Hey there - first off we'd like to welcome you to the Megas' email newsletter - you're getting this message because you've proved your loyalty to the Megas one way or another, either by purchasing a CD or shirt from us, signing up for the list on our website, or supporting our podcast! We'll be using this newsletter to keep people up to date on the latest Megas news, whether it be upcoming shows and tour dates, info on the Mega Man 3 album we're just starting to write, or other random things, like this FREE Megas track we're giving away for the holidays! If you don't want to receive this newsletter any more, there's an unsubscribe link towards the bottom of the email.

Anyhow, now that that's out of the way, on to the megainfo!

First off, in case you weren't aware, we've been doing a podcast for the last several months - we're up to episode #13! In the latest podcast, we told everyone how to get a free copy of our latest track (a track which isn't included on our album, Get Equipped) sent directly to their email. If you haven't checked out the podcast yet, now's the time to do so! We'll be sending out the track until December 31st - after that the free song will no longer be available. You can listen to our podcast by searching for "Get Equipped with Podcast" on iTunes, by going to themegas.com/podcast (may not work in some browsers) or by subscribing to the podcast with this link: http://web.me.com/themegas/The_Megas/podcast/rss.xml

Check it out when you have a chance! And if you're already a listener, take a minute to go to iTunes and give us a review!

News item #2 - we have new shirts and zip-up hoodies in the store! Check out how happy it makes these two -

Head over to themegas.com/store and check out the new designs! We're offering FREE shipping for the holidays to everyone within the US on everything we sell, but you have to order by December 31st!

Last but not least, we're playing at MAGfest 7 in Alexandria, VA, to kick off the new year. MAGfest is the annual Music and Gaming Festival - basically a bunch of us will be taking over a hotel, playing video game concerts on 4 consecutive nights, and hanging out playing video games! Our official performance is on Thursday, January 1st, and we'll most likely be putting together an impromptu performance once or twice later in the weekend! For more info, head over to MAGfest.org.

That's all for now - get to listening to that podcast, and have a great holiday!
