DANG these are great!

Once again, Thank You n2doc!

Well, why don't we? MATCH these bastards, action-for-action!!!

Why aren't we doing a better job out-thinking them?

It just amazes me.What does that say about you and your crank Bronze-Age policies - when the only way you can win is by keeping the other side from voting?

Thank you, a la izquierda! I'm hearing all kinds of great Warped Tour stories now.

We were at a band rehearsal yesterday and Josh, the other guitarist (the one with the cap and the moustache), brought two of his Warped Tour t-shirts from two of several years that he went as a fan. He's an extra-good resource now, having been there already. Our bass player, Max (handsome, long light-brown hair, looks like he could play Thor in the movie), said a friend of his asked if he was going to the Warped Tour and he said "oh YEAH!!! You BET I'm going to the Warped Tour! I'm PLAYING on the Warped Tour!" And then they both screamed and hooted and high-fived! He's Beyond-THRILLED!!! We've been dancing and jumping and hooting since last Thursday night!

Oh MAN! Thanks! We'll see what's allowed and work it as hard as we can!

I feel like we're one of those "little engines that could" THANKS, davidpdx! I HUGELY appreciate that!!! We can use all the help we can get! The "Copper Man" video has a nice big number too - "almost a million served!"

Y'know something, madrchsod - that's really all I'm hoping for.

I'd love to see them able to afford their own place to live ('cause I know they're at the age where they're dreaming of their own apartment or condo or something), be able to keep gas in their gas tanks, insurance papers in the glove compartment, phone bills paid, food in the fridge, that sort of thing. It's always been a goal of mine - to make this a financially-sustaining enterprise so they CAN be on their own and independent. That way they can keep doing it.

Thanks for checking them out! They rock pretty hard, but Michael just came up with a ballad called "Miles from Home" that I can't listen to without crying. ABSOLUTE HANDS-DOWN BEST THING he's ever written. BAR NONE. And he's come up with some rather remarkable ones already. It's freakin' GORGEOUS - heartbreakingly beautiful! As soon as it's releasable, I'll post a link here.

The one in the white shirt.

He's the "neurotic-genius band leader."

Good! I'm glad! I hope they had seconds on behalf of the waitstaff at the private dinner

where one of their brethren videotaped the 47% speech!

I'm glad. I wonder if any of the campaign workers who had their credit cards canceled something like a minute after wrongney conceded and couldn't pay for cabs home or to the airport grabbed any food before they left? He sure yanked the expensive Persian rug out from under their feet rather abruptly, too. Sheesh - the least he coulda done was to cover their return home. That would have been genuinely elegant and classy and a good way to thank them for their hard work (and I'm sure they worked like dogs). Or at least a consolation prize. Shit, Diamond Jim, the least you coulda done was help them get home! But no, they were merely "the help." So they didn't merit any special consideration. It was simply expected of them, as was fitting for their lowly station in life. Showing, once again, his true regard for that 47%.

Should show the rest of us the glaring truth here: REAL class can't be bought.

Awww Daisy! (((HEART!!!)))

Love all these, SCE! As usual! A day late, but still love 'em! (Had a long but productive day with the band rehearsal yesterday.)
