With the cooperation of McGhee Entertainment and help of Marty Casey, Amy has started www.TheStreetTeamStore.com You can find all sorts of goodies here to help "spread the love" about Marty Casey and Lovehammers!
We have business cards, magnets, bumper stickers, guitar shaped key chains/bottle openers, pens, temporary tattoos, matchbooks, and wristbands. All items are bulk priced at just slightly above cost. (No profit is being made from the sale of these items. Any overage is being used to cover the costs of a graphic designer, merchant service fees, and web fees.) The prices are cheaper than if you ordered directly from the manufacturers/printers because we've ordered in bulk and passed the savings onto you. It's all about spreading the love, right?! All items ship UPS and ordering is available worldwide.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
MARTY'S BIRTHDAY
Marty has a birthday coming up on September 26th and so many fans have inquired on where to send cards for his birthday that we are collecting these now and will get them to him. If you want to participate, you need to have this to us by Sept 20 to give us enough time to get them to him. We will not open any mail sent to Marty this way...just pass them on unopened. On Fri. Sept 22nd we will be sending these off...so make sure they get in BEFORE that date. You may send your card/greeting to:
Marty Casey
c/o Cyber Sytes, Inc.
17320 Panama City Beach Parkway, Suite 203
Panama City Beach, FL 32413
We are gathering contributions for a birthday gift for our wonderful Mr. Marty Casey. Anyone who wants to give may contribute - and every little bit counts! Please give $100 or $5 or $1....whatever you'd like.
We are going to get Marty a gift certificate for him to continue being the stylish rocker that he is and always having the latest trendy clothes. We always want our rocker looking good and feeling good! The gift certificate will be from Barneys Co-op. They have about 10 stores nationwide, including a few in NY. Their website is minimal, but does list a wide variety of designers available. We all know Marty wears Earnest Sewn and True Religion jeans. Also, they sell Converse, vintage and rocker-type t-shirts, in addition to dressier clothing. Everything is high end and hip.

SITE ANNIVERSARY AND MARTY-FEST ON OUR MESSAGE BOARD:
We are celebrating the one-year anniversary of MartyCasey.org on our Message Board! On September 6, 2005, Cindy and Amy launched MartyCasey.org, giving fans the much needed Marty fix since Rockstar:INXS was winding down. Marty fans flocked to MC.org (as it soon became known) to drool over and download pics of Marty. Anyone still have those pics with the red frames? But MC.org didn't just offer pictures. We got videos, the latest news, and ways to connect with other Marty fans. It's no wonder that the site has received more than 3 million hits since its launch, and has nearly 5,000 fans on its mailing list. On September 24, we really found a new way to connect: the MC.org message board. At the MC.org message board, we are now a group of over 2,100 members.
Join us this month in celebrating more than just the launch of a site. Let's celebrate the launch of thousands of memories and friendships that will last forever. All month long the board Moderators will be giving you some special pressies and goodies. Check this board for more fun stuff. Check out the message board here: martycasey.proboards62.com/
In closing this very lengthy newsletter of updates, we have a special message to you from Marty Casey:
Well everyone, We did it. Actually you did it! The one year anniversary of martycasey.org. I believe it was September 6th, 2005 when Cindy and Amy launched this site which would eventually blow my mind when I first discovered it. I remember hearing about the site when I was sequestered in the Rockstar mansion but did not get to dig in until the days following the finale. I logged on so that I could watch my performance of "I Alone" that put me in the bottom three. I was always wondering why I got no votes for that performance. I guess it was too much screaming for the gentlemen in INXS.
I am most amazed by the relationships and connections that have been made. They started out in the virtual world with a common love of music and established themselves upon face to face meetings in cities across the country. These are REAL friendships that we have all come to rely on. I have personally never seen something so strong and authentic establish itself over a fan site. It all starts with the beautiful ladies (Cindy & Amy) that run the site. They put hours and hours of effort and creativity into giving the site a unique personality and place for us all to communicate. The Message Board moderators keep coming up with great ideas to keep everyone in tune and excited about the latest news.
I hope that the site is a positive part of your life. An exciting place to spend some time each week. I know that without this site the Lovehammers and myself would not have had half of the success. I'm praying for another great year. I continue to work hard and blow your minds with every performance. I hope that any influence I may have is a positive energy and incite you to take some risks and make good things happen for yourself.
All the best to everyone that supports martycasey.org. Thanks for a great year. Now, who's got the champagne?! It's time to celebrate!
Marty Casey
PS - Where were all of us one year ago when you discovered the site? How much have you grown over the last year? I think I have grown a lot and hopefully changed for the better.
Rock on --
