DEAREST OTOWN STREET TEAM MEMBERS,
WHATS THE DEAL- - - - - -IN THE BATTLEFIELD!!?? THIS IS ERIK CHECKING
IN. RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT LET'S BEGIN! WE HAVE ALL OTOWN MEMBERS
PRESENT BUT THIS IS ERIK WRITING.....STOP WITH THE RHYME!
WHATS UP EVERYBODY SO HAPPY TO FINALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO TOUCH BASE
WITH YOU. WELL, LETS GO DOWN THE LINE AND UPDATE YOU ON EVERYBODY'S
STATUS.
FOR ALL OF YOU DREAD-LOCK LOVING JACOB LOVERS YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW
HE IS WELL ON HIS WAY TO BEING HIS OLD-ROCK-THE-DANCE-FLOOR SELF!!!!
AS FOR TREVOR...I GUESS HE HAS BEEN TAKING SOME "LEGEND OF BAGGER
VANCE" PILLS BECAUSE HE IS PLAYING GOLF LIKE EVERYDAY!
COMING IN AT A STRONG THIRD....DAN HAS BLESSED US WITH THE COMPANY OF
HIS YOUNGER BROTHER WHO WE LIKE TO CALL EVIL-DAN (because he is
exactly the opposite of Dan...he has a tattoo people!!!)..JUST-
PLAYING, HIS NAME IS ADAM AND THATS WHAT WE CALL HIM. HE HAS BEEN
TRAVELING WITH US ON THE ROAD AND HE HAD A BLAST...UNFORTUNATELY
DAN'S PARENTS "RECALLED" HIM BACK HOME.
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, ASHLEY TURNED 20 YEARS OLD! HE ASKED ME TO SEND
HIS GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE GIFTS AND ALL OF THE SUPERMAN STUFF...HE
NOW HAS MORE SUPERMAN ITEMS THAN DC COMICS AND WARNER BROS. HAVE EVER
MADE COMBINED! INSTEAD OF COLLECTING SUPERMAN HE HAS NOW SWITCHED HIS
ATTENTION TO VERY EXPENSIVE SPORTS CARS...JUST KIDDING....ACTUALLY
THE KID HAS RECENTLY FILLED OUR TOUR BUS WITH DVD'S CAUSE HE IS SO
EXCITED ABOUT HIS NEW DVD PLAYER THAT HIS BEST FRIEND GOT FOR HIS B-
DAY.
AS FOR ME, I AM JUST A SIMPLE MAN, A DILIGENT MAN, A MAN WHO LOVES TO
SLEEP WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN AND ENJOYS THE BRISK BREEZE FLOWING GENTLY
THROUGH THE WHITE CURTAINS ON A COOL SUMMERS DAY. I ENJOY SPORTS, JET-
SKIING AND AN OCCASIONAL TRIP TO THE CINEMA. I LOVE PETS, SINGING IN
THE SHOWER, AND I AM LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEBODY WHO WOULD
ENJOY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE JUST ENJOYING A NICE PICNIC IN THE PARK
OVER ONE WARM CUP OF TOP RAMEN NOODLES ......AT LEAST THATS WHAT IT
SAYS ON MY ONLINE DATING BIO....YOU KNOW I AM STILL SINGLE RIGHT?
J/K (it was way more funny before i actually wrote it)
ON THE SERIOUS TIP, WE ARE ALL DOING WELL INCLUDING MYSELF. WE JUST
FILMED A REALLY COOL VIDEO FOR "WE FIT TOGETHER"...AT LEAST WE THINK
SO....IT CAPTURES US IN OUR MOST NATURAL WAYS...JUST HAVING A
BLAST...IT WAS FILMED ON A YACHT...ON A BEACH...AND ITS GOING TO
MTV'S TRL IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS. WE HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH VERY
MANY BEAUTIFUL MODEL/ACTRESSES ON THE SET AND WANT TO SEND A SHOUT
OUT TO THEM FOR HELPING US GET THROUGH THE DAY ON THAT CRAZY, CRAZY
BOAT RIDE.
YOU GUYS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR FIRST #1 VIDEO ON TRL...LETS DO IT
AGAIN, THE FIRST TIME WAS JUST THE FIRST OF MANY MORE TO COME!!!!!
I WANT TO SEND A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF THE OTOWN ADVOCATES, AND
ONLINE WEBSITES, WHO HAVE SHARED OUR MUSIC WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
THROUGH DOING THAT YOU ARE THE BLOODLINE THAT KEEPS OTOWNS HEART
PUMPING FASTER AND STRONGER EVERYDAY. AGAIN THANK YOU.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WONDERING HOW MIKE AND MIKE ARE DOING...THEY
ARE GREAT. WE ARE JUST WORKING OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A THIRD SEASON
OF MAKING THE BAND ON MTV!!!!! ..AND WE ARE ALSO CONCENTRATING ON OUR
EUROPEAN VISIT COMING UP IN THESE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
TO WRAP IT UP....I CANNOT GO WITHOUT SAYING WHATS UP TO THE MANY
ONLINE CLUBS WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR TIME TO NOT ONLY ME..BUT EACH OF
US INDIVIDUALLY...YOUR WORK DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED BY ALL OF US.
ONE MORE QUICK REMINDER TO THOSE FEW FANS WHO HAVE FOLLOWED OUR BUS
OUT ON THE ROAD PLEASE KNOW THAT YOUR ACTIONS ARE APPRECIATED BECAUSE
WE KNOW WHERE THEY STEM FROM...YOUR LOVE OF OTOWN....BUT WHEN ROAD
WARS AND THE CUTTING OFF OF THE BUS OCCURS ITS NOT ONLY ENDANGERING
YOUR LIFE BUT OURS TOO. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL OF YOU AT THE SHOW.
ERIK-MICHAEL
P.S. TO ALL OF YOU OTOWN/BACKSTREET FANS OUR PRAYERS OUR ALSO WITH
A.J
