The Hold Steady

hooray!  glad you could meet your heroes, red! :)
people are nice.

Your story gave me chills red!  What a treat for you!  Thanks for sharing.

Nice one Red! Sounds like you had a beyond-your-wildest-dreams type experience there!

I got Separation Sunday and have listened to it LOADS :) Absolutely love it. I didn't realise it was a kind of concept album when I got it... But my slow mind gradually worked it out. I went from "this is a great bunch of songs", to "ya know, I thinkidink a lot of these songs are about the same people", to "right, well I'm slow. Clearly it's a concept album". Duh :)

Anyways, love it. Got a long train journey tomo so I went and picked up Almost Killed Me today and stuck it on my mp3 player ready to rock my way up from Cambridge to Edinburgh tomo!

Enjoy your memories from the shows! :)

Glad you all enjoyed reading my tale, I didn't near do it justice though.

Some wonderful person filmed a very substantial portion of the Montreal show here: http://www.trendwhore.ca/?p=16

During "Hoodrat" you can witness Galen fill a crowd members cup full of Jamieson's.  That was the girl I caught a ride with.  I was right beside her, you can definitely see my hands many times haha.

I hate living in Florida - except when its cold everywhere else.

[ratsprayer]

can't believe there's no date for ybor city.   ;)

in other news, having this much notice i'm going to do everything i can to make it to the columbus show.   :)

[red]

can't believe there's no date for ybor city.   ;)

That's good, since I told myself that I'd fly there next time they play, and I can't even dream of affording that right now.  

;D

Not sure if this has been mentioned before (a lot of posts to go back & read) but Craig writes a regular half page article in UK's UNCUT magazine. This month he talks about their UK festival experiences & what he has learned about cricket.

There's a rumour that The Boss is playing MN on November 2nd.  If that's a for sure, guess who might be catching a plane to see THS on the 1st and hoping a bus back home on the 3rd...

if thats the case, i WILL be going. i'll pick you at the airport!

for real.

[.Walt]

i hope you like coors light.  8-)

[red]

Dude, if that Boss date is a go, this is seriously happening.  I can get a very reasonable flight and a long bus ride back home would be more than okay since it'll be the weekend.

No Coors Light for this cat, strictly Fat Tire (I hear that's good).   ;D


Someone stop me, this band is overtaking me...No one?  K, good.  

[.Walt]

even if the boss isn't go, come down anyways. (you have a free place to stay)

oh and about coors light, you WILL drink what i have in the fridge, and you will like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;)

there's nothing worse than a rude guest.

Oh yes baby!
