Please pay some attention to this.

I\'m going to make some necessary statements here.  they don\'t apply to everyone, and certainly not to everyone all the time.  But there were some incidents at The Stone Church both in the club and the hotel that have taken a lot of management\'s time to smooth over, and have tarnished the bands reputation up there a bit.

And certainly...whatever was said here has beeN said to the band and crew.....

But i would personally appreciate it if everyone would try to police their own and thier buds behavior at shows.  Stuff like trashed hotel rooms, too many folks on the guest list, and alchohol in areas of the club where it is not allowed  do get bounced back to us in the form of complaints from the hotel to us and the clubs promoters, threats of responsibility for either physical damage or overtime charges for staff to cleanup, and a geeral sense from the venue that "are these guys really worth it"

Obviously, I\'m not your keeper, so you all can do what you want.  I just want you to know that someone has to pay for it, and if that was to happen it would either be the band or perhaps myself.

So...could we all be a little more responsible.  And, lets keep in mind that this stuff draws attention to some of you who MIGHT happen to be underage drinkers.  And you don\'t need the spotlight.

So lets all be moderate, cool, and take care of each other so no one gets hurt physically or legally.

Geez....I hate sounding like a Republican.

The venue is definitely concerned and the hotel raised a fuss.

Of course I know that as the band gets more popular more of this will happen.   THAT however doesn\'t make it necessary, or right, or something i want the band to ber known for.

So I\'m commenting on it now.  Probably won\'t be the last time I do.

But the folks here are generally cool, intelligent, and civil...so i don\'t have a problem bringing it up.  I\'m not asking to anyone NOT to have fun.  I\'m just asking that you be considerate of the other humans you share the planet with.  Fact of the matter is that kind of behavior is probably left to a couple of underpaid housemaids to clean up.....and they have enough crap to deal with.

I don;t think I\'m asking a lot, and yes....it very musc does reflect back on the band.  This business is hard enough.  This just makes it a little harder.

I\'ve never stayed in a hotel after a Breakfast show,
:pauses, waits for boos to subside:
so let me ask a dumb question-
how the hell does the hotel know what their rowdy guests are in town for?

venue puts band up in hotel, venue gets grief from hotel, band gets grief from venue...

that wasn\'t even that bad compared to other nights I\'ve spent out. now that i think about it, that was nothing compared to other nights, there was some ruckus though.

venue puts band up in hotel, venue gets grief from hotel, band gets grief from venue...

that was the downfall, damnit, if the rain just held out we would have been allset

There was def a good deal of noise in a pretty nice hotel the room in question had rice all over the floor, bottles everywhere, a broken bottle in the bathroom, and I\'m sure there was vomitus in atleast one room, and there were def a couple people who got a little out of hand.  I have certainly seen worse, but that\'s not the point. It really is too bad that something like this happens and is reflected poorly on the band.  It just makes me glad the room in VT had absolutely nothing to do with the band, **** it wasn\'t even the same hotel.

all in all though I think the room in VT was def worse than this one (atleast the room I was in)

vomitus

hehe...I like that word :lol:

But, seriously, keep the handles of Jack at home!!!

Sooooo glad we showed up to late night/ early morn after all the crap. Just looked around and...:hscratch:...had someone stumble in right after we came in appologizing to us. Me- "Don\'t appologize to me. I had nothing to do with it!" :lol:
