:
THE BIG BAND
will be playing our
FIRST college house party!!! :-)
Sat. 4/17 @ UofM Ann Arbor
Because this is not a public venue, we ask that you call us directly for more information if you're interested in attending this very special event. We invite all friends of TBB to attend, but don't want to take advantage of the nice people who have invited us to play their party. Oh... don't bring little kids, there will be beer and stuff. For more info, please call our manager:
Adam Hertz 248-661-2668

Hey kids, Ryan here. All is well in the land of The Big Band. Our next big project is to begin merchandising. We aren't doing this for the money (though money can be fun), but because we think it'd be cool as shit to have a t-shirt with Joji on it or something. Our only hope is that we don't LOSE to much money on this, so we've created a little survey on our web page to help us determine what kind of stuff you, our loyal fans, would be interested in owning. In this way, we hope to order products that you will enjoy and be proud to own. If you have any suggestions that aren't listed on the survey page, please e-mail them to us and we'll gladly take them in to consideration. We hope to have these products available before our summer shows. Visit us at:

and give us your input :-)
Alright, enough of that. Something amazing happened to Jeffrey and myself while we were in a drunken stupor on South Padre Island this past week. We actually met the REAL Joji... I know... it's crazy... but it's true.. he was there... and he talked! To share with you a piece of our vacation, I've written this poem (soon to be a song?):

Potion
Once while walking on the beach
I came across a ragged couch.
On it lay a bearded man,
And by his side a liquid pouch.

He took a swig and smiled,
Then he offered me a sip.
I held the jug in wonder
and I raised it.. to my lip.

Down my throat did trickle this
Strange sample of the Ocean.
I've never drunk a Drink
quite as potent as this Potion.

The floor that held my feet afloat,
It lost touch with my SHOES.
I suddenly felt Nothing butv the Buzzing of this booze.

let's get on with the show,
Ryan

IT'S TIME FOR.......ASK JOJI!!!! (featuring REAL letters!) Jojo,
I was wondering what kind of bird you are? Like a parrot or a doodle bird or what? Are you related to big bird in any way. By the by I was thinking of these questions while sitting in my bathtub while balancing my electric razor on my nose. Is their anything I can do to correct this problem? I would also like to subscribe.
Sincerly,
The Man With The Funny Hat

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner, and I am not that man. I am Joji, the blackhawk bird. To solve your problem, try taking showers instead of baths, or switch to an electric razor. -Joji

Joji,
I have been at a couple of your concerts and really enjoyed it. I have never enjoyed going to hear bands. But The Big Band changed that. Since the first time I saw your band, I have loved it. When I was surfing your web page, I notice that you e-mail joji's journal out. I would like to subscribe to it, so I know when and where all of your concerts are. Thanks,
Liz

YAY!!!! PEOPLE LIKE US! :-) Thanks for coming out to hear us Liz, I will gladly add you to our mailing list, and I hope you can make it out to see us again sometime soon. -Joji

Dear Joji,
I have a couple of questions for you:
1. How do birds give blowjobs?
2. May I have a blowjob?
3. (see question 2)
Thanks for your time!

Awaiting my blowjob(s),
Stevie Spice

Very carefully, no, and.... hmmm.... no. -Joji
