Welcome to the Heist, boys

Glad you all could make it, welcome to The Heist, our online headquarters. It may not have the comfy chairs our last headquarters had but at least we won't have my mom interrupting us and asking us if we want cookies and milk, thats just not what a dignified Heister does!
Here you'll be debriefed and orders will be given. I want at the minimum a weekly update. If something happens, I want to be the first to know. If the school of Music sneezes, I want to know. If Dr. Walders trips, first put it on youtube, and then tell me. If any other A Cappella group so much as warms up you betcha I'm gonna know their starting pitch.
You have your specialties. You have your mission. Now go for it. April 12th will be here sooner than you think. Something big is coming boys, and JMU won't know what hit 'em. We're gonna be back with a vengeance!

For those of you who are not part of our illustrious group, welcome. You are about to be witness to one of the most epic A Cappella concerts JMU has ever seen. There is a reason JMU thinks The Madison Project is so dangerous, we just rock way too hard. If you want to be witness to this historic event. Be there and be prepared to have your face literally rocked off. It'll be worth it. Be at Wilson Hall on Saturday April 12th at 8:00.
Are you in?

Flashbacks

I've been having them again. The flashbacks.

Although the bumps and bruises that we have come to love from rocking so hard have healed since that fateful show last semester, my soul still carries a permanent scar. It represents the brotherhood, the music, the house... where 15 guys with nothing but pure rock in their blood instinctively fit into a tight arc of lyrical and melodious passion. I'm talking about the sweet sweet smell of the pop filter in front of the mic... the ache in my shoulders from wailing on the air guitar... I'm talking about pierre and ralph t preston... the adrenaline rush before taking the stage... the sheer electricity in the air as we kick it up to 11....

Indeed, the Madison Project remains a scar on my soul - burned and imprinted in permanence. Babaganoosh, Snakes, Hotblades, Moniker, Mr. Jack, Dex, Whippet, Skepto, Cereal Killer, Inside Man, and the rest... lets make this into something they'll never forget. I know this goes without mention, but once you're in, you're in. No turning back.

I've heard concern expressed about the boss. I've had my concerns as well, but from what I understand, he's keeping a low profile to stay off the fed's radar screen. After just being released, I'm sure the last thing he wants is to get put away again before this heist even takes place. I think we'd all be wise to follow his lead on this one.

video from Parole Board.

I know a guy in the joint- not as a prisoner, but on staff. He happened to know another guy on the Parole board. After they reviewed Chandler, the boss, they published this tape. My guy got his hands on it, and kindly gave it to me. See you tonight.

First Meeting

Alright boys, your patience has paid off. Our first meeting. Like I was telling Moniker, patience sure is the lamest virtue, but here is your reward. We'll be meeting at the coordinates you received in your self-distructing message and if it blew up before you had a chance to read it, READ FASTER NEXT TIME! And ask someone else. 

Be sure not to forget the meat. And thats not a codeword for anything, I honestly mean bring the meat, we'll be grilling. And some cookies. Chocolate chip is my favorite. Cake would be nice too. Oh and "buns," don't forget the "buns." Is that codeword for something? You tell me...

We'll be discussing our plans for this weekend. I've found a theatre that is a replica of Wilson Hall. We'll break in as practice for the real thing. It'll just be a test run since we're all a bit rusty and need to make sure we still remember how to rock faces off. If all goes well, we'll be one step closer to Wilson...

See you tonight boys, reconnoiter at 1800 hours. Don't be late
