EVEN THOUGH THIS UPDATE MAY BE CALLED THE OFFICIAL GREG RAPOSO UPDATE I WILL CONTINUE REPORTING ON ALL EXCITING NEWS FROM MATT, FRANKIE AND JESSE. HERE ARE SOME MESSAGES FROM THE BOYS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

MATT'S MESSAGE:

Matt says "what's up" to all the fans. He is finishing up the shooting of the film he started in August called "Minesville ." We will update you with the release date and clips to view on the Internet shortly.

Matt has composed three new songs which he hopes to get on a demo shortly.

In the meantime Matt is playing midfield and forward on his varsity soccer team.

Matt would like all the fans to help him in his college search. Please send your suggestions to Matcollege01@aol.com. He would like to thank you at this time because he will try to respond to all your e-mails, but he may not have enough time.


MESSAGE FROM FRANKIE
--------------------------------------------
Hey guys this is Frankie. I just wanted to say hi to all of you once again and thank you for your continuing support throughout these times. I also want to try to keep u guys informed on things that I have been up to. I just started filming the movie "A Tale of Two Pizzas" last week, and its been a great! The cast and crew have been great which makes it an enjoyable and fun experience. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product, and hope you guys are too; although I would like to see you all out on stage again before you see me in the theaters. I'll keep in touch. Miss you guys and hope to see u soon!

Frankie


A MESSAGE FROM JESSE'S FAMILY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesse recently recorded a Charmin Jingle with Greg which most of you have heard by now. He also did a Lowes Hardware commercial that will be running soon. Rehearsals have just started for a Broadway Review in which Jesse, his mother, father and sister will be performing the first two weekends of November. Some of the shows in the review will be Oliver, The King & I, Hello Dolly, Annie Get Your Gun and the Fantasticks. (A temporary return to legit vocals -- lol) More information as to the time and place later! (on Greg's updates and JesseMcCartney.com)! Jesse's website is undergoing some changes which should be up and running within a few weeks. Jesse hopes to see you all soon
