I'm trying to kick the guys in the ass to do this with Orange and Dean. Lazy berkeleys. Order Ov The Owl just got a deal with Orange and are super happy. They had an issue with one of their amps before a show, and a dude from orange picked it up and brought a replacement.

We'll definitely be back up your way again. There is already talk of an August tour with a REALLY good thrash band who I'm sure you're familiar with. ;)

Next time see if you can get a little closer to E'ville! Louisville, Indy, Nashville, and St. Louis are all less than 3hrs away, or I can always set something up in town and supply a place to crash. The Lexington date is tempting, but driving 7 or so hours (round trip) on a Wednesday night sounds kind of rough, especially if I plan on having a few drinks with you, which I am.

Looks like that poster could still be edited.

Oh, it was definitely mentioned...and likewise, we can probably find a spot for you to crash in Lexington. According to the dudes, they've only had to crash in the van once in 5 years (#fingerscrossed.) And thanks much for the offer. Very Kreitenstein of you!

Are you guys going to be on the radio pimpin' your show? The Razor is pretty good with local bands and giving bands a chance to get their names on the radio, if nothing else:

I just listened to Fashion Victim. I like it; it's a little past my level of metal but I think it would be fun to see you guys.

Wow! Thanks man! I may have misspoke saying the newer stuff is more metal. It's more THRASH fo sho. This song "Blood ov the Unpure" is pure late 80's thrash. Come out and I bet you'll have fun! I'll buy you a beer either way!!!

No love for StL? Next time you're making the rounds, let me know. I'll see what I can do in terms of booking. (I'm not a promo creep. I've just played in town long enough to have a couple bridges not yet burned.)

Awww man. Lotsa love. Not enough time to love them all.

ATL show moved to Caledonia Lounge in Athens. Trying to book something for Julu 5th or 6th in ATL to end the tour.

I'll have to mark the Columbus date on my calendar and try to make it.

Sweet!

From the "Life Lesson Rant" thread. Sincere apologies to those who planned on attending:

So, official as of yesterday: Tour cancelled over some bullE36 M3...which means I now have to cancel the rehearsal space I'd booked for the end of the month, I had to call chick who re-arranged her schedule so she could run the shop for two weeks, and tell her I won't need her, and good luck trying to book a show in the towns we were supposed to be playing.

OR: Egg on my face from others' lack of planning/consideration. Angrypanda.

bummer

I'm betting we could throw together a group on here to fill in for you.

Seriously though, that sucks majorly. Unfortunately, its also one of the reasons I gave up any serious consideration of becoming a professional musician many years ago. Between all the flakes, egos and addicts it just wasn't worth the effort.

Well... that sucks. Sorry man.

Super E36 M3ty. I was seriously starting to consider heading to Lexington. Oh well, maybe next time.

Tell you what, come to MN anyhow. Beer's on me!

Confirmed tonight: Orlando August 2nd with motherberkeleying HAVOK!

...for real this time.

I gotta do my hair that night.

Setting up a "your mom" joke so carefully, it berkeleying begs to be knocked down. That's true love.

Is this Friday's Orlando show still on?

Bump because I need to make my Friday plans: metal, midnight showing of Sharknado, or stay home and do my hair.

DOH! YES!!! Tonight @ Backbooth Orlando! Early show (starts @ 7:30.) Over at 11:30 to make way for dance night or whatever. Not sure when we're going on. Best guestimate is somewhere between 9-10 but no promises. All the bands are rad. Be sure and tell them at tbe door you're there to see Hot Graves!

Killer show. Good stuff. Plus afterward Mike and I got to help the headlining band hook their trailer to their van. It was just like hanging out at the track.
