Thank you for uncovering the conspiracy.

Flosstrodamus are pros. It seems like some of you Seattle-ites are over-thinking the party performance @ Chop Suey. That's OK. No doubt the good people of the Northwest in general are famously thoughtful, and known for passionate critical response to life encounters, and Seattle-ians are no exception. You fearlessly draw your lines and hold them. Jimi-re-invents elec guitar, Pearl Jam-takes on the Ticketmaster syndicate, The Sonics!-need I say more. You are all legacies of pioneers of the bravest order. You SHOULD question everything you experience. You MUST continue to push the thresholds of experience and creation. Even a big party. Many things happened at all of the parties on the tour. What went down @ Chop Suey is no exception. Keep thinking it all through. Continue the analysis. Go over it again and again. Keep doing it. Go over it to get over it. Or is it, "You gotta get under, before you get over" ? Was James Brown from Seattle? Regardless, to all you good people who attended that party---thank you for bringing your A-game (physically, criticaly, and otherwise). KEEP ON THINKING IN THE RED!!!!!!

Love,

Doug Anson
