There is much exciting imaginary musical news.

For everyone that wished they could be in a cool band but didn't know how to make that happen or couldn't play an instrument, our time has come.

First off, thanks to everyone who submitted names for our new band. There were literally thousands and I'm grateful to all of you who took the time.

In general, I felt the name should be something Sneeze related since that's basically how we all know each other. Beyond that, there were clearly a few names that came up over and over. For a variety of reasons that I'm not going to bore you with (available URLS, available Myspace pages, etc...), I've arrived at a name that I'm feeling pretty great about.

From this point on, our band is offiically...

"The Tree Brains"

This is, as most of you know, in honor of the annual fungus that grows on my tree.

In case you're wondering what kind of music "The Tree Brains" play, it's our own new genre known as "Theoretical Rock."

As mentioned previously, this is a band ANYONE can join whether you can play an instrument or not. What's really important is we have a cool name, cool shirts, and we believe we rock.

In more exciting news, one of my favorite artists, Gary Taxali, is officially on board to design a logo. We are in excellent hands with Gary, and you can check out all his stuff at http://www.garytaxali.com.

Rock on fellow Tree-Brainers. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it started here.)
