Am speaking to Mommyd on the cell, while she's driving home from the Richmond meet and greet. It was raining, so very few people were there. Thus, Mommyd got to spend lots of quality with our Mark. She asked a bunch of questions and here they are...

#1. Mark said that Creed was not aware of the Skynyrd
tribute CD and they are DEF. NOT doing this.

#2 Scott and he are both hard at work writing new
material. And Scott P. is busy with the new baby
coming.

#3 Mark added, that if all goes as planned the new CD
will hit stores next Sept. 04.

#4 About Brett on the new album......it's still
questionable. They don't know yet.

#5 About his solo album.....he's not sure if he really
wants to do this yet. Working on things, but not
sure he wants to put out the solo album.

#6 A B-side album....they hope to and want to do one,
but is not sure when and if they will.

#7 He said to look for Submursed's CD in January 04.
They've all worked very hard on this CD and he's
excited and proud of it. Art work for the CD just
came back...looks good.

#8 He is doing more meet and greets and hopes to add
even more to his schedule....he is def. doing Chicago
and hopes to add Philly to the list.

#9 They try not to read about themselves, in books, mags
online etc....because its not usually accurate and he
gets really angry with it. So he usually avoids
this stuff.

#10 Metallica Icon...."that was such a joke. We been
asked to do a lot of cool things...but right now
we are just vacationing and stuff. "

#11 Why they changed the original "one" riff...cause the
band couldn't decide on one specific way to do it..
so they changed it around till they found one that
made them all happy--so to speak.

#12 Mark does NOT own an original Blue Collar cd...in
case you want to give him a gift.

#13 He's NOT getting a tattoo.

#14 Hates to sit around, so he's doing the meet and
greets.

#15 He hasn't played in front a people for a bit, and he
misses the fans.
