Would you let YOUR daughter date the Halo??
Brushwood and Jim Bob once concocted the idea to sumit the entire band in an AOL personal ad. Surprisingly, they received many responses! Unfortunately, not many wrote back a second time. No one got married or even mildly lucky as a result of the personal. We present the original ad in its entirety and our favorite responses...THE AD:
Quirky
Bored Rock Musicians Seek Friends
Gender: 4 Males plus 1 presumably male invisible friend
City, State: New Brunswick, NJ
Occupation: Corporate Slaves by Day, Musicians by Night
Age / Height / Weight: 24-31 / 5'7" to 5'11" / 130-200 lbs
We love all people, but because our day jobs prevent us from touring the world
on weekdays, we don't always meet them. We feel we are actually quite charming
if off-center individuals who enjoy unusual music, Muppets, the occasional
marriage, homemade beer and hanging out with our invisible friend Chester (we're
sorry he's not in the photo, but you know, he's invisible...).
You don't have to know our music to write to us. After all, we don't know yours.
- A Halo Called Fred

(it turns out to be Brushwood, who soon took the comely west coast lass on several "cyber dates", until she and her email address mysteriously vanished, breaking Brushwood's fragile heart. Where are you now, MM?)

Hey guys..
Well like yourselves I too am a struggling musician..
I am a drummer so technically I just "hang around musicians".
Anyway, we (being the band) play straight ahead rock & roll,reminicent of the 70's, but in tune with today's top artist to stay interesting.The name we reside under is CALM WATERZ.
We put out an independant CD back in 94(shit that was three years ago already!!) and have been touring around our area for publicity.The radio stations have been good but in the end it's, "Oh you guys AREN'T signed?"Anyway my name is R.J. broadcasting from Scranton, Pa. send me some stuff..
