Bumping the version number worked. I guess I wasn't aware that things in the db folder are stored in the cache. I am actually using automatic class loading and that is working perfectly fine. The echo statements are temporary and just a way for me to easily see that my code is working and what information comes with the events until I start displaying data in the actual block. Thank you for the help!
