i celebrated...

[jason]

...my cousins 30th birthday this weekend...we went down to old gruene hall and saw wade bowen play...it was im first time goin down there, its a pretty neat place...

turns out, 2 of my cousins were wade's neighbor when they were at texas tech, and they knew him when he was still learning how to play the guitar...they said they talked to him for a long time before the concert last nite, and they tried to find me to introduce me, but my girlfriend had me occupied elsewhere....

would like to see kevin fowler or rany rogers there...

kf is playing in stephenville this friday night though....

Wade's a nice guy, I met him down in Brady at the Goat cookoff he went to high school with a girl I know. Wade and Kevin Fowler were both in San Angelo playing at different places on Thursday night. I went and saw Kevin because it wasn't as crowded.

[CHS_CG]

Randy plays here on wednesday and then kevin plays saturday night. gunna be a busy week in college station bc not only those two but tuesday night buckcherry and 3 days grace are in college station also. My friends and i might get a chili team together for chilifest this year if so we will get to meet all the bands.. we dont know who for sure is playin except we know cross canadian ragweed will be there. it would be really neat to get to meet any of the texas country bands.

[Gobbla2001]

I met Bowen after he did an acoustic deal in Victoria... thanked us for coming out...

The nicest guy on the circuit would have to be Brandon Rhyder... the dude will have a conversation with you, and when a fan slides through to get an autograph you'll think he's done, but he'll say "hold on" and finish the conversation...

but he'll damn near bum you out of cigs... should have enough dough to buy his own...

[thatsminty]

that's why you should be the one to bum cigs, derek...i mean, havent you learned anything yet?

I believe you've got me confused with another great being in this world.

okay, four and a half seconds...

[thatsminty]

:D
so, how about you ignore me and not respond to my myspace message. no, no I mean it's okay, it's not that I care or anything.

because I don't. In fact I don't care at all and the only reason I brought it up was to tell you how much I didn't care...yeah, cuz I don't

I actually watched an episode of Mythbusters that was about goldfish memory. They actually trained some to do through different obstacles and barriers. The fish actually retained information about to get through faster so they in fact may have some sort of longterm memory.

[Gobbla2001]

my computer was jacked up back then...

I came by your house but no one answered :devil:

[thatsminty]

yeah, I normally dont answer the door when I see a man on the front door step in an orange jump suit...

[Gobbla2001]

well someone had hired a stripper... had to have a costume...

[thatsminty]

even with the feet chains and handcuffs? You really went all out, especially the 20 minutes it took you from the taxi to the front door

I should have paid you extra for coming out...but I was quite entertained watching you stumble over yourself

[Gobbla2001]

the handcuffs and chains were for you... the jumpsuit had no pockets, plus I didn't want anyone stealing them so I locked 'em on myself... I was gunna get you to unlock me... shoulda seen where I hid the key...

went all out...

[thatsminty]

hahaha I have a wild guess as to where the key was "hidden"

and now I'm even MORE thankful that I didnt answer...how was my old neighbor across the street? I saw her come out and wink at you...

[Gobbla2001]

she was nice... she was in on the surprise...

she even helped unlock the cuffs and chains...


the key was in my sock... always heard you had a foot fetish... glad your old neighbor doesn't...

[thatsminty]

she actually told me the key was hidden in a pocket near your elbow, because she has a hard time finding it.

she is quite old and had forgot to keep ya'lls secret, well...a secret...

you're such a weirdo

She does like the feet.

[Gobbla2001]

well your old neighbor is a liar...

it was in my sock...

I'm never workin' in that town again...

[thatsminty]

nah, what i enjoy and actually enjoy a lot is when someone plays this song "smile" acoustic

and im listening to the song right now
gah
i love this

[Gobbla2001]

oh, and check your myspace... and that's an order

[thatsminty]

you really shouldn't fish, it's just full of a bunch of old folks homes and people with IQs much smaller than their shoe size.

it is a scary place.

[Gobbla2001]

who does that?

I would learn it for you, but if you like it I won't...

[thatsminty]

it's by weezer

it's on their green album

he did it acoustically

and gah


i enjoy it

[Gobbla2001]

I know him, I'll get him to play it for you... but you'll have to un-chain and un-cuff him, and I hear he hides his key somewhere dark and smelly...

[Gobbla2001]

ahhh, she graces the top of my comments again...

[thatsminty]

oh yeah


he has it in a drawer that sits in his closet for when he does his meditation

[Gobbla2001]

no... it's in his sock... though your old neighbor would swear it's in a secret pocket by his ear-hole...

[thatsminty]

she does grace the top of the comments
isnt she amazing?


yeah, she's a little old to be out wandering the streets alone...

[Gobbla2001]

so amanzing

[thatsminty]

;)

[Gobbla2001]

whatever... I'm done hijacking threads for the night...

check and make sure your neighbor isn't by your window again...

[thatsminty]

alright loser, check your space again...my neighbor leaves her regards

I guess you missed the show he's doing in Linden, TX in a few weeks...the venue only holds about 400 or 500 people. Maybe you missed when he played at Gruene Hall LAST MONTH (December 6th to be exact) followed by stops at Luckenbach, The Tap, and Banita DH (New Braunfels) after that. He still plays plenty of small venues...people such as yourself just fail to realize it because you've made up your minds without looking at the facts...:(

[bhtrainer]

k well first of all guy above me...i have not made up my mind about anything...pat green has always been and will always be my favorite singer ever...i own every t-shirt and have like 9 autographed pics of him....so yeah...and yeah pat green does still play small venues but not like he used to and yes i am aware that he played at gruene hall because i was there...but he used to all the time and now its very rarely...but i have not made up my mind about anything....the only thing i dont care for about him is his new music

He used to play there 2 times a year...Mid-May (after colleges let out) and then right around Thanksgiving. That's been the same pattern since at least 2000...he also did a January show in 2003 and 2004 when he did his two guy like me acoustic tours.

Also...you said this:


i went to see Pat Green...now he never plays there...hes to good for the small stuff now...

and now you're saying "yeah he still plays the small venues...but not like he used to." Make up your mind... ;)

[bhtrainer]

i hate his new music...and i hate that now hes not all about the small stuff...i hate seein him at big places like reliant for the rodeo...i am aware that he still plays relatively small places...yes sometimes...i went to see him twice in the past like 3 months...tickets were my birthday present again this year...however...hes changed...and no he rarely plays small places anymore...so yeah i did say never and that was my bad...but he really doesnt play them like he used too...

No artist really plays the small places as often as they used to...it would be dumb for them to once they start growing. The same is true for CCR, RRB, and Jack Ingram. They'll still play there a few shows a year...but 1) the venue can't afford to pay them their full amount and 2) they're making little to nothing to play the show after expenses...and often times they lose money. Somebody hears, "Oh RRB is charging $7,000 for a full band show in 2007" and think that they're making a killing. Then you start to think about the 15-20 support people they have to pay, what they make themselves, the costs of transportation, food, and lodging for a day...and you find out that the profit that they make and are able to "put back into the business" is about 5-10% of their fee. As the artists get bigger...they have to make more money to facilitate the level that they are at and continue trying to grow even more.

A few months ago he played at Blaines Pub here in front of 150 people max.

ok your defending him like hes your boifriend or somethin...dang...look ok my bad for sayin NEVER....but RARELY does he...k i dont need all those math numbers to prove anything...k so i have to go to my next class but we can finish this later...K! so chill out just because someone doesnt like the new pat green stuff is no reason for you to freak out...

I don't think you read what I wrote...cuz you sure didn't reply to it. I'm not discussing the music...I was talking about your claim that "he's too good for the small shows" when he's still playing them when he can. I also tried to explain to you WHY a band wouldn't always play small shows...evidently that part wasn't sinking in too well! ;)

have fun in class Chelsea...don't get sent to detention! ;)

[bhtrainer]

why would i get sent to d-hall?

i guess wut im tryin to say yeah the whole venue thing and i understand they cant pay him and all that...but even when he does play small venues...its different...hes not the same to watch anymore...its almost not even worth going...u ask people whats your favorite song and when they say "wave on wave" i want to slap them...they dont kno the old stuff like "nightmare" "three days" or anything...when i went to see him here on november 25th...he sucked...he played all new music...and that bothers me...i dont hate him hes still my favorite...but its not the same...the venues...the fans...they've all changed...and thats wut sucks about him now...
