May 22nd - Wally "The Dog" Parris & The Reverend cruised down to Raleigh, NC to meet & hang out with XXX porn star Lovette. After taking charge in the club she was performing in (Pure Gold), they proceeded to get hammered. Our good buddy Mark "Big Brother" Ferski showed up and helped keep the party going as well. The new advance SINgle "Lovette" (which was recorded by request) was debuted to the public at the club. The Dog & The Reverend were SINtroduced and thanked many times over the PA for choosing Pure Gold as the venue for the CD SINgle debut and their party stop. Later, after her sets, The Dog & The Reverend were invited back to her hotel suite to hang out and party. Arriving at around 4 am, they did not leave until 8 am.

(posted) April 27th - The following was taken from a letter sent to ORDAINED by our part time roadie and all time fan Grasshopper. He is a member of the United States Marine Corps. "...one of the staff sargents told us that "celebrities" were protesting us going to war. Well, let me just say this... on September 11, 2001 those pansy asses wouldn't of complained and we're here to prevent that from ever happening again. These "celebrities" don't know the half of it; we live in tents (about 20 or so to a tent), and we sleep in the sand. We take a shower once a week and I'm still wearing the same pair of cammies that I wore into country on February 17th." He continues: "If they love Iraq so much, they should MOVE THERE!!! I will gladly pay for them to move there if I could afford it because they really don't deserve to be in America. In the first damn place, it's time that "celebrities" back the government and the people who work daily to keep their freedoms. I'm glad that my idols, ie: Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Motley Crue etc. at least stand for Americas values...." In closing he states: " ...the flower power days of Vietnam are over and it's not about one form of government that we're worried about, it's these killing devices that can make it so no-one would even be here." All hail Grasshopper! All hail the United States Of America!
April 24th - The Reverend added some new ink to his left arm today. Jerry Thomas at Toucan Tattoo inked in a bad ass custom piece on Revs left forearm. It is Ra, the egyptian sun God. He was put in between Anubis (outer left forearm) and the left half of the Great Sphinx (inner left forearm). The new ink was done in about 2 hours.
(posted) April 24th - Mike Pagan added some new ink to his left forearm today. He had a demon girl inked in black and white put on his arm from his wrist almost up to his elbow.
(posted) April 21st - Received a letter from Grasshopper. After not hearing from him since early January, a letter arrived stating that he was now in Baghdad, Iraq. His battalion kicked ass and the United States Marines are now in control of the capital. He is PISSED about all these movie stars, rock stars, other countries and our own citizens talking shit about America and our armed forces. He told me to pass along this message to everyone: "We are out here kicking ass and making it safe for people from America and the people of Iraq to be able to live in freedom. If you don't like it, FUCK YOU!"
March 31st through April 5th - The Reverend returned to Sin City Las Vegas for a much needed vacation this past week. This trip was a major gambling storm, with blackack sessions lasting up to 16 hours a day. That's right, 16 hours a day. Concerts (Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society with Nashville Pussy at the Huntridge Theatre and Motive at the Cooler Lounge), blackjack, video poker, roulette, a kick ass radio station, free hotel rooms, free food, free drinks.... why go anywhere else on vacation? The Reverend also did a SINterview for Blowtorch magazine which will be printed in issue #6 to be released this fall. Thanks goes out to Brutal Berry and Tim (our buds in Requiem) for getting up with The Reverend, SINtroducing him to some new bands, hooking up the magazine SINterview, drinking heavily and hanging out.
March 29th - ORDAINED drummer Wally Parris has made a major change in his appearance. This morning at 8 am EST, he shaved his head bald for charity. Afterwards, his 11 inch ponytail was sent Priority Mail to the charity in Atlanta, GA to be used for making wigs for children with cancer. The patients are provided the hairpieces free of charge.
(posted) March 16th - The ORDAINED "Fiasco Tour 2003" was marred because for the first time in history The Reverend was not able to perform. Through all of his efforts, he was unable to return to the venue. He was 6 blocks away, lying on a bathroom floor in a pool of bile unable to move. SINitial reports SINdicated that he was throwing up blood. There was no verbal contact with him until the next evening, thus adding fuel to the speculative fire. While The Reverend was SINcapacitated, and therefore out of contact, the tension escalated and rumours were running rampant. ORDAINED would like to thank The Renegades Of Sluts and DOWNLOAD for performing earlier in the evening. A VERY SPECIAL THANKS goes out to Evil Ernie & Keith from DOWNLOAD for stepping up and keeping the faith of Heavy Metal alive. Evil E & Keith did their best "Death Metal Reverend" impersonations and ORDAINED, sans The Reverend, did get to perform what will forever be known as "4 fucked up crazy ass songs". The Reverend expresses his regrets about disappointing the ORDAINED and Heavy Metal fans who came to the Revival to witness the performance. ORDAINED will be performing a make-up show in the Hampton Roads area in the very near future, with special giveaways to compensate our congregation for any SINconvience caused at the Revival on March 13th.
