After some discussion, and realizing how much more room there would be in the van, the band decides to forgo replacing Scott and continue on as a foursome. Time passes and it is decided that all the recording to date needs to be scrapped. In other news, a new, safer van was acquired which opens up the possibility of touring. The band spends 4 days in New Berlin at Broken Horsey Studio with Ed Reardon engineering and producing and the lovely Jenny Hanson cooking and generally keeping our spirits up with tales of underwear and the like. This session goes great and Ed heads back to Chicago to begin the mixes.
Discussion begins about changing the name of the band for the new release.
