YES!! I am officially a father. My wife gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Maggie Elizabeth Park. She will only listen to punk and hopefully will be playing the drums by the 6 month mark. Again, I can't say how nice it is to get letters from Asian Man Records supporters. The Asian Man contingency is special....don't you think? At least that's what I'd like to think. Most people who follow Asian Man are nice folks who like ice cream and burritos. We smile and most likely are nerds. Yes, that's Asian Man.

Holy moly, can you believe Xmas is a month away? Can this be true? The orders are starting to pile up and thankfully I love mailorder, so it's a fun time for everyone. I should do some kind of speciall deal for newsletter folks. Hmmm... What can I do? How about.... mmm... Well, why don't you write me and ask me what would be an insane deal? I'll pick a couple good ones and put them up write away.

Let's end this with Asian Man Trivia:
1.Holy moly, there were so many bands formed after the break up of SLAPSTICK. Please name the bands and the members of Slapstick that were in these bands?
2.What member of MU330 is in the band BAGHEERA?
3.Name the original drummer for the Alkaline Trio?
4.The Lawrence Arms got their name from who, what, where?
5.And finally...What was the 100th release by Asian Man Records?
I should give a prize eh? Well, how about I just smile big and say thanks for the write answers. Be well.
Peace,
Mike Park
