January 2005

Hey Everyone!!! Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!
We hope everyone has had a festive and safe holiday.
It's been quite here in EFO land. After a very busy fall, we took some time off for the holidays. Julie and Robbie spent time at home with the kids. Mike traveled abroad, and I hooked up with a broad' I'm just kidding, sorry about that. I went down to NC to spend some time with my mother.
We wrapped up the year with a fantastic trip out west. San Diego to Seattle in 7 days! It was unseasonably cold out there, which is a bummer when you're looking forward to getting away from bad weather in the east. All in all, it was a great time and we always get to see lots of friends out there. It still amazes me how many people have transplanted from the NoVa area to all parts of the country! Thanks for remembering us and coming out to the shows!
After the west coast, we had two easy shows right here in VA.! We rarely play in our own state anymore. The very last gig was in Williamsburg, Va. I'm sure all of you know about Colonial Williamsburg. You know; Forts, Fife and drums and three pointed hats. It's very authentic and it's a great place to visit during Christmas. I had a great time visiting and touring with our friends Dave and Amy, who were kind enough to show us around.
Well, now that the holidays are over, it's back to touring. We'll be kicking off the new year with shows in the Midwest. Check out the website for details. We'll also be doing a three night stint at our home town club, the Birchmere. We're excited to get out and play for you, so don't forget to see us when we hit your town!
Thanks for taking the time to listen to me ramble.
Take care and be safe!
Thanks!
Eddie and the gang
