Note From Sandy
Hey fellow 2Ge+herites!
::being jolted awake by the sound of the birds..."it's 2sday again," they sing::
--Check out the brand new Official Project Michael Site at http://2gether2day.homestead.com/projectmichael.html, featuring it's very own CHAT ROOM! This page should answer all of your deepest, darkest questions about the progress of Project Michael...and if it doesn't, you can also e-mail me from there!
--If you are currently advertising for Project Michael on your site or newsletter and do not see your link at the bottom of http://2gether2day.homestead.com/projectmichaeladvertise.html, please notify me immediately with your site address or club name and subscribe link. Thank you!
--To pick up subscription rates (for the sake of Project Michael), I am holding a member contest. The winner, or the member who helps to subscribe the highest number of people, will receive a free copy of the cassette taped interview! However, this member must help sign up at least 20 people...otherwise, the prize goes to no one. Sounds like fun? Get pumpin'! Just make sure that you tell everyone to let me know that "so-and-so sent me!"
--As you, the people, have determined, the Lyrics section will be replaced with "Anthology of Awesomeness" quotes in five weeks. Stay tuned for lyrics from Michael Cuccione's (QT's) solo album until then. Thank you to all who voted!
--Check out the Project Michael section if you have ordered "2G2d's 2AVC!" to track its progress.
--This is the last week for you to request your favorite 2G quotes for .wav recording. Do you have any you'd like me to record? Let me know (subj: System Sound Suggestion).

The goal is to raise $1,000 by September. Currently, we have a little over $600 to go. This is reachable, but we need more donations and video collection orders to make it happen.
Video collection orders are currently in the process of being filled. Stay tuned to this section (and the Official Project Michael Site) for details.
Project Michael raised a little over $130 this week! GO TEAM! Whoo-hoo!

Follow-up: Kevin Farley (Doug) did actually film a scene for "Little Nicky." However, it was edited out of the final cut. It was, in fact, John Farley, Kevin's brother, who played the human dart board in the film. (Source: PrincessLaLa23@aol.com, Froggle2004@aol.com, Jessica)

The PlayAlong Toys 2Ge+her site is up at playalongtoys.com/2gether/index1.htm with several pictures of each doll! For my descriptions and a picture of my Kevin (Doug), Evan (Jerry), Alex (Mickey), and Noah (Chad) dolls, e-mail me (subj: What Do The Dolls Look Like?).
According to noahsmom.com, no more 2Ge+her dolls will be produced. In other words, after the dolls are sold out in stores, they will be unavailable for purchase. "Because the series was cancelled in the US, they only made a few as a model."
These rare dolls are being sold at select Kohls locations by a company called Play Along Toys. I bought mine for $11.89 each. On the official site, it is specified that the Michael (QT) dolls are on limited availability, so you may want to call your local Kohl's on a regular basis. New shipments come in 4-5 times a week on weekdays. Don't know where your nearest Kohls is? Surf onto
kohls.com/about_kohls/about_kohls_where_we_are.htm to find out!
If you'd like to order out-of-state, e-mail me (subj: Where Can I Find Dolls?) for three locations that stock the dolls. Know of any others? Let me know (subj: I Bought My Doll At...). You will want to call and verify your selected location's stock before you confront your local Kohls rep.

Quote/Fun Fact
Excerpt from Eulogy Chad Delivered at His Parents' Funeral
"I have known my mom and dad all my life. They were like family to me. They were always there with a hug or a smile or a 'How you doing, Chad?' or a 'Put that down, bastard!' or a 'Stop laughing at me -- my face is on fire!' and so on. Those were good times. Sad times, but good times. Sad, because they are no longer with us. But we must go on. One time, when I was feeling down in the dumps, my mom took me on her knee and said, 'Time heals all wounds.' How right mom was, even if time is unlikely to heal her severed head."

Lyrics
1. When You Are Away
from "Make A Difference"
(Michael Cuccione)
When you are away...when you cannot stay...I miss you when you are gone.
Oh yeah...oh yeah...
When I hear you through the night, I know everything's gonna be all right.
When I wake up and see your sight, it's almost like seeing the light.
CHORUS:
When you are away, I wish that you were here.
Away...I miss those happy cheers.
When you are away, why couldn't you be near?
Day and night, it feels to right...
You know that I love you, and I know that you love me, too.
I know all that we've been through and that prayer can come true.
CHORUS (2X)
I know it hasn't seemed fair, but you always showed you care.
I feel things are turning around. Soon we'll be back on solid ground!
IN THE FUTURE...
from "Make A Difference"
2. Make A Difference
3. I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye
