i read a confederacy of dunces a few years ago, and while i HATED the characters, setting and plot of the book (from a personal standpoint), the character development in it was awesome and it was written very well.

read the fountainhead by ayn rand

alternative as in the "alternative" music genre.

green is the new pink, one is the new mangler which was the new del, and indie is the new alternative

indie is the new alternative

$30-$40 is easily doable for something like that. i'd pay $80-$100 if i got to sleep on the boat and could drink my face off while watching the 2 bands.

I love that shot!!

ha, i remember that kid. whatever happened to him...last time i saw him, he was a culligan man!

before you make your final decision, take the names you have, and say each one over and over and over for about 1 min straight. then try yellin em out at the top of your lungs a few times. if you're not sick of it, and if you wouldn't mind screamin it in public , pick it. and maybe think about possible rhymes you might want to avoid. for example, my dog darius, is hilarious. (i've since aborted the word hilarious from my vocabulary when describing my dog)

hmmm hot tub with gazebo...i should me one of those

do we get to throw stones to cast off the devil this year?

if so, can someone be sure to bring lazlo?

hey smoothy, don't let the newness of the mac OS and the "i aldready know tons about pc's" thing keep you off the mac train. they're wicked. i'll never buy another pc ever again. sure i can get a kick as laptop from dell for 1-1.5G's but i'll spend the extra coin to never have to worry about anything or put any bullspit geek effort into downloading codecs and drivers and this thingamajiggy and that the way i do with my pc now.

have you ever seen new mod furniture that is sleek and sexy and COMPLETELY functional in every way? there's nothing there that doesn't need to be there and it still is amazing and looks great? if a mac were furniture, that's what kind a mac would be. hell, when jay and i lived together the mac we had looked like art with a keyboard on our coffee table.

if i put up my tshirt idea do i lose all rights to my intellectual property due to the ToS on this board? hehe

maybe you should BUY it for him...lovers do those sort of nice things for one another

hey bouche...with the response on these buttons you should really think about doing some other dry goods like shirts and crap. i have my tshirt idea.

even just sellin iron on transfers...that's way easier

bout time we got back to bidness around here.

hahahahahahaha aaaaaah hahahahaha hahahaha

Hey bouche,

Check out the tour blog on myspace, more stories (a bit on the "toned down" side due to political reasons)..

Is this about Jim the bass player?

NewRider said he say a taping rig at the private Hamilton gig at Pepper Jacks

hey brian bring your upstairs neighbour out tonight, i'm sure he'd love it.

i met this cool cat at slammin jack after keller on friday named william i think (not smoothedshredder) he was friends with hal johnson and his crew. he'd just quit smokin 3 weeks ago and had the BEST attitude towards it. he was SOO HAPPY he was quitting smoking. was looking forward to all the shit that comes with not smoking. i don't know whether he really felt that way or was trying to trick himself, but it was AWESOME. I think saying things like "i can't smoke...booo..i'm quitting smoking this sucks" and sulking only sets one up for failure.

too bad no one showed up to these shows, i doubt we'll see these boys up here again or in the near future at least. but what can i say, i didn't go either.

i suppose things like this present a bit of an issue. do you go to see the american bands that come up here even though they don't really make you lose your shit to support foreign acts so that more will come OR do you let your taste decide what you will and won't see. dilemas dilemas

When do I get my CD?

this is Newrider!

not including the openers who were also very talented boys less then 15 I think.

aren't we allowed to make fun of people?

Franti is a great person, but his music stinks...

fuckin RIGHT ON natalie!! Can't wait to dry hump you

how about health care? how about the criminal justice system? ..... how about higher education? how about immigration?

I believe Bouche answered those questions when he said "thou shalt get better services if you're rich"

Harper will fix immigration' date=' that's for sure: "Are you white? Welcome to Canada. No? Get out!" [/quote']

biggest eye roll ever

it surprises me to see a bunch of happy go lucky hippies being so god damn pesamistic
