Have you ever noticed that people will take every opportunity to tell you how they think you should stick to the rules, but then the next minute they go ahead and break a bunch of em on their own?? Evidently it depends on WHICH rules you break. For instance, One of our band members steals an extra bag of chips EVERY TIME he goes to Subway. And another member ridicules him mercilessly for being, “A piece of shit petty thief!” But then the next day, a certain band member comes to practice and notices that much of his Hash laced Chocolate candy bar has been mysteriously eaten, and after further review he discovers that it was the very member who chastises him for thievery!!! Is this OK!!?? Hell No!! But do we all live with it…Hell yes!! Oh Well. We suppose it’s for the better good…for as the saying goes, “If he ain’t high, get him high, cuz he sucks when he’s not high…”
ANYWAYS….We down @ CHUCK’S VOODOO LOUNGE on Friday Dec. 9th for our last BBQ laced jam session of 2011, so if you’re looking to tack on just a few more lbs. before the holiday season hits full swing we highly suggest you swing thru, as the Mac and Cheese there literally killed a guy last time we played there (OK so an Ambulance showed up…we’re just assuming he died). We start around 9:30pm and play til 1am so come hang…should be fun??? Next Wednesday Parker is doing an, “Intimate acoustic show” @ BOTTLES&BOTTEGA for all the folks that’ll be in there trying to find their inner Van Gogh, so if you wanna see the lighter, quieter, side of GS you may wanna check that out. Show starts at 8:30pm. Basically people come in, sit down in front of an easel and paint…which are provided…bring a bunch of wine…and paint themselves silly while Parker sits on stage in the corner howling away. Several people have complained in the past that his singing has ruined their creative flow, but it was subsequently discovered that these people sucked donkey balls, so we discounted them…check it out?? Besides that we’ve got private Holiday parties on the 10th, and 15th, but on Dec. 16th we’ll be down at ALLEY 64 in St, Charles jammin for a new crowd of suburbanites, so if you live down that way come on out and help us loosen up the locals?? Just as incentive, if you walk up to Swedish and say, “I chief Skywalker.” He’ll buy you a shot. Promise. The next night on the 17th we’ll be up in Sheboygan, WI @ a spot called THE GREEN ROOM PUB and the same drink special plays as we’ll be popping our cherry at this spot as well!! After that we’re gonna shut down the engines for the rest of the year and crush down a bunch of Nog until just after new years when we’ll get back into the swing of things with a B day party for Patrick @ our favorite little spot on the Northside the BLUE BAYOU!! That gig is on Jan. 6th (Pat’s actual B day) @ 10 pm and you won’t wanna miss this one as the last time we played on his B day he fell off his throne during our encore (luckily we had two drummers at the time)!! Anyhow come on out and give the guy a hug and buy him a shot. It’s not easy being the world’s greatest drummer, so give him a bit of TLC eh???
Have an amazing time with your familes and friends and go ahead and buy all our shit on itunes for all your friends. We’re great stocking stuffers. In fact, if you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift, buy a bunch of fried shrimp and throw on Star Wars. Now that the Cleanse is done we’ll all swing over and get trashed on your booze and party with Skywalker for the low, low price of a buck eighty-five…
Much love,
