Hey Holly!  What I meant is that this forum is just as sarcastic and ball-busting as any other could possibly be, so much so that I\'d worry about the Bort being shaken to its very roots if everyone here went over there and continued the usual antics!  See, it\'s already working.  Come on, what did you really think, that I meant we\'re gonna go over there and use all the good old AOL bots to flood the forum with posts about how great PB is?

I doubt you guys know this kid, he\'s in high school down here.  I had suspected it was him, and a friend of mine confirmed it (he said a friend of his\' brother\'s friend had been given a sticker by the kid and apprarently the kid claimed that I gave him the box (this of course, was total BS).  So I saw him at the show on Friday and confronted him and he tried to tell me the bass player (Pony) gave him the stickers.  I told him it didn\'t matter (because i knew that no one in the band had given them to him) that the band had already filed a police report, and that if he didn\'t give them to me that night that he would have cops on his doorstep in the morning.

So I followed him in my car out to his house where he happily turned them over and was very apologetic.  I\'m guessing he figured he\'d never get caught, and when he realized it was felony charge, he quickly figured out it would be best to pretend it was all a misunderstanding and give them back.

Regardless, it has no effect on my perception of Breakfast fans, as I think he\'s probably one bad apple in a bundle of beautiful people.

As for you Wolfman, ruining the Bort, I don\'t know quite where you\'re coming from or what you mean.  Thanks to all for their kind words and help!

Weird that I feel the need to preface your use of a message board...back to my usual Wednesday night antics.

I\'m more worried about the Umphreaks running scared after we show up at the Bort!  I\'d hate to ruin their board.

FYI, I recovered those stickers last night at the Brandyhouse.  Apparently the guy who had them was a big Breakfast fan.  

Show last night had some really rockin\' moments.  Good times all around.

Mother: No, my son is also named Bort.

The Bort is the umphreak message board.

See it here:

Then click on "bort"

Hey all, I was working merch for Umphrey\'s McGee at the Georgia Theater show on 3/26.  Unfortunately, after the show one of our sticker boxes was stolen.  If any of you know anything about the whereabouts of this box or if you see anyone selling Umphrey\'s McGee stickers, please contact me at hollyisbister@yahoo.com

On a brighter note, I saw the Breakfast for the first time that night and was completely blown away.  These guys don\'t mess around.  Tim is absolutely phenomenal, and a nice guy ta boot!  I am anxious to see them again this Friday in Atlanta and I will hope to meet some of you eventually.

Thanks in advance for your help!
