too late?

scientistrock (September 22, 2008)

I'm at the bargaining stage, let me get through this.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

Let them go, they will break apart and form a more powerful Voltron.

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

...All hail Voltron.

TheOneTrueBill (September 22, 2008)

They better have recorded their part of the Teenage Bottlerocket split already.

i dp believe that i heard from a pretty reliable source that they have not.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

The Ergs! side can just be drunk and angry fans crying into an answering machine.

TheOneTrueBill (September 22, 2008)

But how do you say I miss you to an answering machine?

I see what you did there.

Yeah Papa Roach fucking blows.

So does Mountain dew.

scientistrock (September 22, 2008)

That was the answer I struggled to find.

Not until you brought them up. Thanks.

Great deathcore.

TrueBeliever (September 22, 2008)

Remember when Green Day totally ripped off one of their songs.

randomhero323 (September 22, 2008)

I feel bad for people who don't like this band

android (September 22, 2008)

It was a shame finding out that they're breaking up. I just started getting into them, too. [sad]

That song was rad!

They'd be fools not too.

Thats why I got into art in the first place.

scientistrock (September 22, 2008)

for blowjobs from Jon Daley?

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

He was planning ahead.

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

I'm a thinking man. Thats what I do. I think. And plan. Far ahead.

TraumaSponge (September 22, 2008)

Excellent pun!

MattRamone (September 22, 2008)

I'll throw in a Ramoner.

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

I have a RamBoner.

SloaneDaley (September 22, 2008)

I won't even beat them after I get drunk like that other one

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

But beating is half the charm...

SloaneDaley (September 22, 2008)

I got slapped in the face on the the subway friday night

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

Why?

SloaneDaley (September 22, 2008)

there was this drunk gilr on the subway that though she was the fucking Marquis De sade, I'm talking with my friends and she tells me to shut the fuck up so I was like "who are you? you can fuck right off" and she started to get really pissed, you knwo calling me ugly and gay and I said she'd know a thing or two about cocks up her ass.

Then she started getting all up in my face so I said she looked like she wanted to slap me and told her she should do it I'd give her a free shot, so she did. And I said "now isn't that better love". At that pioint her friends and my friends stepped in holding her back while I was laughing my ass off and then it was her stop and I was like "keep safe honey" and she started yelling at me again.

good times, I was drunk too.

scientistrock (September 22, 2008)

Drinking + public transit = the best stories. It's a shame that Boston's public transit stops at 12:30.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

No shit, on the weekends we get it open until 3. This one girl was drunk as can be, totally about to puke, the doors open and she walked to the otherside and puked on the tracks, the doors closed with all of her friends yelling as if the train is going to wait for her to get back on.

SloaneDaley (September 22, 2008)

we get 1:30, this occured around 1 so you know around that time you get the real winners club, but not the real winners club those people are waiting an hour or so to skip out on cab fair.

scientistrock (September 22, 2008)

cabbies make a killing here.

McFlynnTHM (john) (September 22, 2008)

Seriously. Sucks when a show goes late because I get to choose between missing part of the show, a $20 cab ride, or a long fucking walk.

Thank god for my bike.

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

I have a drunken story that involved a greyhound to Boston and a go go dancer.

Why do go go dancers always ride the Greyhound. Two antiquated modes of transport....

Nameless (September 22, 2008)

Dude! Don't complain.

Shit stops at around 9-10 here.

When am I coming over for dinner?

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

It could be a pot luck.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

What am I expected to bring to the table?

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

Churros.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

I like the way you think.

SloaneDaley (September 22, 2008)

actually no one comes over for dinner, since I live at home cuz of school, I've been friends with people for the better part of a decade that have never seen where I live.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

You're like a poor Batman.

SloaneDaley (September 22, 2008)

I was an out of work Burt Ward for Halloween two years ago, no one got it.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

I went as Post-Hulk Bruce Banner years ago, shirtless white dude with ripped up purple pants. Everybody thought I was homeless.

Fucking savages.

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

God damned heathens.

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

For about a decade Princess Di has been dead too.

Conspiracy much?

MattRamone (September 22, 2008)

The Ergs are breaking up because of Jeff leaving the band.

This was posted on the DOn Giovanni website: "First off, we would also like to give a special congratulations to Jeff Schroek of The Ergs! and Miranda Taylor of
Hunchback on their recent engagement!"

deadelectromix (September 22, 2008)

I can see why starting a family would take precedent over a band. Fugazi - case and point.

JayTee (September 22, 2008)

punx > family

MattRamone (September 22, 2008)

This.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

Don't say that, Fugazi is coming back... I just know it.

Hell, I let Ian into traffic a couple months ago... and I didn't hit Guy when he was crossing the street near the National Zoo.

They owe me now right?

MattRamone (September 22, 2008)

If Fugazi doesn't do at least one more show, I don't know what I'm going to do.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

I'll bring a cart full of cans or clothes, hell make it a quick set at Ft Reno... I'm not picky

mikexdude (September 22, 2008)

The National Zoo is the most worthless place ever.

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

You are mistaken... how the fuck can any place with an 'Ape House' be worthless?

mikexdude (September 22, 2008)

Everytime I go EVERYTHING is either closed or under some maintenance. Plus, I went two weeks ago and the lion exhibit was closed. :'-(

Have you ever asked for your money back at a place you get in for free?

baldsteve (September 22, 2008)

That's kind of a dick-move. I don't mind the maintenance, at least they haven't been killing animals the last couple years.

mikexdude (September 22, 2008)

Lions rule so hard.

It's okay, Steve.

They just went to the store to buy you ice cream.

They'll be back.

Ice Cream cone eating motherfucker, I am not.

allison_le_gnome (September 22, 2008)

That means one of three things:

1. It's unrelated.

2. Hunchback are breaking up too. (boo)

3. He's joining Hunchback (still obviously bad compared to having the Ergs! around but better than nothing)

MattRamone (September 22, 2008)

I was kind of pointing out how dumb the deluge was going to be, but it's still a super bummer. I mean, I'm sure they're in love and will have a wonderful family and all that, but dammit, I want more Ergs!.

scientistrock (September 22, 2008)

Well, won't this relationship potentially produce them?

Dudley_Shale (September 22, 2008)

I'm sure it'll at least produce a 7''....

Adam_K (September 22, 2008)

irl lol

Seriously. Such an obvious joke, but still.

kidentropy (September 22, 2008)

Jeff Erg's already in Hunchback.

gedgeispunk (September 22, 2008)

Will someone step up and play guitar for this band! Maybe an "Ed From Ohio" type. This band can't break up. America needs them.
