R.I.P. Jordan Cameron Petrie

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

We laughed together.
We partied together.
We listened together.
We loved the same people.
I will miss
Your sharp wit.
Your acceptance.
Your friendship.


Most of all, I will miss all the things that we will never have the chance to do.


Happy journeys, my friend.


WARNING! A Message from Psyonix

After the death of our beloved Jordan, we're all aware that there is currently some bad heroin (laced with fentanyl) going around UT, but this document (below) also mentions cocaine as potentially being cut with fentanyl as well...I heard about the deaths in the eastern US related to fentanyl-cut heroin a while ago, and it's obviously migrated to UT...fentanyl-cut cocaine may already be in UT or arriving soon...

I mention this simply to ask all of you to spread the word...if you have friends who use, warn them...even if you don't have friends who use, mention it...you never know who may overhear you and get the information they needed to avoid a tragic end such as Jordan's...

Ideally we wouldn't need to have to warn people, cuz they wouldn't be using...but reality says there ARE users, so please get this information out...

New bass player

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Got a call from the singer/guitar player. We’ve been playing tons of gigs with a fill in bass player since our regular player moved to Portland. We’ve been frustrated with the fill in as he doesn’t know more than half the tunes we play. And he doesn’t seem to know any of the “cool” half either.

So the call was a voicemail letting me know we have a new bass player and “she’s cute.” Hmm… Interesting.

The Young Punx have posted the Phunk Investigation remix of "Dance With Someone Else", and it's great! It has a funky bassline, a tight house groove, and classic 80's electro chords. Guaranteed to light up the dance floor!
