UPDATES REPORTED May 14 - May 27, 2004

You’re Invited to Inside Jacob's Loc’s Launch Party!
(May 14, 2004) It’s time to celebrate a new latitude and a new attitude! Come sail away with us for the Inside Jacob’s Loc launch party! Inside O-Town has opened a new location, Inside Jacob’s Loc. We believe that Inside O-Town’s members will enjoy visiting our newest community for a nice change of scene. When you arrive, we won’t be surprised if we hear you say, similar to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, “I don’t think we’re in O-Town anymore!” Just as the former members of O-Town decided to expand their horizons, many of their fans wish to follow them on their musical journeys as well. We believe that virtual travelers search online for names they recognize the same way that travelers on the road look for the hotel and restaurant names they know and like. Expect to run into friends you made at Inside O-Town and make some new friends, too! So come enjoy the warmth of the golden sun and sand, the shade of the green palms and the refreshing teal ocean that this virtual San Diego location has to offer! Bring your beach chair, hat and shades. Grab the cold beverage of your choice from the ice chest and help yourself to tortilla chips, guacamole and salsa at our launch party! We can’t wait to see you - Saturday, May 15, 2004 at noon PDT! Click on the banner above or here and you'll be taken right to the venue ... dress is beach attire! See you there!

Trevor Penick Poser Alert

(May 15, 2004) A fan became suspicious that the person corresponding with her from an email address that someone had given her as Trevor's email address for fan mail was not really Trevor. She contacted us and asked us to verify if it was indeed Trevor's email address for fan mail. We checked the email address with Trevor himself and we were just informed this morning that the email address that this fan was given is not Trevor's email address. We hope that the disappointed fan can take some solace in knowing that by her coming forward and asking for the email address to be verified, at least she won't be misled any longer and perhaps this alert will save other fans the same frustration and disappointment. Please feel free to post this info anywhere it might be appreciated. Trevor is aware that we'd be issuing a poser alert:

TREVOR PENICK POSER ALERT
The person who created/responds to the email account trevors_fan_mail@yahoo.com and lists the name associated with that email address as Trevor Penick is NOT Trevor Penick. Trevor does not answer email at the Trevor_fan_mail@yahoo .com. He does not have an email address for fans at this time.

Thanks for everyone's help in spreading the word. Please continue to use extreme caution if somebody gives you any email addresses that are supposedly those that the guys are using to stay in touch with their fans. To the best of our knowledge, none of the guys currently have such email addresses. We've already asked reliable sources if the guys had such email addresses and were told that they don't have anything like that right now. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

(May 27, 2004) We thank Franca from IO affiliate O-Town World for posting the news at IO that she was looking through some magazines at her supermarket and discovered that the German Magazine YAM had a short article about Jacob’s Loc! They wrote a bit about Jacob’s new band and that this band would be Jacob’s comeback. YAM claims to have a readership of 600,000. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published article about Jacob’s Loc anywhere in the world. Congrats go to Jacob’s Loc for already getting noticed by the professional media!
