That's if our van doesn't break down again.

Hilights from the first show: three cougars hitting on me and making me sign posters with sexual innuendos, some drunk dood making me sign his gfs boobs, going to a karaoke bar afterwards with headliners and getting flocked with greasy haired emo chicks who wanted to come back to the bus.

Oh, and playing our music in front of 500+ people who danced and enjoyed our set, even if we only got about 1 foot of stage space apiece in front of tehbraverys massive setup LOL.

Supbros

Sounds like an amazing first show!

You know, I toured for eight years on and off and only in the last year figured out to always bring my own comforter and pillow. You have to sleep in so many suspect places on the road, it makes touring like 1000% better.

Last night at terminal5 some crazy tattooed punk chick in front of the stage kept yelling I WANT TO FUXK YOU at me
I would have been more flattered if she hadn't also been yelling I WANT TO **** YOUR DRUMMER also

The place was gigantic and the crowd was pretty into it for 8pm on a Thursday. I didn't see indiematthew tho.

I did see justin long, the mac in the mac vs pc commercials. He didn't buy our cd though.

I also saw some insane plastic surgery didsaster chick get totally naked and hump a stranger during the bravery tho and security kicked her out. Madness.

:-/ I posted the tour dates all over this joint.

Not too late tho! We may have 1 guest list spot if u wanna go.

I feel sick as sh@t today btw. We got to the dressing room and saw this:
A bottle of jack

Water = 0
Beer = 0
Chips and salsa = 0

Just a bottle
Needless to say we were delighted

My own fault, I came into this thread early, but haven't been back in a bit so missed the dates.

Kill it.

Thinking about stopping off in Florida off 9 somewhere before ft lauderdale...

Anyone got any info about playing certain games of chance and skill in dog tracks here? For instance is Melbourne fl a huge ghetto dump or would we be ok and not get our can stole staying there and going to play these unnamed and anonymous games.

MY impressions are all running together but it was an ok joint. Sound wasn't great and the midweek turnout was small but people seemed to have fun even for us. The best part was the dressing room which was just this huuuge upstairs woodenfloored, like, ballroom with some couches in it. After the show all the bands brought fans up there and we parties and drank late into the night with random groupies and friends. Then the owner of slows barbeque brought us ribs and chicken and it ****ing rocked.

Crap, I should visit this OOT more often, dammit. I didn't know which band you were in until too late, and I would have gone to the Denver show. Oh well.

Now that I know your band, I checked it out and dig it...nice to see Arlington's still spawning some good ****. Damn, I miss the Galaxy Hut. You ever play a DC show with a band called The Jet Age?

Okay, now I'm really **** wistful, and a bit jealous. Say hi to Lary next time you're in (I assume he still owns it). My final DC area gig was there, back in spring 2005 before moving out west. Lots of good times, lots of Chimay, lots of "grilled cheese with love" (from Alice's days).

Oh, and if the Dustys play Denver again, they can prolly stay at my place, if they're not huge ballin' Ritz Carlton types by then.

So you toured like 10 years ago? With which band? Or rather, what other bands have you been a part of in DC? Wondering whether we've crossed paths at some point.

God I feel so disconnected after being gone four years, but now I'm all reminiscing about the BC, Velvet Lounge, DC9, and a ****ton of great bands.

Aspen is extremely unlikely for me this time, especially on a weeknight, given its distance from Denver, combined with the additional distance I am north of Denver.

But if you're ever west again, I definitely want to know. Dig what I heard on myspace today.

When I toured it was in bands where I went to school in the Midwest but the other guys in my band are from a local DC punk legend the Shakedowns.

Okay, yeah, I knew of those guys, don't think I ever saw them play, or at least I don't remember it. I used to play with The Jet Age, and before that, a bunch of utterly mostly unknown bands like The Florenteens and Jealous Lover Targets. But we used to play shows with bands like Gist, The Alphabetical Order, Assrockers, and such.

Anyway, guess I need to bust out some old DC CDs tonight...
