You know I will be there with bells on.
Now let's see if we can get Danny and Wen down there again.

[Angrist]

Asking my brother right now if he wants to come with me.

Ok, he's considering it.

I saw your show starts at 10PM. What time will it end? If we're taking the train, we'll have to leave around 0AM...

[Fox 6]

Shit yeah Ill be there.

[Typhoid]

October 29th it is.

We will have many an epic conversation again.


...Wednesday?
What the hell.

[Bube]

Damn.

[Acebot44]

November 3rd :)

[Swan]

Damn my lack of legal age

[DeathsHand]

I'd be tempted to go to the DC show if it weren't for the smoking ban in DC clubs.
What with the overwhelming scent of B.O. that now permeates the air...

And because if I even sensed that you recognized my presence, I would have to leave the venue immediately.

In my experience, European/UK shows usually start/end earlier than later. If we start at 10, our set is no longer than an hour and should be finished by 11.

[Jason1]

Your closest show to me is in Chicago...I would say its doubtful

[GameMaster]

San Francisco!

Chuck-ching!

How do GT members get to see you after the show? Won't the security personnel just toss me onto the curb?

[Angrist]

Just tell them you know the afro-guy. :D

Finished by 11, that's cool. I'm pretty sure I'll be there, but now I'm just trying to get my brother or a friend to tag along.

Oh and gz on the 5k posts!!!

[Dyne]

Oh fuck yeah, The Media Club is literally one block from Propaganda Games. :D Never been there, but I've seen a lot of photos on facebook.

We'll definitely see you there!

Also, congrats on the 5000.

[Typhoid]

Attn: Phil,

If Jonads can't get into the Media Club, that means it's +19, which means it's not all ages.

Which means we're still sticking to the rule.

Love, Sean.

[The Germanator]

San Francisco!

Chuck-ching!

Haha...Typically 300 capacity clubs aren't that strict, and I'll probably just be hanging around after the show, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[RagedHybrid]

yeahh.... well good luck on your tour. I won't be seeing it since the closest stop to Miami is Georgia

[Dyne]

Wait, what's the rule? Hahaha.

[thatmariolover]

I'm thinking about hitting the Minneapolis venue.

[Dylflon]

Too bad you're on the road again immediately after Vancouver.

How are we ever going to treat you to sushi and bubble tea?

That's easy, come early and give it to me for dinner after sound check. :)

[BreakABone]

That's easy, come early and give it to me for dinner after sound check. :)

So after your job is done, eh? :p

[Dylflon]

That's easy, come early and give it to me for dinner after sound check. :)

Sounds do-able.

[Swan]

Sounds do-able.

Minor pun

[The Germanator]

So after your job is done, eh? :p

:-o I wish I was just a tech. I'd get paid more and wouldn't even have to play the show.

[Angrist]

Oh hey Germy, will I be able to buy your new CD in Paradiso? (I can't find the thread where you told us the release date.)

Oh and do you have any Nice And Nicely Done CDs lying around? How cheap can you sell those? :p

[BreakABone]

Reading one of the local papers here at work and come across a what they are listening to this week.

And one of the albums was Spinto Band's Moonwick or something along those lines.

Unless, another Spinto Band.

the mini-write up.
With a frantic and quirky sound, these boys know how to have fun.

[Yoda9864]

I will definitely be at the High Noon Saloon in October. I look forward to it.

[The Germanator]

Sorry, I just saw this! As far as I know, we will have both CDs for sale at that time. It's a bit confusing because I know it comes out in the UK on September 22nd, but I'm not sure about the rest of Europe. We arrive in the London on the 21st and drive out/ferry to Europe so I'm not sure if we'll be able to pick up any CDs to sell by then. Either way, we'll at least have T-shirts!


--I'll see you in Madison, Yoda. Should be a good time. :)

[Angrist]

I'm still trying to covince my brother or somebody else to come with me. I'll buy my own ticket in a few days.

[Angrist]

Ok, I got the tickets. :D My brother didn't want to travel that far, so I had to ask a friend. She doesn't know you, but I'm sure she'll like it. And I showed her your myspace.

So I'll probably be there around 9. Should I ask somebody to see you, or will you be walking around or something?

[Professor S]

BTW, I think its awesome you're playing the First Unitarian in Philly. It was designed by one of my favorite architects, Frank Furness.

[The Germanator]

Yeah, the First Unitarian Church is a rad place for shows. I'm surprised we haven't played there yet actually, but I'm looking forward to it.

[The Germanator]

By 9 I'll probably be around either watching the other bands or getting ready to play. The Paradiso has a complicated dressing room, it's kind of in the basement, so if I'm not around I'm probably there. I'll definitely be out and about though.

[Angrist]

So do you want a small report or something? :D

A friend and me went to Amsterdam early, we got lost (but did not end up in the red light district), had a drink somewhere and went to Paradiso. We first walked around to see if Germy was somewhere to be found. He wasn't, so I told a woman at the reception that I was there to see one of the band members.
She asked me what my name was and I wondered if Germanator knew my irl first name. :p But I was the only one who was going to meet him, so I thought it wouldn't matter. I also hoped I remembered his first name right, Sam.

A few minutes later the woman got back with him. We talked about his tour, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, how long it had taken us to get there. How small and compact Holland is. How tired the whole band was and that they kept themselves going with espresso and beer. :D

The show was good, but I think the audience could have been a bit better at times. Like when the band told us that the following song was inspired by their last show in Paradiso (where we were).
Admittedly, some songs were better than others.

Oh, I LOVED how they kicked into Brown Boxes. :D:D First some unrecognizable guitar, then the epic kazoos. Awesome. I woohood.
I also supported Germy by asking for more of his frog sounds.

After they left, we wanted an encore so we kept clapping and cheering. Nothing came. :(

Bought both CDs from Germanator (who really is the errand boy), said goodbye.

Because of train delays, it took me 4 hours to get home.

[BreakABone]

Thank you!

Angrist agrees with me on Germy being the support/help. :D

[BlueFire]

Holy crap, I may be at your show at the Middle East club :D

[Angrist]

Germy, what were your thoughts on the show in Paradiso, Amsterdam? And how was the rest of your Euro/UK tour?

[Happydude]

WTF?! i missed it?!?!?! why was this thread not here when i looked?!

[Fox 6]

Ill be there this Wednesday

[GameMaster]

I'll be there Saturday or Sunday.

[The Germanator]

Germy, what were your thoughts on the show in Paradiso, Amsterdam? And how was the rest of your Euro/UK tour?

I love the Paradiso and Amsterdam as a city. It's my third time there and I always have a good time. It's not even a drug thing because I'm not into that. I just like the lay out of the city and the bikes and the boats and the architecture...it's just neat.

[The Germanator]

I'll be there Saturday or Sunday.

For reals? Be sure to introduce yourself and I will do likewise.

[GameMaster]

Sure. I've never been to Bottom of the Hill but I don't think it'll be too hard to find you there. I just tell security that I demand to see Sam Hughes?

[Angrist]

I just tell security that I demand to see Sam Hughes?Don't forget the "or else!!" :D

[Dylflon]

I'm working on a film the day of the concert and also acting in it so I may have to come straight to the show from set which means I'll be wearing a suit.

[Dyne]

Amazing, Sam, amazing. :)

[Fox 6]

That was a pretty sweet show.

[Dylflon]

Tell Tom thanks for the GameTavern shout out.

[BreakABone]

All these GTers... not a single photo op...

Go fig.

[Angrist]

No pics taken? Or just not posted yet?

[Dyne]

I think one of our friends took some pictures. Haven't seen them yet though.

I didn't take any because I just wanted to sit back and enjoy. :)

[Angrist]

You could sit? :eek3:

[Fox 6]

You could sit? :eek3:

The funny thing about a lounge is that it has tables.

[Swan]

The funny thing about a lounge is that it has tables.

and chairs

[Angrist]

That's funny. While I was looking for a concert of Marit Larsen in Rotterdam, I noticed the Spinto Band's performing there next Sunday.

Have fun! :D Oh and if you're close to Wageningen.... well, you probably won't. But if you are, look up my phone number or address. :p
