From the mixed up mind of the Wolf:

Top 10 Signs That Your Show Isn\'t Going to Draw Well:

10.  The opening band canceled to take a gig in Bismark.
09.  Your flyers were all hung with chewing gum.
08.  The joint does not serve alcohol.
07.  You return from a month of touring for your homecoming show, only to find that your hometown has been overrun by frogs.
06.  The movie "This is Spinal Tap" is your biography.
05.  The band playing down the road has a guy named Mick Jagger.
04.  The last time you played the venue, all 3 people at the show passed out.
03.  The age restriction is 71+.
02.  Your singer ends shows by saying, "You are the worst crowd ever! We hate you!  Go home!"
01.  You are slated to play at 6:00pm on Super Bowl Sunday in a church, there is a torrential blizzard outside, Phish and Jimmy Buffet already came through town over the weekend, and the cover is 15 confessions.  All that, plus numbers 2-10.

peace and vibes,
Wolfman

Wolfman\'s top-10 lists from the 2001-2002 era were great.  I\'m surprised the list made following the Deuce cd release party didn\'t make it.

Are there any more Yahoo group archives anywhere?  I\'d love to read some of that old stuff.

How about:

10.5  You don\'t have a website because your own grassroots coordinator killed it.  DOH!
