12.25.05 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

11.29.05 Thank you to everyone who came out last Saturday for the Super Rad Loki Night. We managed to raise some money for School Dist. 51 student art programs, and hopefully they will be able to do a few more shows this year because of it. Please give a big thank you to the guys from Loki, especially Jess Rigg. He put this event together and without him, none of it would've happened. Also, give it up for Crowded Agnes, and D.L.O. for laying it down on stage. Jake

11.20.05 What a GREAT Show!!! MEGA Thanks to the guys from Poster Child Redemption who graciously filled in last minute for Cerulean who couldn't make it due to unforseen circumstances. Autumn's Chase what can I say, you guys are great, a real pleasure to share the stage with and I can see that happening again soon. The turnout was fantastic we had a great time playing the Mesa as usual. Thanks Dave! Apostrophe

09.20.05 Huge Thanks goes out to the boys (Steffen, Junior, Aaron & BJ) from Innocence Lost. You guys rock! Can't wait to do a show with you in GJ. It was a pleasure to share the stage at your CD Release party on the 17th we all had a great time. Also cudos to Gabriel & Heroes Hero for starting out such a great night you all really got the crowd all riled up.Apostrophe

09.08.05 NEW VIDEO CLIP!!!

"We at The Daily Sentinel are total video amateurs, but we're learning to have fun with our new camcorder. One of our first experiments: the Grotto at Grande River Vineyards. We taped the whole show, excerpted part of "No One But Me", added some commentary by the ever-patient Mr. Ruybal and put it online. Again, it's amateurish, but I think it's also fun. Check it out at www.gjsentinel.com, then click on the "Grand Valley Tracks 2" link at the top to go to the page with the video. " Todd Powell

09.04.05 If you missed the show on Saturday, 08.27.05 you missed a great show!!!

We had a brilliant show last night. Everything felt really right. So much, that I felt as if I were swimming and dreaming at the same time on stage last night. Shows like that are what keep me coming back to rehearsal. Cheers to the band, as it is very well deserved. I am so lucky to be playing with you all. Jake
