Hey all! I hope all of you had a MERRY CHRISTMAS! As you can tell, I have been soooo busy that I haven't been online at all in days! I have to tell you the truth. I am not going to be able to do that much updating for awhile but I will do my best to update the more important things like the news and any tour dates and TV dates. Some of the pages that don't need much updating will be put on hold for awhile because I just don't have the time anymore. I do apologize but I had to tell you just so that much isn't expected out of me. lol. But as a reminder, here is some TV news from the Street Team:

Tuesday, December 31st @ 10 p.m. EST on ABC. The guys will perform "These Are The Days" and "Craving."

For more info, visit:
http://abc.abcnews.go.com/specials/new_years_2003.html

THEN, if you can wake up early after all that New Year's Eve celebrating, you can catch the guys appearance in the 114th Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California on January 1st at 8 a.m. They will be on the Give Kids the World float.

Here is a sneak peek of the float:
http://ktla.trb.com/extras/ktla/roseparade/lineup/floats/033.htm

They will perform "These Are The Days." The Rose Bowl parade is broadcast on multiple networks: ABC, NBC, CBS & CABLE CHANNEL HGTV. Please check your local listings.

Hey everyone- hope you are all enjoying your holiday season and getting a much deserved winter break. Unfortunatly, since there has been a lack of updates from us we failed to mention that O-Town performed on the Ricki Lake show this past Monday. I am desperatly seeking a copy from anyone who might have taped it. If you have, please email me at playlife99@aol.com Also, I have many new things listed on the -Trade and Sell Page, plus between now and the New Year I am having a huge sale on all of my stuff so please check it out before the holidays are over. Along the same lines, O-Town will be performing (again!) on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve Party on December 31st on ABC, so check your local listings and be sure to watch. That's it for now, hopefully we'll have more this weekend.

Hey everyone! I know we have been scarce around here but you know...times are busy with the holidays! And this week has been so full for me. Let's see, My husband's birthday, our wedding anniversary and an unfortunate death in the family all took place this week and so I haven't been able to do much of anything! I am really going to try but I am sure you are all sick of my excuses! But hey they are all legit reasons! I am working on some stuff now to be posted as soon as possible but I wanted to let everyone what's been up with us and to remind you that we need to see the boys on TRL! There is a big voting campaign going on now so hopefully we will see the boys in the top 5 tomorrow! See ya soon! And please...if you have any news or articles on the guys that are recent, please email it to us and we will give you full credit for sending it to us!

Hey Guys! Yes, I am still alive and yes my computer is still broken :( sad I know! I just wanted to say hello and that I think this new layout is pretty festive and I am liken it tons! I haven't been following any O-Town news lately but I heard that last week at the Houston Jingle Jam concert Jacob performed with Nick Carter on stage. While Nick was singing his new hit single 'Help Me' Jacob was playing guitar. I thought that was awesome. Also O-Town hasn't fallen off the charts YET! Thank God right?! They are currently at number 99 on Billboard's top 200 last week they were number 103 so we still have hope! Other news... you can see O-Town on their "AOL Acoustic Session Performance" only on AOL. For AOL users, go to Keyword "Sessions" and then click on "Broadband Only: Sessions@AOL Show Kelly Osbourne, matchbox twenty, Ja Rule" (taped 11/19/02 in Los Angeles). If you would like to read about some Oversea's news please go to www.insideo-town.com thanks! Hmmm... I think that's all I have to say for now and I hope to be back soon if not I hope all you O-Town fans have a great holiday and enjoy the new year love ya tons! :)

Order your O-Town bobblehead NOW! Go to the NEWS section for more info under the December 13 updates.

It seems that the O-Town community has been quiet. Or is it just this site?! We haven't been getting that many emails or news or other submissions so I am sure we will have more time to go through things and update. But I know we haven't been the best at updating lately. We do try our best. Speaking for myself, I have been sick for the last 2 months so when I am feeling better or not as tired I try to do some work on the site. Please continue to stay with us. We know that there hasn't been much with the guys lately either. They were doing some shows but the CD has totally fallen off the charts, the video isn't doing well on TRL, etc. We have to get that boost back up and show that O-town fans are the best! So stay strong for the guys and request their song so that they can release their second single with confidence that it will do just as well. We as fans have the ability to make or break them. The more attention we give the more they give us in return. Thanks!

Can you believe it is December already?! How fast time has gone by! And just around this time last year, our website celebrated its 1 millionth hit! And I am happy to say that last week (sorry we didn't pay that much attention to it) we reached the 2 MILLION mark and then some!!! We thank all of you so much for allowing us to reach this great endeavor! Keep up the support for O-Town and the O-TFP!
UPDATES
Added a new section to the menu called "O-TFP Exclusives". It isn't much but the newest thing about it is that we added more pictures from the Hard Rock Cafe last month so look over to the menu and you will see the new section links.

Happy Turkey Day everyone! Two small tidbits, one is I now have a copy of the "These are the Days" Video available, in its entirety. If you are interested in a copy, just email me at playlife99@aol.com Also, tomorrow, November 29th, O-Town will be performing on Good Morning America! Yay! Show airs from 7:00am-9:00am, so be sure to tune in! If you are in the NYC area, stop by the studio in Times Square to show them your support! Thanks everyone, have a great Thanksgiving!

MTV finally added "These Are The Days" to their video rotation so maybe some of you will finally get to see the whole video. O-Town was number #9 on today's TRL countdown. Kinda disappointing but what can ya do except keep voting? I heard that your votes online are only counted if you include a comment in the space provided on the form and of course if you vote by phone it is worth more. So maybe tomorrow if we can't get them to number one, number 5 sounds good to me! Let's make that our goal! By the way O-Town fell off the Top 50 albums charts this week. It saddens me to even post this! :( I added 2 new Articles and hopefully this weekend I will get to update more. I have a bunch of pics to add and a new layout is still on the way. Well thats's all for now!

Hey guys! We need a favor. Who's been keeping up with TRL? If anyone can give us the day by day stats from the first time they were on we would really appreciate it. You can email us by using the form below. Thanks so much in advance. Also, I haven't been updating lately cuz I have been sick all weekend and just recooperating. But I managed to do a couple of tiny updates today:
-Pic of the Week
-Poll
-And if anyone still cares, I posted the encounter from the Hard Rock Cafe Listening Party in Chicago which was a few weeks ago. We will be adding more pics that we took to that page throughout the week.

We also need a good idea for our What Would You Do Section. I have been stumped for an idea but we want a clever one involving Trevor (because for everyone's birthday we used that member in that section for a scenario and his birthday passed and we didn't have anything) so please visit that page and submit an idea using the form at the bottom of that page. In the "What I Would Do" box, just submit your idea. Thanks!

The official Billboard chart number the guys came in at was #28. Very dissapointing for them especially because us fans have supported them as much as we could and the CD is very good! CD's that have been out for 12 weeks even sold more than than O2 did and it's very upsetting! So what we can we do? Just continue to be great fans and vote for them on TRL! They made it back on today at #8 And if you haven't gotten the CD yet, don't think it's too late! I have been reallllly busy lately but I finally got my pics back from the O-Town listening party 2 weeks ago! Here are just a few pics for now. The encounter I wrote up will be up soon also. :) Enjoy the pics but please do not take them for internet use but you are more than welcome to print them for personal use such as putting on your wall, using it in a scrapbook, or something like that.

O-Town didn't make it into the top 10 on TRL today! RAGE!!! If you haven't started voting yet then you need to start voting your butt off right NOW!!! So go and VOTE! O-Town debuted on the charts today at #27. Could be better but I think one of the reasons for sales being low was because a lot of stores did not carry a lot of copies of O2. A lot of stores sold out in only hours. Check out O-Town's latest message HERE. Well that's it till tomorrow good night!

O-Town's Sophmore album is not doing so well on the charts, see for you self at www.hitsdailydouble.com or read this article from the site:

O-Town Nosedive Without 'Making The Band' Boost
Early numbers from HitsDailyDouble.com's album charts are in and O-Town look to show the worst follow-up since Hanson with their 'O2' album. They currently limp in at #35, on pace to sell less than 55,000 units. Jay-Z looks set to clear over 600,000 units to top the charts, unseating the '8 Mile' soundtrack. *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake currently is at #5, down from #2. Christina Aguilera is clinging to the top 10 at #10.

I also have one small request (besides voting for O-Town on TRL which we all MUST do), if anyone was at the CD premiere party last night please please email me at playlife99@aol.com
Thanks to everyone who has stuck with out site for this past year, and for sticking with O-Town.

Now I have to put in my 2 cents in about the O-Town CD! It's about time the CD came out! Congrats to the guys for all their efforts and making it to this point in their careers. They did NOT make TRL today as you may have heard and that is really dissapointing! We have to make our mark as O-Town fans so please vote! And don't forget to suport O-Town's friends, Vi3! Their debut CD, "...So Tight" also came out today but only around the Chicago area (or maybe even all of Midwest?) but it will be released nationally in a couple months. But if you have access to it, go pick it up. It's been a LONG day for me so I gotta run but big ups to O-Town!
-Erika-

10:07PM EST
Whohoo! Happy O2 Day!! Like Lisa said, ya gotta get the album! It's awesome and my only complaint is there weren't enough songs on it. Of course that might just be because I had already heard half the album before today, but anywayz...we'll slave over our CD players and have color-coded lyrics and that sorta stuff for you soon. Please realize that they may not be perfect, so we'll set up a form later on where you can suggest changes to the lyrics. Thanks guys and don't forget to vote for O-Town on TRL (hint: phone calls count a lot more than voting online).
-Valerie

7:35pm CST
-Today was the day! O-Town's cd is now offically in stores and if you haven't picked it up yet then what is your problem?!!! It's ok I feel your pain if you don't have it yet, but you should really try picking it up and showing O-Town some love. Ok so O-Town wasn't on the TRL countdown today? What is up with that? The guys have faith in us and we aren't pulling through for them so maybe tommorrow we can hook them up and get them back on the countdown all you gotta do is click on the banner I made above. O-Town is going to be on Kiss tonight on Carson's most requested at 11:00 p.m. central time. Also today we are having an all day chat in celebration of O2 so drop us your comments about their new cd HERE.

-ONE MORE DAY! I set the date at the top to the 12th because I won't be able to change it until late tomorrow. Anyway, Best Buy stores (while supplies last) will be selling the CD for around $11.99 with the DVD packaged with it. (please call your local Best Buy for more info.) Or you can purchase the CD at Sam Goody with a special coupon valid 11/12-11/17. Here is the link: http://www.jrecords.com/promo/otown/.
You can get $4 off the regular price or $2 off of the sale price. You can also share the coupon with friends by sending them the link or printing it put and passing it out.

-And great news! TATD made it to #9 on TRL today! So let's push them up even higher for tomorrow!

Hey everyone! I know, I have been missing in action. Well let me tell ya! Last week, we all received word on these O-Town listening parties. Well, it so happens they are actually coming to my city and so I have been working day in and day out to find out how to get into this party. I spent hours on the phone trying to find out info and like no one was very helpful! But Lisa and I finally got to the bottom of this whole thing and we do get to go. So no more stress and I can finally get my head back on track! And thanks to everyone who helped me through it especially my other friend Lisa and Sonia. Thanks guys!

Hey guys! Sorry I am such a loser and never update. We have been totally lacking on the updating and I am truly sorry but lately all of us have been seriously busy and we had to put O-Town on hold for a little bit but I am back in action and we will try our best to bring you the latest and greatest O-Town news about their upcoming events and their new CD, which in fact hit stores in only 14 days. I am excited! How bout you?! As you guys have been hearing O-Town will be hitting some U.S. cities this upcoming week. The street team has been giving out a bunch of information about what you can do to get into this event, I bet most of you are confused on how this whole process of meeting O-Town and getting to hear their new songs and the talent contest thingie work because I sure am!

Sorry that I haven't updated too too much in the last few weeks. Unfortunately I just don't have as much time to work on it as I used to. But I am going to continue to do my best. So don't give up on us!! A few updates for now...their appearance on the Early Show on CBS scheduled for October 31 has been cancelled. They are not sure if they will reschedule at this time but we will keep you posted. But don't forget to see the guys on TRL (MTV) on November 6th as they premiere "These Are The Days"! Also, if you plan on attending one of the listening parties in one of the selected cities, call the Hard Rock Cafe in that city to get more info. It seems only the first 100 people are able to get in so it's every fan for themself! You can also bring in an audition tape of a performance for the guys to see and possibly win a contest involving trips and workshops in the entertainment field. You must be 12 years old or older to submit an audition tape which you must bring to the event that same day. Here are the locations and addresses of the listening parties:

MIAMI (November 4th / 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.)
Bayside Market Place
401 Biscayne Blvd R-200
Miami, FL 33132

CHICAGO (November 5th / 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.)
63 W. Ontario Street
Chicago, IL 60610

NEW YORK (November 6th / 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.)
221 West 57th Street
New York, NY 10019

CLEVELAND (November 7th / 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.)
230 Huron Street
Cleveland, OH 44113

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (November 8th / 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.)
Universal Studios Blvd. #99
Universal City, CA 91608

BOSTON (November 9th / 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.)
131 Clarendon Street
Boston, MA 02116

I also have to regretfully announce that the O-TFP Fan Club will be closing down. Starting October 31, we will no longer take in new members. If you have already sent in an application and we receive it by 10/31, you will still get a fan club packet. (If we receive it after that date, chances are it will be redirected back to your home.)I know there are some people who joined last month who still haven't gotten anything. That is because my computer crashed and I lost everything and I haven't been able to re do everything I made for it yet. You will get something VERY soon with an extra picture for the inconvenience. All current members will still be a part of the monthly drawing until the time their membership expires. We are just not taking any new members in anymore. We thank you for the support you have given us but the number in members has declined and it is just too much for me to keep up with. I apologize sincerely. The donations were to help us pay for our website each month but we have had to come up with new alternatives to the situation because the amount we were receiving each month wasn't covering it all. But anyways, we appreciate the ones who have joined and I promise to get a newsletter out very soon. You will all find out very soon why I have been so busy and haven't had much time to work on the site and I hope you can all understand me better then. Thanks soooooo much!

Hey all! It is just ONE month away until "O2" hits the stores so countdown on your calendar! At the beginning of this week, I told everyone that my computer died and that I'd probably hook up an old on in the meatime. Well, that didn't quite work out cuz I have dial up internet and after my PC died, my phone line died! So it hasn't been a great week for me. But now the phone is fixed and I have the old computer set up so be looking out for updates from me this weekend. We will be having a chat on November 12th so I'll follow up with details as the date approaches. For now, check out this:

Hey everyone! I must inform you that I have a slight problem. My computer DIED! I am posting this from someone's else's computer. But last Friday, my computer died and it seems my hard drive failed the test so I have to get a new one. I might be able to hook up my old (and extremely slow!) computer in the meantime so please excuse the fact that I will not be able to do much updating this week. I lost everything. Ok I know I should have saved some stuff onto disc but I had to learn the hard way. So recent fan club members please be patient because the cards I printed for the club were saved on my computer so now I have to make a new one. I'll hopefully be able to work on my older computer until I get my newer one fixed so continue to email me/us if needed. Thanks for your patience! And please continue to use our tag board! (Note to OTFP Team: Thanks for your hard work and I'll try to contact you guys soon!)

Hey everyone! I'm posting a request I have. If anyone has footage from yesterday when O-Town sang the National Anthem at the New York Mets game, I will pay big $$$ for a copy. Please, this is really kinda important to me because I was supposed to go up yesterday but my dad got sick at the last minute and couldn't take me. Please email me at playlife99@aol.com if you know of someone who has a copy, and check out all my O-Town footage on the Trade and Sell Page I have a copy of "These are the Days!"
