BIGGEST SHOW OF THE CENTURY
All the rumors are true, we'll be playing a "Get off your butt and vote" show with BOYSETSFIRE at the Harmony Grange. . . Whew-hoo, this will be exciting!!
For information about Project Unity, the production company that is putting the show on, take a look here
It'll be October 30th, and I think we'll have a half hour to play.
We're going to have to promote this thing, so start telling your friends! Should be fun. . .

Umm, do you know what time and how much $$ yet? I already got the word out to some UD kids, and they want to know.
We don't have all of the details yet, but you can be sure that when we have them, so will you. We are really excited about this.
That's awesome. Where's Harmony Grange and how many people does it hold?
It's on Kirkwood Highway. that's all I know.
I just got Boysetsfire's CD and shirt for Tomorrow Come Today. I've heard it before so I already know it--the CD--and it's great! Gabe had two shirts and some CD's so he gave one of each to me--nice guy.
Aaaacccttuuualllyy.. it's in Pike Creek/Hockessin off Route 7.
Viola! http://www.angelfire.com/indie/projectunity/directions.html
And if you stare at Project Unity's site for more than a few minutes and then look away, your vision gets funky. You won't see a sailboat or anything like those 3d posters.. but it's bizarre to say the least.
On their website (project unity) it says october 30th is a holloween costume concert with bands that are not us playing. What's up with that?
That is very strange. We'll have to check into that.
very exciting... I'm sure since its a "get off your butt and vote show" I'll be inundated with various leftist rants and propaganda.
MyNym should come to see what a real liberal band looks like :)
It's meant to be bi-partisan I think. I will plan on giving my customary pro-Judge Mathis rants.
BSF. No way. Man, a signed band and everything. Do you think Nathan will remember me as the girl who drove him to get money when he was working on Jase and Darb's house? I mean there was an a lot of awkward silence and uncomfortable small talk going on. Talk about chemistry. As far as voting goes, I hope people don't vote just for the sake of voting. They should at least pick one issue and vote for the candidate who best represents them. I don't think I am voting for Bush or Kerry and Although, my candidate will not get elected, at least I will be able to have the right to complain if I don't agree with the one who did get elected. I mean I don't agree with Bush on a lot of areas and I'm sure as hell not going to vote for the uncharismatic version of Clinton. I have to vote my conscience and I think being forced to pick the lesser of two evils is a crappy waste of a vote. So, in closing my fellow americans I urge you to figure out your view on the issues and vote your beliefs. Thank you and God bless America. oh, and help control the pet population please spey or neuter your pet today.
Part of me wants to vote for Michael Badnarik but I don't know if I could really vote libetarian. Maybe I could vote constitution party.. meh.. i'll probably just vote for W.
How about Rudi Guillani (you know the used-to-be-mayor of NYC that had a name that probably wasn't spelled anything like that but sounded about the same.) I think he would make a swell president. He's my bet for 2008. I bet it will be him verse Hillary, and he'll win. He'll have my vote at least.
UGH! hillary.
Back to the show, yes it is at the Grange, and yes it is the Halloween costume party concert. To me that sounds kinda cheesey and kinda scary, but it's worth it. It's going to be fun.
Laura is recomending that we buy inflatable sumo wresteler suits and get into the holloween spirit by playing in costume. You gotta admit, it would be pretty awesome to see us all as fat as sumo wrestlers playing a rock show.
JaysonJ, I totally agree with you about the MyNym thing. I was saying that we should invite him personally so that he would get the heck off of our backs. We are like a goodie-2-shoes band compared to the others.
Collin are you trying to sic Mynym on the BSF? For shame! You don't think we have enough crazies stalking us we need one more? You know it reminds me of a skit on the Andy Dick show where he had a stalker, and then the stalker got bored with stalking Andy and quit. Crushed with rejection, Andy begged the stalker to resume stalking him. The STalker resisted until Andy brought him flowersand then agreed to stalk him again.
Blah blah vote Bush cause he says he is a CHristian blah blah vote Bush cause he is pro-life (just ignore the fact that death swirls around him like a malignant aura) he might be anti-abortion but he sure ain't prolife!
josh
Just to let you know...Perutka( Constitution Party) is pro-life and anti war in Iraq.
Perutka is also from maryland, like me.
"Blah blah vote Bush cause he says he is a CHristian blah blah vote Bush cause he is pro-life (just ignore the fact that death swirls around him like a malignant aura) he might be anti-abortion but he sure ain't prolife!"
Death happens in a WAR - I'm sorry you can't justify the war, but that's what it is...not a bloody fun escapade put in place by some crazy pro-death president. I can't help but think of the conversation Gandalf had with Frodo in LOTR (I know I know...whatever): "“I wish The Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had ever happened.”
“So do all who live to face such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”" I can totally see George Bush in Frodo's predicament - he made his decision (not solely by himself, I might add - this is not a dictatorship) and now we have to follow through with it. These people we are fighting against are TERRORISTS - what other choice do we have? In the Vice Presidential debate the other night, Edwards was saying how he didn't want to leave a huge deficit for our children to worry about. That's good, but I don't think we should want them to have to face another terrorist attack like 9/11 either.
-Rachel
So wait... I'm having a hard time here.. W is Frodo?! Dude! That explains so much!!!
The frodo analogy would make more sense to me if we were talking about the war against the taliban, which sheltered and abetted bin Laden. Iraq did not.
I don't think you can honestly say that Bush's hand was forced by al Queda to attack Iraq. That's not to say that I disagree with the reasons to go into Iraq. . .but I just don't think the analogy holds. Especially since Cheney was talking Iraq when they first got into office, prior to any 9/11 attack.
:) ok ok...it's not a perfect analogy - I knew it wasn't when I wrote it down - but words of wisdom in one circumstance can be used in others and I think the two circumstances (granted one is fictional...) are similar enough. I wouldn't limit the Taliban alone to represent the forces of evil. I would substitue 'terrorists' for 'taliban.' I know the attack on America was Bin Laden's doing, but it's true that the world is better off without these people such as Saddam Husein - I would have definitely counted him as a force of evil. So yes, you have to use your imagination with my flawed analogy :) sorry :) And really, I don't mean to pick fights with everything said against Bush or come off as that random annoying girl who posts on your message board sometimes...it's just that election times are exciting and important and well worth talking about.
Back to the topic of this thread, that's great you guys have this opportunity! I hope I can come support you all.
-Rachel
I have this empty, gnawing, depressing feeling. There is this overwhelming desire to post on this heated debate, but what’s the use. Mynym is no longer with us. God rest his soul. Does anyone else miss Mynym? I do, but don't tell that pompous prick that. He was my arch nemesis. He was the joker to my batman, the redskins to my cowboys, a comb to my dreads, he gave me purpose, he was my antithesis. What do I do now? Talk you with guys? No offense, but it has been boring since he left, none of you can ever measure of up to him. Josh, in his previous post, tried to shake things up and for that I thank him, but maybe he should join Bush’s, anything but pro-life, death swirl? The rebellious, liberal, rocker thing went out in the 90s, dude.
Ps – I’m trying to replace Mynym, with josh. Maybe next, I’ll challenge him to a fist fight? lol
Josh, You know you want him... but you can't have him. Go get your own religious freak. You can't have ours.
You have to ad mit though... People think WE are leftist!?!? That is funny stuff.
"I don't mean to pick fights with everything said against Bush or come off as that random annoying girl who posts on your message board sometimes..."
No Rachel. That's me.
Well, as MyNym pointed out collin, you are left handed, and that's pretty bad. You are opperating on the wrong side of your brain.
Rachel--
I like to read your opinions, I think everyone does! You're not the annoying girl. . .
HoSco, too funny, too funny.
Jase, I knew you'd like that. ;)
I had a really big opinion thing today about stuff we've talked about here. So instead of taking this post about a concert and turning it even more political than it started to get.. I posted my comments on my own blog.
http://hosco.blogspot.com/2004/10/election.html
Pile on the abuse! I can take it! (but at least read it first..)
look around childish the liberal lefty rocker thing is so in right now it makes me mad. Who are you thinking of, Toby frickin' Keith?
Lemme ask you Bushlovers (i know this post is about a show, but i dont care. the show will be fine without me talking about it.) Is there anything Bush could do that you would disagree with? He has executed the retarded. He has allowed his own state of Texas to be become a polluted cesspool of corporate greed. He has invaded two countries while infuriating our closest allies. You would have to show where he instituted any kind of pro-life legislation. I mean, people is he perfect?
I know, you are all oneissue voters..pro-life (with Jason it is taxes). But just because someone says he is prolife without doing anything doesn't mean spit. Hey I am no Kerry supporter but at least he answered his countries call with honorable duty and didn't hide behind his daddy
josh
I heard he was in Vietnam for four months, and then he asked to leave... and that was his career as a war hero. Is that right?
Hey there I am no one issue voter!!!!! And if I were, it certainly would not be taxes!
One thing about being a "one issue voter" -- it's not automatically a bad thing. . . I mean, what if that one issue were slavery, or "the solution" of the jewish problem? Many people have the conviction that abortion is a holocoast as well, and can't in good conscious vote for a candidate that supports it. It's not their fault that politics is such a barren land that the vote is basically between 2 people who do or believe abhorant things.
The fallacy is probably that neither candidate actually has much control over the occurances of abortion - yet they do have a large influence on other issues in our daily life - so there is where being one issue hurts the country.
Abortion rates fell while Clinton, a pro-choice politician, was president. They rose during the Reagan and Bush Sr. years, while they were both pro-life. The rates now are the lowest since Roe v Wade, which is a very good thing.
So should we cast our vote based solely on what in many ways is an academic issue? Of course they can veto or sign legislation (if there ever were any), and also appoint Supreme Court justices. . . so there is some influence. So yeah it's a tricky situation and I don't think you can just write people off if they vote based solely on it.
what did people think about the debate last night?
Puella - I have heard a lot of people who seem to have questions regarding Kerry and his war record. Here's a start for you, which talks about his medals-- which were earned on his 2nd tour of duty in Vietnam.
http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx@docID=231.html
So many people have been hitting factcheck.org that they had to disable search, but you can still browse the archives.. see where both Kerry and Bush screwed up things in the debates, too.
I am no means a Bush supporter, and I'm not a Kerry supporter either. I haven't made up my mind to vote for Kerry, but I have made up my mind not to vote for Bush. I put those reasons on my own blog rather than take up this one.
Josh - that's funny you said that about 1 issue voters, I actually said the same thing. I know a lot of people who are not looking at a complete picture and are just looking at 1 single thing. Jason is sooo a tax-voter. ;)
Oh well, in the end, everyone makes up their own minds.
First off, I did not say who I supported, be it the oil hungry, college partying, warmonger or the fair weather, flip-flop, fickle minded fool. I was just poking fun at your over-dramatized liberal, pinky commie, rocker propaganda. That’s all.
Just as a reminder, Kerry also voted for this swirling death in Iraq, no matter what he says now.
ps-jibjab.com came out with another bush-kerry sing along. check it out.
Last night Bush stated clearly that he would not institute a draft, he would keep it a volunteer oriented. “The military will be an all-volunteer army.” ~Bush Unlike Kerry, who did not say if he would or would not, all he said is that he would increase the number of people in the armed forces. "That's why, in my plan, I’d add two active duty divisions to the United States Army.”~John Kerry How is he going to do that? Can anyone say draft.
Not to totally get us off topic, but has the $, time and type of show been confirmed?
Hey,it doors open at 5. Tickets are $10, or 8 if you either wear a costume or buy them in advance. It is a halloween show, and we (TLM) have now been added to the web site.
"Hey I am no Kerry supporter but at least he answered his countries call with honorable duty and didn't hide behind his daddy"
whaaat? are we talking about the same kerry here? the kerry that made false war crimes charges against his own nation? the kerry who, after his 'honorable duty' only 3 other members of his platoon (or whatever) think he is fit to command the american forces? the kerry that got his "3 purple hearts" for superficial wounds, some of which were small enough to be treated with a simple band-aid? (not to mention lying about them to make them sound more serious)(i don't know the facts about all of them, but i know that some of his 'wounds' were because of his own stupidity...) honorable service??? i think not...
Random Guitarist, I'm going to have to ask you to specifically read the FactChecker.org article about Kerry's war service before making statements like the one you just made.
http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx@docID=231.html
It's a very non-partisan site, and I think you'll find that while he was no Action Jackson, he was no 'shot myself in the butt to get a medal' person.
Sigh.. their site has been bombed recently by tons of people, so sometimes it's flukey-- go to the archive section and just control-f to find war record. There's good stuff about Bush's national guard service as well.
no i didn't check factcheck.org...i also didn't check thousands of the other 'this is the truth' websites out there...but much of the information i've gotten was from sites posted by soldiers who served with kerry or some other credible sources...the part about the purple hearts came directly from a quote from the doctor who examined kerry and his 'wounds'. (remember, factcheck.org may be nonpartisan...but it's not the Bible or anything 8P)
correction: "the quote from the doctor who treated his 'wound'"...i don't know if it was the same doctor each time, so i don't want to suggest something not true. like i said, i don't know all the facts about each medal. but i know that some he did NOT deserve. in this case the injury was a small piece of metal that the doctor easily removed from his arm with nothing more than a pair of forceps and then 'treated' with a band-aid...and apparently kerry's story of how he got it and that of the rest of the crew didn't match...
Maybe the rest of the crew didn't see it, or maybe he is a liar. Politics bug me.
Come on, ANYBODY can get a purple heart, just takes $22.50 on eBay:

Random Guitarist -- factcheck.org has copies of all the naval records, the officers in attendance and the affidavidts they filled out. The doctor who said he did the removal was actually not on any of the naval reports. There's supposedly an explanation, but as you read further it becomes really hilariously unclear if either side is telling the complete truth.
I find the truth is usually somewhere in between.
I'm still writing in Cat Stevens.
Wow, don't check the log for a few days and lots happen! Well, this is my first year I'm able to vote. Before now, I really didn't take too much interest in politics...except that I didn't like Bill Clinton because he was a democrat or because his morals sucked. Now I think I can use better, more informed judgments or opinions because I pay attention now :) No, Bush is not perfect, that is not possible for anyone. I admire that he is open about his faith, that he has sound judgements and will not cave in to peer pressure (the peers being, oh, England, China, Russia, and every other country..no big deal, right?) I can't even fathom the responsibility being a President demands. But I can tell you, I base my decision to vote for Bush not just because of Bush alone, but also because of Cheney! In my opinion, he is far more superior to Edwards in experience and in judgement - the kind of stable personality and steady taciturn that will be of great help to a president. I don't like how people think America should be 'custom fit,' so to speak, and not backup the original principles America was founded on. It's sad that people think America has to be ever changing in it's values in order to not offend anyone who decides to come live here. If you go to an Islamic country, you do not expect them to drop their religious affiliation because you don't agree with it - why then does Kerry think we should not have 'under God' in our pledge of allegiance?! I want a president who will help make America be a strong valued, tried and true country.
Kerry's opinions have wavered too much and have seemed to changed with the popular thought of the day - coincidence? maybe...people are allowed to think the better of things, but come on, these are huge issues we are talking about (war...taxes...). Kerry said in the debate last night that the Bush campaign only started doing some things here at home because it was an election year - well I have those concerns about him. The Bush campaign hasn't changed its main stance in the last 4 years (or I guess since 9/11), and that's why I think it's important Bush is re-elected - because he knows what he's doing. Kerry with is 'wrong place, wrong time, wrong war' ideology (if that's even what he truly thinks, who knows...) will not build stronger relationships with our allies (unless he makes America become a kiss-up...) and can only make matters worse with this war. Often times doing the right thing and standing up for what you believe is right is not the popular thing! And the Bible clearly tells us this. I don't like how Kerry claims to be a Christian and supports abortion. He might say he respects life, but to continue as pro-abortion just tells me he doesn't understand Biblical principles.
There's something shady about Kerry - and I don't just mean his war record (though I must say, what I've read about it is very similar to what Random Guitarist has obviously read :)) Here's an example: Kerry had one of those front porch talks in a neighborhood. That's nice, right? Well, we got a forward written by one of the residents in that neighborhood who had a different impression. Those coming home found that they were not allowed to go into their own homes - they were blocked off. All the Bush/Cheney signs were removed from people's lawns - and Kerry actually brought in most of his own people!! The person who wrote the e-mail along with some other neighbors started chanting 'BUSH,' etc. and the Kerry people called them 'hecklers'! I would attach the e-mail, but I'm at school and aol is not working right now...if you have an interest in reading it, let me know. So anyway, yeah, Bush isn't perfect and I don't agree with everything, but on the major issues I think he's pretty close to being right on.
Time for class now, oh for joy :) Have a nice day everyone,
-Rachel
Cool. Does that email also have that really awesome cookie recipe in it? I've been trying to get my hands on that one.
Just passing through from Google, where I see mynym getting talked about.
No one really answered R's viewpoints, although there was an anti-Bush mental retard there to do so. You see how they are often scared about mental retards being executed? It is little wonder.
Yes, there is a nemesis to your mere childish mimesis.
It is best to pray before you try to eat some prey, little one.
