[BeyondThePaleMemberMarkshire PCs:]

Who the Hel is silly enough to put something like that on their heads?

[s-m-rModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

Think about the films I’ve also been in, BTP, and the answer is abundantly clear.

For the record, and just to clarify for those who don’t know (which is most of you, granted), the plan was that I would coat the horsehead with “blackboard” type paint. Then, the audience members could decorate the horsehead with nearby abundant chalk, and I would wear it on stage for that show. The paint worked GREAT, and I’ll be sticking with this concept for a while.

But leave it to these jokers to reach the chalk first…

[CorganoParticipantMarkshire PCs:]

LOL! Need I say more? 😆

[OpinvuModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

A new Classic… and that is why SMR is a Rockstar!

Well that, and think about who was wearing the bands trademarks after the show.

It did kinda smell funny…

[s-m-rModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

Ah yes, that’s right–you did have a taste.

So when will we see those pictures, eh?

[BeyondThePaleMemberMarkshire PCs:]

As soon as someone mails my camera back to me. Shouldn’t be long at all.

[s-m-rModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

…Yes, mule, we’re at The Red & The Black on Tuesday, 9th September. For all you out-of-towners, that’s in Washington, D.C., our nation’s cesspool.

Never been there, though I hear it’s nice. Rest assured we’ll burn it all down. 🙂

[muleModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

You’ve been in D.C. before, I caught you at someplace in that city with the Mosquito Death Squadron. I remember that night because it was a Thursday night and I forgot that they shut the trains down at midnight that night, yeah it’s stupid. Anyway, i’ll be there come hell or high water.

[s-m-rModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

You’re thinking of Wonderland. We’ve also played the Velvet Lounge along with Scott Alexander, the dude who played the bassoon in NYC.

[BeyondThePaleMemberMarkshire PCs:]

As requested.

The Full Metal Roadtrip

Creation of a Set List

The best view for the ladies at the Factory was not in the front row.

Although the president of the minimal dress club DID make an effort of her own.

I swear, he was singing just for me!

This cardboard head must have been new. It didn’t smell that bad.

The mask, on the other hand, well, yeah.

Great show, sorry it took so long to get the pics up.

[muleModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

nice pics, boy do I need to start going to the hairclub for men heh..

– mule

[s-m-rModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

Hahahah!

Man, the show that night was frickin’ great. Those pics brought it all back.

I still hate that town, but it was fun while it lasted. 😮

[CorganoParticipantMarkshire PCs:]

Nice pics! But.. um… who’s who? 😀

[muleModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

Umm lets see:

3rd pic: Left to right, Brak, BTP , and Me
5th pic: Left to right, Monty and SMR
6th pic: left to right, SMR and BTP
7th pic: left to right top to bottom, Brak (in the horsehead), SMR (barely visible), BTP, Mike and then Richard (both them in the band)

I don’t see any of T though … hrmm someone was avoiding the camera

[CorganoParticipantMarkshire PCs:]

Thanks Mule! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun… So, who took home the: “president of the minimal dress club” 😛 It was SMR wasn’t it!

HA! I wish.

…I had to share the bed with the drummer that night, in this tiny-ass NYC hotel room. NOT fun. I woke up in the middle of the night crammed into roughly eight lateral inches of space on the mattress, while his head was digging into my back. Dude was sleeping DIAGONALLY.

I tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Hey Richard? Scoot over, willya?!?!”

I hate that town. 😡

Someone was holding the camera … steadily.

And I am the hand on the left in the 1st picture.

I imagine any pictures taken OF me are likely to be distorted by motion blur. 🙂

Sounds like there was a lot of trouble with Dick behind you in bed. I would hate the town too.

[s-m-rModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

On a serious note (for once), Richard left the band today. He has to hold down a job and finish school (one semester left, five classes). He’d been missing a lot of rehearsals lately, and we all felt it best that he step down.

Our current drummer slot is not finalized, though we’ve imported DrumBot200X as a sit-in until we find a completely human drummer to take the spot.

mule, the show in DC is canceled Tuesday next week. Sorry, man.

…If anyone knows any percussionists in the Baltimore Metro area willing to wear ridiculous costumes and play along to songs with titles such as:

–Don’t Let Jesus Ruin Your Day
–Big Fist
–Gimme Somethin’ I Heard Of
–Porkchops
–Toast
–Make It Rain In My Mouth
–Show Us Your Boobs, Buy Me A Beer

…don’t hesitate to send them our way. Thanks. 🙂

[muleModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

Aww sorry to hear that. Good luck finding a replacement. Can’t say I know any percushionists but if I do hear of one i’ll let you know.

[MontyKeymasterMarkshire PCs:]

Why are you telling Muddy this? Shouldn’t you be telling Monty this? 😛

[muleModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

yes I just reread that an noticed the same thing.. I must have been tired because confusing muddy and monty is like confusing christmas and halloween… heh…

– mule

[MontyKeymasterMarkshire PCs:]

I would make some smart remark here, but pretty much any holiday I used would get me condemned by some political, racial, or religious group…..Damn PC movement…..

M3C

[muleModeratorMarkshire PCs:]

I will pre-condemn you for your thought crime Monty. Remember, thought crimes lead to intent to commit real crimes and that’s a crime. Now where were we?
