"Hi there!
"We're sitting in a hotelroom in Memphis while the hurricane Katrina is raving mad outside..
We had to "drive around" the storm last night and arrived in Memphis this morning.
I hope that tomorrows show here won?t be affected by the storm. I know that a lot of families have been evacuated from their homes which must be a quite horrible experience..
"I also want to take the time to thank Chuck Billy for singing Follow the Hollow with me on stage in San Francisco, you're the best! (i've tried to call you Chuck, unfortunately no luck..) Anyways i'll try later and we give our best regards to you and your family, we'll see ya soon!
"For you people who haven't seen us yet on Ozzfest where looking forward to see you on stage in Nashville, Charlotte and West Palm Beach!
"Cheers, Speed"
