01/25/02- Jeremy just posted a message on the Clumsy Congress. Go to my new Posts section to read it. Warning: it's more than a little random, you'll see what I mean, perhaps he was not sober? I don't know : )

12/26/01- Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year, etc.! Jeremy just posted this message on the CC:

"Merry Christmas everyone! And Happy Kwanza! And all different holidays!
This has been a pretty wacky year, changes of many kinds have happened. I'm sure you all have a million questions about this recent situation. All I can say is that these things happen, and it was for the best. We are making the most important record of our career thus far. I can speak for the others by saying we have not been moved this much by music and inspiration ever, in all the years past. We feel this is a very special record, a big step in the growth of our band.
The new environment (Bob, writing in Maui), has sparked a new lifeblood in the band. We are now able to look to the past and finally learn from it. We remembered that we are first and foremost, a rock band. Simple as that. So now we shall rock. These tracks are making us want to play live forever.
So on with the good times. Don't worry about us. we're all grown-ups (ALMOST). All we can do is move on with this flood of inspiration, and hope all of you enjoy what we come up with. We will see all of you soon. And yes I will be around. I've always been around. I just like to play under the radar sometimes.
Your pal, Jeremy "I saw a PS2 in the background of that Bin Laden tape" Taggart
P.S. Please have the jolliest New Year, but don't get too loaded. And Buy "Word Of Mouf" By Ludacris, It's a tad harsh, but he works the mic almost as good as Big Boi from Outkast."

12/19/01- Finally some good news to report: Oli Goldsmith and OLP took home 3 MMVA awards for best post-production, best director (Oli), and best video (all 3 were for "In Repair"). On another note, Mike finally posted his thoughts on the cc which I have put into my Aricles section (I don't know why I put it there but I thought it would be important to save it). His words may clear up some misconceptions about his split with the band.
12/13/01- I cannot tell all of you how much I wish I wasn't writing this. Appearently Mike has left OLP due to creative differences. I'm sorry but right now I am at a loss for words, you can click here if you do not believe or do not want to believe me (I know I wouldn't). I think Rich and Shelly can put the loss in better terms than I can. Visit their site to read their comments at ourladypeace.cc

10/22/01- The concert last night was absolutely amazing!(well at least OLP's set) From what I could see, they were the most outwardly dedicated to and encouraging of the noble MWB and War Child cause out of all the bands there.
