I bet ya’ll thought we weren’t serious about this “prairie stuff.” Well, seeing is a believein’!! Folks… wait for it… Missi Pyle of “Smith&Pyle” is married, hitched, and probably gettin’ knocked up as I write. As you’ll see from the photos, it wasn’t your usual weddin’. We all took ridiculously small planes out to some tiny lodge in the middle of nowhere, Montana. It was a comedy show watching Christine, Missi’s “Lady of Honor”, try and squeeze the wedding dress into the overhead compartment; I mean SMALL planes!! Brutus the Bear was Casey’s Best Man and I caught the boquet. Ya’ll can take it from there.

Missi opened her play “Boeing- Boeing” on motha fu**in’ BROADWAY this week so send her all your good psychodoolie voodoo and pray she doesn’t, “Ruin the Show!!” See ya’ll out on the Urban Prairie!

Callin’ down a blessing on us all…

Oh yeah… Here’s a song I wrote for their wedding. Don’t worry, Missi didn’t walk down the aisle to it.

Well… What a week!!! We released our first record, designed a website, made a movie, played our biggest show, yet, and added a few more empty bottles to Hutch’s tequila tree. As usual, our rehearsal and show at Universal Citywalk was a family affair. The tribe keeps growing. New friends we made at the last show came with their friends! Folks came all the way from Redlands to Arizona just to be with us last night, and, well, that just makes getting up in the morning feel worth it! This is the philosophy behind “Urban Prairie.” This is the spirit our record was born of, and what we hope will keep building with you whether in person or “on the net.” We’re so excited to have this site up and running and have to thank our dear friend and web designer, Heather St. Marie, for working to the point of delirium on her laptop in the Hydrovibe tour van to get it up for the big show!! That’s right, that’s how hard us musicians will work to be able to deliver you the rock. Go team go!

So now it’s up to us to see just how far we can take this little experiment. Let’s build our own town out on the new urban prairie (aka the net). Be good, useful, and uplifting to one another. It’s what we’re here for.

This is it… Our first land claim! Our first homestead out on the URBAN PRAIRIE! Nice to meet you neighbor. Sure we’ll see ya’ll around at the general store.

And lest we forget to “Call down a blessing” on us all.

Yours Truly,

Shawnee
