ALL STAR UNITED NEWS FLASH!! --- NASHVILLE, TN SHOW ON THURSDAY, MAY 4TH!! Next week, our boys will be taking the stage at the infamous 12th & Porter for a VERY special show. What makes this show especially fun is that ALL you All Star fans (here in the U.S. and all over the world) will get to enjoy it. Wešre webcasting the show LIVE for your viewing and listening pleasure!! For all our Nashville fans, wešre expecting you to show up! :-) Even though the show is 18 & over, wešve heard that if you call the venue they might let you come out if your parents are with you. Anyone who canšt make it to the show needs to surf over to www.Liveonthenet.com and register for your FREE ticket to see it via the web. All you need is your FREE access ticket, a bag of popcorn, some pom-poms, and a RealAudio G2 player (which is also FREE and can be downloaded at www.real.com) and youšre ready to enjoy the show!!
-- APRIL 30TH SHOW IN ORLANDO, FL CANCELLED!! We just received word that the Sunday, April 30th show at the Wet N Wild water park has been cancelled by the promoter. Wešre encouraging everyone to come on out to the Saturday event. Admission to the water park get you into the concert for FREE!! If you come to the park after 6:00 p.m. for the show, you can receive an additional ticket discount. If you can, PLEASE come out and join us! It should be a BLAST! Bring your swim trunks! :-)
--- 27 DAYS AND COUNTING TO THE RELEASE OF "SMASH HITS" ON MAY 23RD, 2000!! "Smash Hits" features the best material off the bandsš first two records (All Star United & International Anthems For The Human Race), demo versions of early All Star favorites, a remix of "Saviour Of My Universe," and TWO BRAND NEW ALL STAR TUNES!! This will be a true collectoršs item for die-hard All Star fans and an AWESOME gift idea for someone whošs never heard the band. We need you to help us get the word out----and get those bookstores jammed with All Stars on the 23rd!! More information to come.
--- CONTACT THE BAND! A lot of fans have been e-mailing us wondering where to send letters, cards, etc. directly to the band. All fan mail (and believe me, the band reads EVERY piece) can be sent to: All Star United, P.O. Box 24446, Nashville, TN, 37202, USA. The band tries to respond to as MANY letters as possible and REALLY appreciates each one! While it may take awhile to get a response, please know how much your letters of encouragement mean to the guys!!

BIBLE STUDIES / STORIES BEHIND THE SONGS If youšve got specific questions or would like to see a Bible study or "story behind the song" done for a specific All Star song, please e-mail us at ASUManager@aol.com. As you know, we try and include a different Bible study/explanation with each newsletter. Due to the length of this issue, wešve had to cut out this issuešs study, but wešll include TWO in the next issue to make up for it. In the meantime, we highly recommend, in the spirit of the Easter season, that you reflect on the story of Christšs death and resurrection. Check out John 18-20; Luke 22-24; Mark 14-16; Matthew 26-28. **********************************************
