CALL FOR ARTISTS (WE FEST)

Cammeron who is organizing this year's WE Fest sent this announcement today:
Hey everybody- we are currently looking for artists to create on the on-site art stage at wefest. There are slots available......artists of all mediums are welcome. Bring your wheel, canvas, jewelry whatever! (But unfortunately we cannot do spray paint because its indoors). Let me know if any of you guys are artists or have friends who are artists that would hitch a ride with ya and come create for a two hours at we fest! I wanna see artists from all over the country creating at the soapbox!
Thanks so much and just have the artists attach one or two photos of their work and send it to wefestival@yahoo.com
It's getting close!

Long Story Short

Hey, sorry we've been all kinds of busy either practicing, writing new stuff or playing shows. Here's a brief recap of things gone on.
So yeah, we broke down between the record store show (below) in Raleigh and the Juggling Gypsy. A tire blew apart somewhere in or near Duplin County. We ended up trying to find a gas station where I could change it and basically rode the treadless tire about five miles to scenic Calypso, NC. Changing a tire when it is 100 deg F outside is annoying. Add to that the lug nuts being about 120 deg and RUSTED on the studs. So really annoying. Anyway we called the JG and they were super nice. The Gentle Suit were playing on our equipment. Well, with the exception of my Twin Reverb amplifier which took a powder at School Kids Records. ANNOYED? YES I WAS. So we chugged down to Wilmington hoping the other dry-rotted tire didn't follow suit. It did not.

We played a really fun set following The Gentle Suit. (I wished they had played a little longer because they are all kinds of awesome.) Erlers let me use his amplifier head/cabinet. Wow, Tiny Terror. What a great amp?!

So things went pretty well despite the insane heat, tire problems. We did get to spend 3 HOURS at Wal-Mart (I know! But there were the only place we could find open on a Sunday that had our gi-normous truck tires). Thanks Wal-Nutz. I normally have a long rant about stuff like this but, no one really wants to read that. :D

I guess they were pretty happy with our performance as we will be back at the Juggling Gypsy with ANGWISH on 8/30. See you there.

Guys, c'mon..get in the truuuuck

LOLZ. We're going to be getting our rolling bake on tomorrow. The F250 Diesel that is conveying us to Raleigh & Wilmington only has 2-60 air. So if you folks down east smell something sweaty coming up from the Southern Piedmont, it aint Mayor McCheese.
