Sad Bros

dash snow died.

i saw one of his "sacer" tags in brook-brook last week and thought it said "fart". i'm real sorry about that.

anyhow, nyc is the one place where it's not a fool's errand to care about graffiti.

It's Cool, This Is All For Me

oh how great. someone find me all the straight arrows songs now.

Why Don't I Place This On Your Table?

i'm terrified by roaches. usually.

this one? i think i love him.



also, on the topic of amazing commercials...

...i love this lady. "it stinks."




also, here's something that happened.



i received a friend reqy on fb from "an organization" that has completely blown off and ignored my band.

and that's in light of a promise that "a representative" made that if we did a favor for them, they would do a favor for us.

they never returned said favor and ignored all emails we sent them.

thanks.

so, in that spirit i wanted to "ignore them back".



j-man says that's a bad idea. maybe they want to do something for us.

i said, i doubt it, i think they just want to send me event noties.



what's the first thing they do when we become friends.

send me a fucking bullshit spam about some shit show.

thanks.



and here's a bullshit spam about some show from me:



guitars record release at cactus JULY 25 5pm. please do come.

there will be free beer.

Things To Which I'm Better Suited

this is a story about the white castle drive-thru in brooklyn. stef used to live right by it. i would totally eat there right now...and white castle is teh gross.


woods are playing august 21st in austin and the 22nd in dallas. who wants to go with me? they're not coming here.


i am way too into bones lately. should i be ashamed?


so this probably would have been more relevant yesterday but here it is.



and yeah, this would have been more relevant last weekend. oops. here it is all the same.

Super Times

i miss brooklyn.


get it?

I'm sittin here writin a song about baby'z mothers who try to sue the daddies for child support.

great. so now we're back home. super. here's a round up of all the things we will miss for the next 4 months (someone fly us back out sooner to change that).



i'll definitely miss massimo. "this song is about fucking boys"



love or perish was so so so so good that night.



i don't know which is better drunk jake or sober jake.



drunk jake is pretty magic.



wha?



that merch table needs a lick.



i'm a fan of when the band moves to the floor.



stef thought i was being racist when i told her his name was "yellow". it's not my fault. now saying "automobile!?" on the subway with an accent every ten seconds, that was a little racist.



we had to take refuge in a supermarket parking lot after carrying our gear across williamsburg.



my case is the narrowest and i was drenched all but for a violin shaped patch in the middle.



stacy got a new dress.



jonny got a new shirt.



googly eye cru was up in.



caracas has the nicest back patio.



and a killer salad.



our first night there, this was outside our hotel room window. there is in fact a butt on this sign.



our last night there we stayed on the 666th floor.



jake loves rap music.



and rhcp.


and here's some choice inside jokes:

"even though daddy is takin care of the baby but the mother's just, you know, scandalous"
-and the variations:
"even though winona's got the money, she just, you know, needs the thrill"
"even though guitars is taking care of the houston, it's just, you know, lame"
"even though jonny's taking care of the bunny, cottontail just, you know, runs away"
...there were tons more...

"AUTOMOBILE!?"

"sips"

"sub nip"

"nips & sips"

"dips"

"hobes"

"rip it!"

...saying anything in the voice of the two twins from superjail...

calling stef "stefanie" (weird)

shanking with imaginary shivs

drive-by farting (this is done with the mouth from a moving car, don't be crass)

jake drinking from the beer trough and yelling "fuck you" at some guys in the worst part of dc.

jake being wasted and "straight babin'" in the back with april and stacey. "babes!!!!!!!!!!!"

"you can't say fuck you to people" "fuck you!"

"i'd like to stephanie see-less of her"

"hey, you're gettin' a phone call, wonder who it could be? oh noooooooo!" (in the voice of bruce from family guy)

"yay! mayor bee! mayor bee!"

"peepeetosin"

"pussytoppin's"

"paging steve albini, the pro tools is on the floor"


good god, there were so many more and i don't want to forget them.

after two shows in one day and way too much driving and walking, we slept in. alot.



i didn't take this picture, but we did eat here. i had the taco burger and it was the best ever.



we ate at jimmy's diner. we sat at that table with the box on it. but it was all packed and straightened up when we went there. i just took this picture from someone else, don't worry.



for dinner we went to the place where this happened.



jake got the reuben.



despite the smirk, jonny liked his reuben, and i liked mine, too.



there was a lot of salami to go around.



we were pretty tired.



but at least we made it to manitoba's. we were so zoned that we watched half of coraline with the captions on.

Bombay Gaylords

a local promoter caught us at fcdc the night before and asked us to play her weekly matinee in silver springs the next day. it makes sense.



guitars with brandon from snallygasters (dc bear punk) and a friend whose name we did not catch.



the myth, the legend, the bombay gaylord.



we then made the 3 hour drive back to new york in 6 hours thanks to holiday traffic.



but it's okay, we had some good music to listen to.



free pizza at the charleston :)



max aka old testament heroes. so fun and looks like paul rudd on top of that. http://www.myspace.com/oldtestamentheroes



handsome for a man.



we can do lo-fi.



yeah right, like jd needs a full kit.
