Yes there are house shows...Melissa should put you in touch with her friend Armando. That could possibly work.

You boys are some loud boys though...so perhaps it wouldn't work. I'm not the man to talk to on this one really.

*Pouty face*

That's a solid show in Cincinnati. I'll be there.

Count me in for D.C.

Sometimes, Ben does that to me while I'm cooking. It creeps me out.

I know she's going to be in Seattle during that time and has threatened to come out... but only if we play Assloads of Unrespect!

Yes, that would be Layla. She was going to fly out that weekend to visit a friend but I suggested that we make a female roadtrip out of it, since I too have a few old friends in Seattle that I'd like to visit.

If you wind up with two days off between Minnesota and Washington, might I suggest a day of water park action in North Dakota or Montana? I seem to come across them every time that I drive through those states and never have time to stop.

I hope that means you'll be dragging Al Sauer to the show.

It is possible that I may be bringing a companion with me whose birthday occurs the same week as mine. We could make it a double date! Except with more taunting!

Holy fuck I am tan. Would you possibly believe that my heritage is exclusively Western European? Not from the shade of brown I turn during spring or summer.

Honestly, if we or the venue dude don't figure out something by a week from today, I say we just go for it... a show with awesome bands that is unattended then a show without awesome bands that is unattended.

I'll talk to Chris and Richy about it this weekend. None of us are big fans of Portland, but it'd be fun to hang out.

Sarcasm levels will surely reach a zenith.

I think that may be very near EAA weekend, so I'm hoping that Al will have returned back from his week of airplane porn such that I can hang out with Simone and him.

What are you talking about? That was the last week of July/First week of August. He's long gone from Wisconsin.

I always thought it was the last week of August and that Pulaski Polka Days was the last week of July. Huh...

In that case, I'm dragging Al out even if I have to kidnap him.

(Who am I kidding. If Al doesn't want to go, I can't combat his adorableness. That guy is like a human kitten.)
