Note From Sandy
Hey, all you 2Ge+herites!
I'm proud to announce that we are now sending to a whopping 500 members! ::dancing to "Up Against The Wall":: Just imagine the possibilities...the power...the group hugs! Now that I've got your attention ('cause I know you all just *love* group hugs!), make sure to check out the changes at http://projectmichael.cjb.net, 'cause I'm needing just a few more 2Ge+her appearances in order to make the collection complete. Fill me in, and I'll reimburse you with a favour in return. Thanks, and enjoy the issue to come, my friends!

Whoa! MTV's given a whole new look to their "official" 2Ge+her page! They've re-modeled all of their band sites, but hey, I'm just happy that they didn't delete this one completely now that 2G is somewhat over. Check it out at http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/2gether/artist.jhtml.

On Monday, 07-30-01, Kelly Lyons, Noah's girlfriend, paid a visit to the noahsmom.com chatroom and said that Noah is currently signed on to film a movie called "Lady Luck" which is expected to be released in theatres *and* that he will also be recording a CD to be finished in December. Want to help with Noah's upcoming solo CD? Here's a message to 2G2d members from the girl herself!
"You can email me about Noah's voice or the type of music you would like to hear him singing. We are in pre-production for his solo album, and I would love to get all the input I possibly can from his fans. I will eventually set up another email account that will go directly to the record company, but for now it can go to me and I'll pass it on."
She'd like comments and suggestions about Noah's voice and music to be sent to her at Lyoness926@aol.com. Apparently, Noah's also been asking for fans' opinions on what type of music beat/type he should use, so get yourself heard and tell them what you'd like to hear from Noah!

Here's a great fundraiser that all of you should take part in...The Robin's Egg Blue Ribbon Project (to remember Michael *and* raise money for Project Michael)!
"When Michael died, a few friends and I wore a light blue ribbon on our ankle in memory of him. I thought that there should be a ribbon program that would help us remember Michael and help his foundation at the same time. I have talked to Sandy about getting ribbons and giving them out in return for a dollar donation to Project Michael and having as many people as possible wear them in January (the month in which he was born and died). We've even discussed possibly having groups get '2Ge+her' across the US, Canada, and even the UK volunteer to buy ribbon and give out strips to fans and supporters. The goal is to raise money for Project Michael and show our love and respect for Michael. If you would like to help out, e-mail me. I hope to send out a newsletter to everyone who asks, since I already have tons of people asking how they can help! I hope this works, and I hope you'll choose to take part!"

The writers at http://www.trouble.co.uk/2gether/qt.shtml have made a joke within their QT biography that some believe was in bad taste:
"THE CUTIE
Geddit? He's the cutie, so they've called him QT. In the tradition of boybands everywhere, at least one member has to appeal to the under-5s and the grannies, so that's where QT comes in. Unfortunately, QT has now passed away ***(we hear it was due to a bizarre gardening accident)*** so is sadly no longer with the band."
Does this sort of bother you? Visit the Trouble Notice Boards at http://195.188.171.11/cgi-ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Trouble+on+TV&number=2 or simply e-mail them at Trouble@trouble.co.uk and offer them up a piece of your mind! (Source: UNNNO1@cs.com)

Final Note
It's nice we've spent this time "2Ge+her."
Sweet memories guide through stormy weather.
So when you're felling down and out
Just remember what 2G's all about
And what their friendship has brought to be --
We've all become one over-sized family!
yours, Sandy :)
