It was just a few weeks ago, as I was sent spinning in my freshly mauled SUV across the median of a large intersection, the result of a crazed drunken Korean club kid (yeah, they actually make those) blazing through a red light at over 70 mph, when I started thinking - "Man, I can't wait to give our fans what they really want - a muy caliente Cinco De Mayo musical fiesta in Thousand Oaks!"
So after both my airbags deployed and I had stumbled from my smoking wreck to pee on the nearest lawn, I realized there would also be tons of neat carnival fun (including games, treats and more!) at the Canejo Valley Days festival that you and your loved ones will enjoy and hopefully remember forever.
And of course during my treatment in the emergency ward the next morning I couldn't help but sigh in relief that admission to the festival would be extremely reasonable and the new entertainment venue "The Hang" a great area for you to enjoy our sexy rock and roll musings in maximum comfort.
But it really wasn't until I starting hassling day and night with my insurance company that I fully realized how happy I'll be to see some of your wonderful faces in person dancing to your favorite jams. Because Lord knows, if it had been a crazed drunken German club kid who ran that light, I wouldn't be here today to tell my story.
Ernstlich, vielen Dank für alle Ihre freundlichen Gedanken und Liebe!

Drunk Driver tries to take out a CJ member BUT FAILS! (Post from April 15, 2007)
We'd like to thank all of you who came out last night to 14 Below in Santa Monica to show Conjob some love.
While we had a really great time; unfortunately the night took a sort of sobering turn on our way home last night.
Last night, our faithful leader....and drummer...and sometimes dance instructor...KB (Kevin), was hit by a drunk driver on his way home and was involved in a pretty serious car accident.
Little did we know while we were saying our good-bye's last night while giving each other high-fives and slaps on the ass that one of our members wouldn't make it home safely. (I'm sure KB now wishes he had been part of the Conjob Slumber Party at Vickie's last night!).
You should know KB is going to be ok. He is alive, conscious and still has his sense of humor, which unfortunately, is still not very funny! As I write this, KB is at the hospital being cared for and we are waiting for word to hear the extent of the damage done, which hopefully won't be more than a big bump on his even bigger head!
With that said, Conjob's scheduled show for tomorrow night (Saturday, 4/14/07) at Gallagher's in Huntington Beach is cancelled (Thrill Deluxe is still going to rock the house so it'll still be a great night, so still go and have a drink in KB's honor). We are hoping to be able to keep the rest of our gig schedule as is listed. We will keep you updated on that so be sure to keep checking in.
Today, we are thankful for 3 things:
1) KB IS ALIVE AND KICKIN'....even if he's a bit beat up, he's here with us and we couldn't be more grateful.
2) Our pretty Belinda (KB's regular carpool partner) was NOT in the car and is safe and sound and still as pretty as ever!
3) KB's beautiful new drum kit is safe and sound as well, even if his car is completely gone! (Which really, is a good thing...Carp can always use another sell!)
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING CONJOB. AND PLEASE STOP BY AND LEAVE A WARM & FUZZY "GET WELL SOON" MESSAGE FOR KB.....
Until then...
Everybody...BE COOL....
And please...don't drink and drive...
Sincerely,
Conjob
