I??™m not sure if you all have noticed yet, but we moved to Tampa, Florida. Actually, Vinnie and I are still up in Gainesville, but everyone else is down in the land of Buccaneers. We??™ve also hired some new people that I??™d like to introduce you to. Johnny Minardi is handling our retail promotions for us, making sure our CDs are in stores and in listening stations so you can get your grubby mitts on them. Melissa is running the webstore and making sure our bands have t-shirts at their shows. You can read more about Johnny and Melissa in the ???about??? section of fueledbyramen.com. They are kind of ???weird??? and ???don??™t shower too often??? and ???don??™t have many friends??? so if you want make them feel a little more loved, I??™m sure they wouldn??™t mind having a few more myspace friends.
