OH - Don't forget to also call the world's most underrated Folk-Rock Singer-Songwriter, 'Nick Holmes.'5. Send them up all together on the same bus to the town of Woodstock, in upstate New York.6. Make sure that they are all thoroughly wasted for the next three days.7. Roll Tape.8. Bring the finished masters back with you in your time machine, to the Year 2000.9. Buy some Altec-Lansing "Voice of the Theater" Loudspeakers; Crank your Stereo up to 'Eleven,' and invite all of your esoteric friends over to your house for a New Year's Eve Party, this December 31st, 2000.10. Lead off with the track "Battle Royal" and end up with "Auld Lang Syne!" at Twelve Midnight, on the dot."
