Title: i'm leaving on a jet plane...
Post by: thatguy on July 30, 2004, 11:59:00 am
...and then getting on a big ol' bus.  
 
 in other words:  
 sorry, but no halo at curiosa for me.
 
 in more descriptive words:
 years of patience, hard work, and schmoozing on my part have paid off.  on monday morning, i will be flying to new york to meet up with the used on the projekt revolution tour.  i will be playing a utility role, sharing the duties of tour manager, security, and personal assistant.  this tour lasts about a month, and then the used have a headlining tour scheduled for the fall.  if all goes well, i'm going to be a busy boy for the next few months.
 
 while i might have time to check in now and then, i will not be able to be as active in my moderation (whatever that means) here.  the forum is in good hands, though.   if anything gets too crazy, feel free to drop me an email (thatguy@930.com), and i'll check things out.
 
 see y'all in a couple of months.
 
 p.s.:  any and all snide comments about the band or tour will be cheerfully ignored.  thanks!

No snide remarks from me.....
 
 Sounds like a cool as shit job to me. I hope you have a great time.
 
 I so wanted to crush you at halo though.

I would rather see pictures of all the hotties and read about the sexual favours they offer you to get them back-stage to meet the band.

I concur.
 Congrats, have fun, and safe travels. We'll miss you around the club while you are gone.

 it's a shame the lead guy isn't still dating kelly osborne, then you could have been in the presence of greatness.........

Under no circumstances are you to color coordinate the M&M's.

Fantastic, what a gig!  I don't even know what the hell Halo is anyway.  
 
 Enjoy, kick ass, and be kind to the ladies....

first of all, thanks to everyone for the good wishes and positive thoughts.
 
 secondly, i'll try to respond to everything.  here goes:
 
 *i haven't seen bert vomit onstage in a while.
 *there's some xbox event at the club in september.  i should be there.  maybe we can halo then.  if not, halo2 will support xbox live.  9 november.  can't wait.
 *the used are a  band (http://theused.net).  you won't like them, rhett.
 *blogging might happen.  i've got the webspace.  we'll see if i have the time and energy to journal.  i'll post here if i do.
 *most of the used's fanbase is quite young.  i don't want to think about being offered sexual favors by them.  
 *at this point, just a US tour, but i would imagine a european tour would be possible in the future.
 *i have been in the presence of kelly osbourne several times, when she was dating bert and afterwords.  she's nice enough, but nothing special.  her nanny was much more interesting to talk with.
 *i will be the one responsible for raising a fuss if the m&ms are not sorted, not the one doing the sorting.
 *i'm always kind to the ladies.  my grandmother would kick my ass if i wasn't.
 *hell yeah, i sold out.  i'll be making bank.
 *i'd love to come talk at your school.  i doubt that they'd love to have me there, though.
 *i will be working at the club when i'm not on the road.  i'm not leaving for good, just taking a sabbatical.

Now who is going to bitch at me when I DON'T park illegally in front of the club???? It just won't be the same coming from any of the other boys. The club and the patrons will miss you.
 
 Be safe, be good. Can't wait to hear all about it when you come home.

Congratulations and the very best of wishes!
 
 Hope it turns out to be an easy and enjoyable tour for you. Will be great to see the country from that vantage point. You'll do very well, I know that for sure. They are lucky to have you!
 
 I too would love to witness you speaking at Flawd's school. One of the best parts would be watching the stuffed up bitch types taking in so much gas while making so many incorrect assumptions about you and then to have you put them to shame by being your true, gentle, upstanding self teaching the character lessons that don't get through to the students by them.

Congrats big time.  While not seeing you at the club, hearing you give the speach to the crowd in line before the doors open, or listening to you tell the under age folks the 'dont drink' line for yet the 10,000th time, you can rest in the fact that you are leaving the place in very good hands.  You, Eddie, and the crew have put together the best staff of any club I have visited.  It sounds to me like it is a case of you getting a break you deserve.  See you back when its all over.  Have a blast!
