If you like to read tour diaries...

I look forward to wasting time at work with this. :)

I am a sucker for tour diaries.

I just changed the name. I need help with a byline.

The Unbearable Lightness of Po' Boys

(I was entertained, and I'm glad you saw TBC)

thanks! they were awesome

Nicely done, roxy. And a lot more fun than the tourspiel thread on the other board.

thanks! I'm posting unit two when i wake up tomorrow, so stay tuned.

i need a name for my blog, plz help

i will write about being in band, living in knoxville, and lolling at lindsey lohan. what fits?

aw, "Adia" isn't that bad. Good stuff Em, bookmarked.

Here's a good tour diary from Robbie Fulks, September 2001.

just left this comment:

lol omg i went to school with the damnwells, roxy.

hahaha, that was a weird scenario

woulda been even weirder if you had been able to say "hey did you guys go to bard?"

you're giving me such a jones for a good roadtrip!

reading through those makes me never want to go on the road again, kinda

I bet being in a band with at least one girl keeps things from getting as depraved as they would otherwise.

(this is probably a good thing)

Yeah right, I'm the only single one, and the only one keeping things as depraved as they are (not much)

I think I'm gonna call it "I don't feel tardy"

I read both parts earlier this week. I loved it -- especially your description of Neil ("scattering astonished lols and hysterical wtfs everywhere he goes and preaching Awesome to the youthful rockers of the world one whiskey shot at a time") and this bit: "This is a day of turmoil," Jake deduces. Good times. Everyone should read it! Part III please!

ITS COMING and THANKS

more depravity, pls.

no one fucked til week 3

thats a lie. i mean, not cause we fucked before that. because nobody really ever did. we are not that exciting, we just like our eggs over medium and our beef jerky in bags and our picks extra heavy and thats that.

rip rock music

that's too depraved for my delicate sensibilities.

lol, the insults worked :>

How did I not know you were coming to Chicago? I would have come out to see the band. ;_;

BTW, Rick Nielsen has some ownership in Piece or something and that's why his pic was up.

This tour diary is awesome and made me jealous.

^ditto

(also, is Old Style only a midwest thing??)

I love this diary.

Wow.

The first band we ever played with was Tenderloin ;)

Thank you, guys! You are the wind beneath my wings.

(and lol, PP)

Charlotte to Oxford to Louisville on consecutive days, holy shit.

I miss Oxford. Proud Larry's was my local boozeteria, saw a lot of great shows there.

It was a really nice place, one of my favorites of the tour.

(also, is Old Style only a midwest thing??)

I have only ever seen it in Louisville.

Well, and Marion, IN.

Really? Chicago is such that you specify where bars are by saying things like "it's the fourth Old Style sign past Division."

Hence no finer authority than the Queers singing "people in Chicago always brag about Old Style / before I drink that swill again, it's gonna be a while."

That's almost as brilliant a lyric as "I really think you suck, I think you really fucking smell."

unit 2 = really really entertaining

well it all is but unit 2 especially so

Thanks, Matos! It was my favorite, too.

Old Style is native to Milwaukee (of course)

LaCrosse, Wis. actually. And we don't have it on the East Coast. I grew up in Chicago and remember how Old Style bragged about "Krausening". I still don't know what that is.

Roxy, I loved reading the tour diary! So entertaining! :-D

Isn't LaCrosse home to the biggest six-pack of beer?

lol at playing in Marion, IN! My grandparents lived near there (La Fountain) - such a small town. When y'all do your west coast tour, come play at the Central in Seattle - I live 2 doors down and have floor space.

Sure thing, Jaq!

We mainly played in Marion cause so much of our singer's famlives there.

Thanks for the nice words, all.

I tried something new, cause we are not really on tour for a while. It's not to do with touring. More of that stuff will come soon, though, cause I have some stories of weekending to put down.
