I just wanted to take the time to publicly thank Jason R Briggs for helping us out in a very timely manner with the problem we were having with our online store. Jason’s YAK plugin for WordPress powers our store, and the newest version should be available soon! Thanks, Jason!

I just read that Jerry D’Amico passed away the other day. That’s depressing. For those of you who don’t know, Jerry ran a shop on Pine Avenue here in Niagara Falls called D’Amico Music for the last 35 years. I’ve been going to that shop religiously since I first started playing music. I used to go there with Dan when we first decided to start up a band, way before thinksobrain ever came along. Any time I needed anything, I went to Jerry first, because he always had the best prices, offered the best advice, and if he didn’t have something, he’d go out of his way to try and get it for you. I’m almost speechless here, and for those of you who’ve been to the live shows, you know that’s a rarity. I’m in shock.
I’ve been a patron at D’Amico music for thirteen years. I never really made a major purchase there, just essentials - picks, tuners, guitar straps, strings and such - but every time I set foot in that store, Jerry made me feel right at home. Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. D’Amico. You will be greatly missed.

We have a new addition to our thinksobrain family. Lucifer Raine welcomed his daughter Kira into the world on Friday, June 13, 2008. Born at 1:16PM, Kira is 18.5 inches long and 6 lbs 5 oz in weight. She’s the third thinksokid, following JoE’s daughter Madison and Anth’s son Anthony Jr. Congrats, Lucifer!

I don’t know if you guys realize this, but I do all the online stuff for thinksobrain, including our myspace and of course, the page you’re reading right now, thinksobrain.com. And since this is about the 5th or 6th incarnation of thinksobrain.com when the band has only been in existence for two years, I’m sure you can all tell, I’m never satisfied. I actually had another design in the works before this one, but after discovering Chris Coyier’s CSS-Tricks.com, I couldn’t resist going this route. This one should prove to be the most robust yet, at least from my perspective as the designer and main contributor, because we’re now powered by WordPress, which has a lot of cool features. I’m still learning though, so bear with me.
We’ve also re-added support for Social Networking/Bookmarking sites, so if you’ve StumbleUponed us, feel free to Digg us, because we’re delicious!
Anyway, I know you guys didn’t come here to read about my tech-savvy self and this spiffy new look for thinksobrain.com, you came here to see what’s going on in our world. Right now, I think you guys all may have heard, we’re taking a break from the stage for a few months. I’m not going to go into details because that’s another post, due in a couple weeks. That doesn’t mean we don’t have stuff going on though - within the next couple of weeks, Quickstar Productions will be releasing Downtown Metal Vol. 6, which will feature our song “King of Chaos,” in CD and digital media formats including iTunes.
Stay tuned to thinksobrain.com and keep up with everything going on in our world - or you can use the brand-spankin’ new RSS feed over to the right!
