Hot Topic rocks w/Chem.D
a huge THANK YOU to Ron Morrison and all the staff at the Newington and Salem Hot Topic locations for being so kind to host us for a pair on in-store performances this past friday (7/9). We had a blast doing those performances, and hopefully we made some new fans in the process. And Mike was able to buy some fake vampire fangs in the process, now he can see Eclipse in style

Listen to CH.D interview next Monday 7/19 on Zaldor.com
Mike will be appearing live on Les Zaldor's popular Detroit podcast radio show next monday the 19th at 8pm sharp (E.T). tune in to www.zaldor.com to hear it. Knowing Mike and his wiry sense of humor, this should be interesting.
