I was searching around the internet tonight and found these two articles on the Summerfest that Ben performed at this weekend. Both articles mention Ben !!

Ben hope you had a great time at Summerfest and maybe someone took some video of your performance?! What songs did you perform? I will keep an eye out for video of the show - you never know it might show up on You Tube. If anyone attended the show and has video of Ben's performance please share it with us - it would be much appreciated.

I also found this - it is a list of radio airplay on a station in Modesto called KOSO-Fm and Ben's song Wreckage is on their airplay list:

Way to go Ben now we just have to get the rest of the radio stations wherever we live to play Wreckage!!

The summerfest was fun - I watched Pat warm up his band in the morning - he was singing great at 10 in the morning, such a good singer.

Hows things here?

Ben good to see you on the boards!! Hope all is well with you. What time did you get to perform and how long did they let each act perform? I know you have that show in August in NYC - are you going to be touring anywhere else before then? I know I just saw you in April but I would like to see you perform again. There are some places in New Jersey where you could perform an outdoor concert. Here are the links to the places in case you are interested - would love to see you perform outdoors. Wow it is June already and in a few days it will be two years since I saw you the first time - June 21 2006. Here are the pics from that show. I love the first pic of you - the one of Fern, you & I is also one of my favorites.

As for what is going on with me - I am looking for a job and put out my resume this morning so we shall see what happens. Jobs are really scarce these days so the first thing you get may not be what you want but with the way things you cannot afford to turn down work. Kevin is back at work this week and is working nights 3-7pm and is slowly adjusting to being back at work. We are going to see the surgeon on Thursday and we will see if he goes back to work full time. It has been a long summer and it is only June - but things are looking up. Now all I need is a job because I am getting bored staying at home.
What is new with everyone else?

no I didn't get to check them out, we had the 5 hour drive back to LA and they were playing a lot later...

I would have loved to see them though.

I really hate being so far away.
