Glassware is in. All backorders have been shipped.
I caught up on all email (woo woo).
Next task for the Children of Acid site is to try to do something to benefit others.
So I am 'attempting' to work on some sort of way to raise money for some charity.
Not sure what charity will be, nor do I know how to raise the money, but I feel it's something we (The Children) should do. Leave feedback if you have an idea.
I guess that is all for now. I've been busy lately and out of touch with the world.

Update: I'm still attempting to get caught up on 6 days worth of emails.
I'm back from vacation, wheee
I've updated the Party Details, which I hope will answer a lot of questions.
Freakazoidz comes out today, woo woo! Don't forget to request 'Glamour Girl' from your local radio station.

Don't forget that Freakazoidz comes out on Tuesday.
Radio stations are supposed to have the Praga Khan single of 'Glamour Girl', so call them up and request it. Don't take no for an answer.
Will have more Party Details this week (hotel,motel info, club details etc). For those who have an account, please login to the site and tell us if you are coming. By default everyone is set to 'No' and if you don't have an account, feel free to create one.
Doctor has to run more tests to determine what is wrong with my brain..

Some of you may be aware and some may not be aware of my current medical condition (Amnesia).
Though it is not serious it is still one of the most frustrating and most annoying things I've had to deal with in my life.
I was hoping over time it would just go away but sadly, everyday I wake up and realize it has not.
It's not like I don't know who I am, it's just affects the way I think, and act etc..
Examples...
Forgetting something that someone told me 2 minutes ago.
Forgetting how to do something that I use to do daily.
Forgetting how to pronounce words and/or spell them.
The though process is not as smooth as it use to be (almost like being drunk and doing algebra).
Going someplace (grocery store) and forgetting why you are there.
Calling someone up on the phone and not understanding why you even called in the first place.
Going to the post office to mail out shirts and walking home and trying to remember if you just went to the post office or if you still have to go.
I do assure you the orders are going out etc (I got a system for that)
This isn't easy for me, I hope things will be better soon, who knows it could be anything... Brain Tumor, Too many years of Lords of Acid music 'Blowing Up Your(My) Mind' (wonder if I can sue *smirk*), or old age (eeks).

Update: I went ahead and create a page for the people who are going.
Possibly to help those who are going to help others out who may not be able to get a way there etc.
Here.
Correction: You only have to be 18 to get into the club (previously it was stated you had to be 21).
Merchandise page has yet AGAIN been updated. This should be the last time. It is now broken down into categories etc and has a nice MySQL backend. I tested every item and all seems to be correct. Hopefully this weekend I will get a few pictures of the guys and gals in their Children of Acid shirt to post instead of the coathanger shirt photos.
Donation page has been updated and modified to make life easier. We now have a list of 'gifts' that are available for those who donate $25.00
Party Time! That's right! We're doin' it again. Another party in Tennesse. I have loads of promo stuff to giveaway.
The party is now set for June 22nd, 2002. Details are here.

On Thursday May 23th, 9 PM Belgian time (3 PM EST) Studio Brussels will REPLAY the concert from last week, over the internet. So if you missed it, here is your chance.
Just go to http://www.stubru.be, Click on 'stubrupuntuit' (meaning Live), Click on 'Praga Khan' (He's that guy).
Good News! Coffee Mugs are in. So it is safe to say they are shipping as well. Though those of you who ordered sets, I cannot ship them till the rest of the items arrive (hopefully Monday).
UPS stood me up. So screw them. FedEx was able to set me up no problem.
Shipping information will arrive Tuesday.
FedEx includes $100 automatic insurance and tracking. We won't have to worry about broken glassware.

Still working on 'Cover Magazine' . It starting to look more and more like a reality. The only killer is the damn shipping and the cost of the magazine and I mean it is EXPENSIVE. I can honestly say we're going to get them in, but it could take till early to mid June to get them in. Going to examine the possibility of getting them shipped via boat.
Added a few more pictures to the Gallery.
I spoke to the person who does the shirts for me..
He said white shirts should not be a problem to do.
But it will be a few weeks till I can even do an order of shirts.
IF you TRUELY want one reallllllly bad, email and I will see about order a small shipment of them (like 20 or 40).
I am STRONGLY considering moving all the merchandise shipping over to UPS. They offer by default... $100 insurance on all packages and Tracking etc. These services the post office charges extra for, requires more forms to be filled out etc. The UPS will also pick up packages daily etc which means no running to the post office etc. I really am starting to hate the post office all around. I could prepay for the postage but they still require the packages to go across the front counter, which means even though they are paid for, I have to still wait in line. With UPS they come here and pick them up daily. I do not know if UPS is more expensive, but I would not think so. Afterall USPS charges $3.95 for the item, another like $.40 for the delivery confirmation and another $.50 for insurance on the package. That is almost $5.00, whereas UPS it's included and I really don't think these packages are going to be that expensive. But for the fans it's nice to be able to like instantly track a package and know where it's at, if it gets lost it has tracking info and insurance :)
That is my senseless babble.

Update 3 - Penthouses are IN and shipping. (I should of gone to bed hours ago)
Update 2 - Another merchandise update. The black shotglasses I ordered were 'special'.
The factory is out of stock. So shot glasses are now Clear with Black Logo/Text.
Update - After repeated requests. I have setup the merchandise section to allow other payment methods besides PayPal. Though PayPal DOES allow you to use your credit card to purchase things, some were not comfortable with this. Therefore, I use another service to handle the credit cards. The fees are horrid, but if it makes people happy, then so be it.
Shirts are doing pretty darn good. As usual (god it always seems to happen), I am almost out of Large (7), XLarge (6), XXLarge (2) and XXXLarge (3). I have removed my inventory tracking system cause of the different method I am using with PayPal. I will however try to keep up on this.
Gallery section of Children of Acid is done. I have uploaded 6 never before seen photos from past tours. I hope to continue doing so off and on (maybe once a week). This is an opportunity for fans to post photos they have snapped at the shows etc.
Glassware and copies of Penthouse should be arriving this week. Still working on trying to get Cover Magazine in (that magazine with nude Deb pics).
Freakazoidz postcards came in today, so I will be handing those out with all new orders that come in.
Some of you may of heard me talk about 'forgetting' things lately.
I talked to the local pharmacist today and it turns out there is a RARE side effect of the meds that can cause amnesia..
Which explains a lot of things. So I was advised to see a doctor, but they can't see me for 2 weeks.

Low Bandwidth -
High Bandwidth
Webpage is Here.
MSN.be and Studio Brussel
Merchandise page is all updated. Within the next 2 weeks we'll have a lot of new merch coming in and they are all orderable right now. Full color 24 * 36 inch posters are one of the next few items coming up. Working on getting the Deb Nude mags... But getting a lot of this stuff will not be possible if the demand is not there. We are out of the bonus cds (which I announced last week) but still have lots of other promo stuff we're giving out. Special thanks to Juanita who folded all the shirts.
P.S. There is 1 4XL shirt in stock if anyone wants to purchase it.

Well Spider-Man the movie is out, woo woo. Have to know me to understand I have most of the Spider-Man series of comics (Amazing, Web, Spectacular etc).
Well for some of you who saw it, I am sure you also heard the Lords of Acid tune 'Take Control' (Thanks Mike) in the preview of the movie 'Triple X'.
God I love the adrenaline flow that pumps through the veins when you hear the Lords of Acid on the full screen in full Digital Theatre Surround Sound.
With the flow of emails coming in about the magazine Deb appeared in nude and of course the old Penthouse,
I have been working on trying to get both of them in stock.
I managed to get the Penthouses ordered and they should arrive by the 13th. Working on getting the Cover Magazine issue in as well. The problem with getting them is A. The price is going to be HIGH. B. Getting them through customs (I'm sure they'll have a hayday with them. C. The cost of shipping of the magazines to this country. But I promise I will work on it.
Penthouse Feb 2001 has been added to the merchandise page.
Since Miss 9 knocked over a can of soda on my laptop and now my keys all stick.
I will be offline for awhile while I soak this keyboard in alcohol.
Shirts have been shipped to ME. So hopefully they arrive early this week.
