Sounds good! My thought is that since this festival is indeed FREE, a bunch of folks most likely signed up not knowing if they were really going to make it or not. I'm curious to see how many people actually picked up the wristbands and show up. If we do need to stay in one place though, which one should it be?

You'll be pleasantly surprised, Ryan. Lawrence is a VERY cool town. Also very liberal, too. Not only because it's a college town, but because of its history (read up on Quantrill's raiders and the Lawrence Massacre some day). Ever since then, Lawrence was an oasis for free thought (William S. Burroughs lived there, after all). Gina and I loved living there. Only moved away due to job situations. I'd move back in a heartbeat.
Ruby, shoot me a message and I'll send you our cell numbers.

Yeah, I don't have that fancy stuff on my phone. Would you guys think there is a good chance that things won't be that crazy as far as attendance is concerned? I don't know shit about Kansas, but I have pre-conceived notions hahaha.

I don't know, it wasn't well publicized around here. So, unless they allow people to buy bracelets at the will call table, or the bars decide to let people without bracelets in, it might not be that packed.

Well, I have Twitter, but I don't have any kind of data plan on my phone (it's an older one... a dumbphone) so I won't be using text messages or Twitter that day. I'll be with Ryan Katastrophe and one other friend, though, and Ryan might. I'll have to ask him. He uses Twitter, too, but I don't think he's ever tweeted from his phone, either.

That's why we need a plan to communicate. Well, you can see the granada and the jackpot from one another so you would know if one has a line and the other doesn't. This is the one time where I hope a small town draws a small town crowd. Still excited though, and the not starting on time could benefit us. kopper said:

Good question... no idea.

Heh. Anyone else feel like you're going into this not knowing exactly WHAT to expect? Recordgrooves said:

You're right.

But that is just wishful drunk thinking on my part. So how many tix were given out to this anyways?

kopper said:

That's not gonna work, man.

Wow those are super cheap! I've installed the GFS pickups from them before and they were really amazing for the price. Otto Parts said:

If you liked the way it feld when playing it(and you got the money), get it. The sound you could always work on with changing pick-ups, the amp, the pedals. I play an 80s Squire Stratocaster and a Charvel Surfcaster and now with my 7th Fuzz-box I finally found the sound I was looking for. But anyway, good topic! I want a new guitar too and can't really afford a Dusenberg or Jazzmaster so advises and tips on cheaper brands(that still look cool, of course) are very welcome.

I just watched this and it is really good. It's the story of some guys doing what they love, of perseverance, and ultimately, of survivors. It's only a little over an hour long and it's worth your time, especially to the older folks born before 1980. The Fleshtones are, simply put, one of the greatest live rock and roll bands ever. I used to to go see the Fleshtones a lot in the late 70's/early 80's and they NEVER put on a mediocre or even merely good show...they always went full throttle and they were always great or better than great. It never took more than 2 or 3 songs until they got everybody dancin', even the most ultra-cool hipsters. and the dancin' didn't stop until the plug got pulled. A sweeter, funnier, intelligent and articulate bunch of guys you couldn't hope to find. There is no other band (as it says in the movie) that played at CBGB's in 1976 and are still together and still playing today without any interruption in between, and that's saying something. Thanks so much for posting this link!!
