"I'm trying to be fucking serious with you, and you have no right to just laugh in my face and hang up on me. I'm an easy going person, and I don't complain about much. And while what you wrote was funny, it was uncalled for and stupid. I don't give a fuck about being able to log on to that page anymore...I just don't want you writing retarded fucking shit like that. You've cancelled practice just as much as anyone else has...and your assumption that nobody wants to ever practice is bullshit. I look forward to practicing every time. I wouldn't fucking be in this band if I didn't want to be...and that goes for everyone."
Its rather fun to leave comments, and its very wonderful getting them, plus we get to say Hi too new and old friends! So Hello my friend and have a wonderful week...
Hey gents. Tina and friends are taking me to Ravinnia to hear Feist. You know I'll be there in spirit.
The Darkroom show was excellent. I'm looking forward to hearing the songs again. Mark, you gots the pipes.
Hope to see you guys at Double Door on the 23rd. We toured with Scale Model and Coltrane Motion. Very good acts. Also it will be the first full band performance of Tiny Speakers (the new band of Eric Q from The Its!)
