Its been quite a week for us in Grand Lake land... as you may have read, our beloved van, Lucy, was stolen on Sunday. Hippies Are Dead posted a nice 'be on the lookout' type piece about that. So far, Lucy hasn't turned up again, but we remain optimistic.

The Bay Bridged posted their latest podcast today, which features Grand Lake. Give it a listen here. Topics covered in the interview include the origins of Grand Lake, our affinity for Cassingles, drinking, quitting jobs, and gut-feelings. Niiiiiice.

West Coast Performer Mag's Brian Echon wrote a tidy little feature about Grand Lake in this month's issue entitled "Grand Lake: When Pain Is The Muse" - oh the drama! Check that out here.

Stranger Dance included "Sandusky Sunset" in an mp3 round-up type post. Check it here.

Thursday night we play our first ever headlining show at the El Rio. We will also be selling our new cassette single Sandusky Sunset for the first time. They are all done - and they are beautiful. They are also only $5, which includes a digital download and a button. Hellz yeah.

This is the suckiest post I hope I ever have to write:

Today while I was at work, our beloved van, Lucy, was stolen from a spot on Regent and Parker in Berkeley. In the back of the van was Erika's yamaha stage piano. So this double-sucks.

If you see some punk kids riding around in a 1989 Baby-Blue Toyota Van with an Amoeba Music sticker on the back, please let us know when and where by emailing us.

The police said that there is an OK chance that Lucy will be found sometime in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, we will be dedicating our set on Thursday to her. We will wear black, funeral style.

In case you spot a van that matches ours, here is the license plate number: 2PSC424

Today I'm busy folding and gluing cassette sleeves. This is what they look like:

They are cuter than me.
