____________________________________________________

:: who would be the best choice band for geoff tate
:: to open up for? if you said queensryche, then
:: your wish may come true!

:: plans are being put together for a show this june
:: at the emp in seattle. and if everything works
:: out, geoff tate will be opening for queensryche.
:: sounds kinda odd, i know. and yes, geoff is still
:: in queensryche, if you feel so inclined to even
:: ask. :) look for a 30-45 minute set from geoff,
:: and a 60-90 minute set from queensryche.
:: stay tuned!


__ [ geofftate.com // stay tuned... and off the tv ]
____________________________________________________

:: Q: so why do i see "stay tuned... and off the tv"
:: in certain sections of geofftate.com? why isn't
:: the site complete?

:: A: we had a decision to make. either open the
:: site with a few sections incomplete or wait
:: another month or two until everything was
:: complete. we opted for the first.

:: if you've been frequenting the website, you'll
:: notice that we're constantly adding information.
:: this past week alone we added chris, evan and
:: howard's bios and the track layout for the new cd.
:: rest assured, those incomplete sections are being
:: worked on and will be up very soon!


__ [ geofftate.com // easter eggs ] ________________
____________________________________________________

:: easter is just right around the corner, but why
:: celebrate it just once a year when you can have
:: it everyday? geofftate.com is one of the first
:: websites to feature easter eggs. that's right,
:: easter eggs! you've seen them on dvds and
:: software, but now you can find them right here.

:: The term "easter egg", as we use it here, means
:: any amusing tidbit that we hide in our creation
:: (eg. this website). They could be hidden almost
:: anywhere, and will contain anything from music
:: to artwork to software. All depends on what we
:: decide to put up for you to find! To find the egg,
:: just look at the bottom of each page of the
:: website you visit. if you see an easter egg at
:: the bottom, click it! from there, you will be
:: rewarded with a special treat.

:: here's a hint: if and when you find the easter
:: egg, don't try copying the link, it only works
:: once! ;) happy hunting!


__ [ geofftate.com // hotmail & yahoo forum rules ]
____________________________________________________

:: if you've tried registering in the forums with
:: your hotmail or yahoo email account, you've
:: probably got the message that you've been banned.
:: that's somewhat true, but to a point.

:: we decided when opening geofftate.com that we
:: would not allow these services. the simple fact
:: is that those people are hard to moderate. we
:: want to make the forums a pleasurable experience
:: for everyone and in our past experience we've had
:: more trouble with users of hotmail and yahoo than
:: anyone else. 9 out of 10 people who use hotmail
:: or yahoo have a real email account elsewhere. we
:: ask that you please register using that account,
:: for we will not share or distribute your
:: information with anyone else!
