Governor of Arkansas Digs Chow Nasty

Zac and Damon are sick (again) and Joey lost his wallet yesterday. Some good news is that Mike Beebe, the governor of Arkansas, stopped by the Rev Room to say hello, along with the first lady, Ginger. What a cool couple, huh? Yeah, that's right, Beebe has a 94% approval rating- BOOYAH!
Other highlights of our stay in Little Rock included our friend Michaela's birthday, and a soak in the hottub at Gabe's Bar, after the show. Thanks everyone. We'll see you again soon.

Austin. Yeah, It's Pretty Cool.

Actually no, it's hot as hell. During our set, it was about 94 (that's 97 degrees warmer than our show in Fargo a few days ago, if you're keeping track). Although it can be dangerous for us to play outdoors in such heat, it's nice because they younger generations can hang. Special thanks to Dave, the owner of Trophy's, for setting us up with a sweet gig.
SXSW is a place where people go to see bands that are giving it everything they've got on stage. From the biggest clubs to the smallest bars, you will not be disappointed with the effort you'll get from these up-and-coming artists (and by that I mean huge international acts). The only thing bigger than music at SXSW is the text message scene. I swear I've never seen so much text action in my entire life.
We hung out with Steve Jones, from the Sex Pistols, on his radio show Jonesy's Jukebox. He's a pretty cool dude. The rest of our time was spent drinking Lone Star and Long Island Ice Tea's with some of our old friends who were in town, along with huge record label execs and colorful radio personalities. You know, the usual.

Cheap Tickets And Nerds

The bad news is that we got a parking ticket in Lawrence while we were hanging out before the show...the good news is that it was only $2! Sure beats the 45 bucks you have to pay in our neighborhood, and we don't even have parking meters there. So, after you get the $2 ticket, you just put some cash in the envelope provided and drop it in the "Fine-O-Meter"! Brilliant!
In the hotel room we scored an HBO broadcast of Revenge of the Nerds. It was well worth the lost sleep to see this all but perfect piece of cinema excellence one more time...




Oh yeah, thanks Joe Bob.

Is This Heaven? No, It's Iowa.

What would you put in your basement if you had one?
How about a pool table and a bar...How about a couch the size of Rhode Island...
HOW 'BOUT A URNAL!!!Thank you Tommy for sharing your sweet ass basement. The HyVee was delicious, but then again, Chinese buffet for breakfast always is.

Big Fish

We didn't get to do as much fishing as I would have liked, in Minnesota, but the fishing we did do was pretty good.

Hippies Use Side Door

Got to Fargo (it was about negative 3 degrees) and we found this sign in the green room. Not sure why it was there, but I saw lots of hippies walk right threw the front door. Anyway, another unexplained phenomenon was the insane amount of dicks drawn on the wall behind Joey and Damon. I mean, there were a lot of dicks. One band even spelled it's name out with a bunch of little dicks. Yeah, we added one.

Joey Punks Rainbow Trout

On our way to Fargo, we (of course) stopped at Montana's larges trout aquarium! It was bad-ass! They had some serious lunkers swimming around in there. Joey was not intimidated by magnificent animals, though. He punked them hardcore.We learn something new about pretty much every town and state that we visit. For instance, one cool thing about Montana is that every gas station has a casino in it! Play the slots while you fill up the tank...a brilliant concept that I was not aware had been implemented into real life. I also realized that Montana does, in fact, post speed limits.
