1. If you're on the Rudiger street team, you should have received a copy of their Green Day cover "Welcome To Paradise" which they recorded last December. They also recorded "2000 Light Years" which will be featured on a Green Day Tribute album put out by Skunk Ape Records. It will be released in July, so look out for it!

2. I have some great pictures from the GlassHouse show, but I haven't had time to upload them onto the site. I did put them up on the Rudiger Fan Club yahoo group, so if you're signed up with that, go check them out under the photo section. If you're not in the fan club... what are you waiting for?!

Yes, stupid security!! I didn't get to record the whole set... I missed more than half of "The Call". Oh well.

Anyway, did you all get the email about the free show I talked about yesterday? If you didn't, here's the info:
Friday, April 4th RUDIGER is playing a free show with Slick Shoes, Name Taken, and Exit Only at the University of Redlands. Bring everyone you know, it's Free!
Show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Jered promised me they'll play "Meant To Be" (it's been so long since I've heard them play it live) at the free show, so all of you remember that! If they don't play it, I'll be very very sad. =P

Rudiger @ the GlassHouse = AWESOME!

They played mostly slow songs, but it's all good. The only RUDIGER fans that talked to me were the ones I already know!! I didn't really meet anyone new. What's up with that? But anyway, I'd like to thank MyKieu, Jason, Irene, Arish, Kaylie, Annie, and the Rudiger guys for talking to me. Rudiger fans REPRESENT! :)

Anyway, about the interview we were supposed to have... we didn't get enough submissions of questions, and we weren't prepared... so basically it didn't happen.

Good news: Mike told me that they'll be playing a FREE show on April 4th with Slick Shoes. I don't remember where it will be, but I'll definately let you know when I find out.

I'm planning to be fully prepared for an interview with Rudiger by the time the free show comes along, so you can look forward to that.

HAVE FUN at Jerry's Pizza tonight!

Things to remember:
-Take pictures!
-Write reviews!
-Send us any questions you have for Rudiger!

Sacramento fans HAVE FUN tonight!

Only a few more days until the GlassHouse show! Whoo. I'm excited. =D

Rudiger's "Safe With You" has played a few times on X103.9 ... let's try to make them play it more often! Call (909) 889-1039 and request them to play "Safe With You"!

Rudiger is back in California... playing in Santa Cruz. HAVE FUN tonight!

Things to remember:
-Take pictures!
-Write reviews!
-Send us any questions you have for Rudiger!

(email us here)

Rudiger is rockin' in Nevada right now. HAVE FUN! :)

Man, oh man... I feel really bad! I thought Curt's birthday was in May.. but it's in March... which means it was THIS month! His birthday was March 4... he turned 22... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CURT!

I'm going to buy my Rudiger hoodie (finally!) at the GlassHouse... I just hope I have enough money!

Yeah.. make sure you come up to Jason or me at the show. I like to make new friends... especially friends that like Rudiger! I mean, I didn't even know Jason until I met him at Rudiger show. I've also met a bunch of Rudiger fans (Irene, Mikey, Arish, etc) that I sometimes see at other shows, and I hang out with them. Like MyKieu says... we're all one big Rudiger family! :)

If you don't know what I look like... click here. I'm in the 5th picture... in the middle... wearing the Finch shirt. Hmm.. I don't think I have any pictures of Jason.. but he'll be the guy with the cool looking eyes. :) Oh yeah, also say "hello" to Irene... she's pretty nice too... she's in the 6th picture, 3rd person.

Rudiger is in Salt Lake City tonight. Everyone HAVE FUN! :) (me & my damned happy faces!)

Rudiger fans in Fort Collins, Colorado- HAVE FUN!

Remember to write reviews of the show and send it to us!

I went to the free Ataris show today and passed out flyers with MyKieu. Irene and her friend there passing out flyers, as well. There was an autograph signing after, but since to meet them you had to have a wristband which you receive after buying "So Long Astoria" at Tower, I didn't meet them. I'm too cheap to buy a CD from Tower (it's for $5.99 at Target!!). But one of my friends had a wristband, so I gave her a couple of flyers to give the guys in the Ataris, so maybe they'll come out & support.

Hmm... so where is Rudiger tonight? New Mexico, right? (Ooh, that rhymes.)
New Mexicans (haha)- HAVE FUN at the show tonight!

If you're going to see Rudiger/AK at the Stratum Laser Tag in Mesa, Arizona tonight... HAVE FUN & remember to write reviews on the show... so we can put it up!

Also, Jason & I are planning to interview the Rudiger guys at the GlassHouse show. If you have any ideas or if there's something you want us to ask them, let us know!

I just got a new batch of flyers for the AK/Rudiger show @ the GlassHouse. If you want some, let me know. I'll be at the Ataris show on Saturday passing them out, so if you see me... make sure to say "What up G?!" :)

I also got my hands on some new Rudiger buttons:


I'm not sure if they have any other new merch, but I'll let you know when I know.

Tickets for the GlassHouse will be on sale at 10am today.

Click here to buy it at Ticketmaster.

If you didn't notice, the Official RUDIGER site has some new pictures up in the homie & fan section.

I was excited to see an awesome email from the Rudiger guys... not only because I'm going to see them next week (it's been awhile!!), but because they added this:

All RUDIGER fans should stop by www.rudiger.rocks.it a fan site made by Jason and Gernez AKA RUDIGernez! This site rocks and so do they.

Aww, they're the best. :)

GOOD NEWS (yay!)- The host gave me back all my files! I'm going to put the site back up, but on the side I'm going to be re-designing the site. I'm a lagger so the new site won't be up for awhile.

Remember- the AK/RUDIGER show will be on sale MARCH 6th, so make sure to buy your tickets! It's going to be an AWESOME show- yeah, you know it!!

BAD NEWS- All the files, data, and pictures for this site have been lost. That's what happens when you make a site on a free server. *sigh*

I can't get any of it back, so I'm going to try to start a whole new site from scratch. It's going to take awhile, but I promise to keep you all updated through this blog. I'm in the process of looking for a host... so if anyone can help me out on that, please let me know. I might even be willing to pay for webspace.

I'm really frustrated right now... I really liked how the site was coming along. Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to do what I need to do...

Show us some love.
