Um, you guys might want to check this out... David and I got an anonymous email this morning...

________________
David Kelly and Amanda Morrison,

We have heard about your "IRI talent show". We are a 5-person rock band who are masters at creating loud resonance frequencies with our instruments. Coming out of New Hampshire, we would like to show you midwesterners how to rock. All 5 of us were on FIRST teams at one point, but we all were rejected in last year's volunteer screening process. Being FIRST outcasts, we turned to rock and roll. Four of us are long-lost relatives of Dean Kamen and you might recognize our bassist, who was with the band "Slobber" in the 80's.

Our members are:

Dean Simmons (bass)
Ozzy Kamen (vocals)
Slash Kamen (guitar)
Eddie Van Kamen (guitar)
Lars Kamen (drums)

We hope you let us play, as we just got a new (to us) '79 Chevy Van to make the trip from Manchester to Indianapolis. We are starting to wear out our welcome in the venues in this area and we are looking for some new fans. Well, we just need any fans we can find.

Is there a campground nearby? Are there any Krispy Kreme's in Indianapolis? Can we use the showers at the event?

Please let us play, we want to give back to FIRST, although we can't be on teams any more.

Sincerely,
Dean Simmons and the Kamens
