Good morning, little sunshine! Seeing these great pics of SP’s vast family reminds me we are putting together new shirts for kids, as we have a motivated merchandise partner for the first time in years. So lots of new shirts coming (vintage, vintage themed, and SAOSB). So keep the pics coming, as I truly do love sharing them. In other news, it’s back to singing today, with 3 to go. I spent most of yesterday working on extra guitar parts, overdubs, solos. Still no decision yet on how or when to release the music…

Fans in The Smashing Pumpkins Facebook group have noted that ticket sales for certain shows have really been picking up.
One fan wrote, “Interesting, I was on the Houston Toyota Arena website and noticed that LORDE still has Floor seats available for her concert and that’s this month. Yet Pumpkins have sold out all Floor seats already. I’m not dissing LORDE, I love her music but using this to show how media can twist stuff and bash who they want?”
Another fan posted a couple of days ago, “Yeah, about those ticket sales in the ‘weak’ markets. Salt Lake City on Sunday vs today. The tickets are selling without any problems, and the articles stating otherwise are clearly all click-bait.”
