Everyone, everyone around here
Everyone is so near, what's going on?

Let me start by saying thank you to our friends who are way too nice, who continue to support us, thank you, as Stevie says, "from the bottom of my heart."
Show went amazingly well last night, well...aspects of it. We played a good show, met some super swell fellas by the name of Section Eight, and met a very kind person who is setting us up with shows, the first one being next week. If certain negative elements (including the $100 we needed to pay the sound guy; don't get me wrong, did an excellent job, but that's a lot of money) had been absent, the night would have been one of the best nights of rock I have ever been a part of. I can't stress how nice the people we met last night are, they're just super nice. And they rock. Alot. And they have a song about pirates.
The other band, well, they....
Some tips for younger bands that think they are hot shit:
you probably aren't hot shit
don't walk into a club drinking a King Cobra 40 in a bag and expect to be taken seriously
when another band has booked you to play a show, don't bitch at that band about the order
don't sneak your friends in the back and expect to be paid
don't cover Radiohead
when you load out your equipment, don't take a 10 minute break to smoke up
when you heckle the band that booked you, and then leave, don't show up later expecting to be paid
don't imply that you want us to buy you beer after doing the above
don't try to argue about the lineup during the last band especially after the above
if you feel the need to bitch after the show about how your band's name was placed next to a picture of a butterfly, perhaps you should have made your own flyers

There is more, I know I'm leaving something out.
And it wasn't a butterfly, it was a moth.
