LETTER FROM QUINTRON:

As I am sure you all must know....me and Miss Pussycat got
out.....most of our instruments were also evacuated, but the entire
electronics lab was destroyed and many Pussycat paintings and puppets
were also lost. Also, the house (SPELLCASTER LODGE) is
questionable.......the front gable blew off and the whole downstairs
(the LODGE) was REALLY the underwater dance club for about 3-4 days.
Unfortunately the only things dancing were dead animals, benzine, E-
coli, fire ants, and human feces........Our entire building structure
being condemned is a real possibility. The good news is that as far
as I know all Rhinestone Records Krewe are ok......Trachiotomy rode
it out along with Strangebone (Jeff Matson), DJ Math Problem (Brian
Marchese), Mikey Serabrini, Danger Dan Fusilier (famous painter of
Mother in Law), Jamie & Raven, and many others. Antoinette K-Doe (of
the MOTHER IN LAW LOUNGE) also stayed and survived but her lounge
saw even deeper water than the Lodge. I know that many of you are
having various benefits and you should send your money to any place
that makes the most sense to you....if you are donating directly to
the Lodge please know that the $ will go to replace equiptment and to
re-build the Spellcaster because we have no insurance of any kind.
It will also go to keep the show on the road for many of the above
mentioned Hurricane heroes. The reason I am writing this is because
I have been asked by benefit organizers to explain somehow what is
happening and where the benefit funds for Rhinestone Records will
go.......so, that is my explaination about money........as far as
what is happening.......i don't know what the fuck is
happening.....this is biblical and it is breaking my heart to see New
Orleans burnt, flooded, neglected, ethnically cleansed, and basically
shoved underwater to drown........but we can breath underwater baby.
Cajun Atlantis has just begun to emerge and the moment those fuckers
let us back in the gates, we are going straight to the gun store and
then to the boat bar for all the free drinks we can drink. Thank you
all for everything........WE LOVE YOU!...............sincerely, Mr.Q
and all of Rhinestone Records

P.S. website will be updated soon and all QUINTRON AND MISS PUSSYCAT
tour dates are NOT being cancelled, although Harry Merry may drop off
as the opener for this coming Fall tour........we must tour with a
New Orleans band now................we will definitely have some
stuff to talk about in the van.
