MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine as issued the following update:

"Today has been a great day, started off early at my beach house, had some of my blend of coffee and headed over to the studio at 7:30 to do some work before meeting up with Pam to help her go over her coffee company.

Hey, I really want to thank all of you for participating in my coffee crew. I just talked to Dave McRobb and asked how there would be a way that those of you that are in the Mustaine Coffee Crew can chat with me on those early mornings when I am sitting in the studio with ‘nothing to do while the computers are tune-up themselves and go over the day before.’

We also talked about some forums for ideas of other charities for us to consider, and I have been trying some other coffee flavours, other roasts, and blends for the holidays coming up.

I am going to come up with a special blend for Thanksgiving and the proceeds will go to a new charity that we choose from you MCC member’s suggestions. We will give a free bag of coffee, a coffee mug, and a ‘Dave Mustaine Coffee’ t-shirt.

We are also going to have some contests and we will decide by tonight what we are going to do to have some fun this week! We will have some new film to put up from the studio build and it will be way different than the last time we built a studio since the technology has changed so much.

We are still using Digidesign’s Pro Tools and want to thank them and our rep Anthony Gordon. Also, Andy Sneap (NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY, EXODUS) is coming over on the 8th to look at the joint and tweak some last minute stuff before he comes back at the end of the month.

I have just one more day of sorting out cable and shit and then I will be able to start listening to tapes and CDs and watching DVDs and tapes to see what new stuff I came up with while I was out on the road this last – highly inspired trip!

And besides nearly dying from the yellow fever, it really was an inspired trip, which I need to pick back up on the story . . . and so I will tomorrow.

In closing, I look forward to all of the local musicians that love metal and need a great place to track that has the best gear, a great price, and comes with an old junk yard dog (me)

We are going to have a great time at this place, just as much as I will, talking to you MCC guys in the mornings coming up.

So until then, stay up real late so you will have to drink a lot of my coffee and get prepared for a great month of Virgo birthdays!!!

Ciao for now!"
