Joe's Rat's Nest ...and other tales from the road.
We woke up today with a hangover. Not a hangover from being drunk, mind you, but a collective hangover of getting the very short end of a very big stick. Also - being beaten with said stick.
It all started when we went to find something to eat. Coming from the Josh Ritter show, which was the saving grace of the night, we found ourselves without many options to choose from, food wise. So we decide to drive a bit and find food near our hotel, rather than the venue.
Long story short - it turns out the place where we parked didn't take to kindly to us parking there, and booted us. In fact, it was a ticket to the tune of 200 bucks. However, the kicker is - this wasn't the city of Atlanta, this was some private douchebag who SITS in the parking lot, and waits for people to park and walk away.
Kicker number 2 comes in the fact that the parking lot was for the Ruby Tuesday's we WERE going to - but when we got to the door, we found that the restaurant closed, so we just walked across the street to a seafood places that was open.
Kicker number three is that debate had raged in the van on whether or not we should move the van - I won't say who was on what side of the debate, to protect the guilty....(ahem, *cough*Isaidweshouldmove*cough*) but I digress....
We are now getting amped up for the show - we also decided to put a little jar out at our merch table, to help pay for the 200 dollar ass fucking we got last night. Perhaps people will donate to our "We can't possible afford this" cause. We'll let you know how it goes.
SXSW went wonderfully, by the way - it was quite an experience, we got to see some killer shows, St. Vincent, Dirty Projectors, Kevin Devine, Angus and Julia Stone, more more more that I can't even remember. A BIG thank you to my friends Meaghan and Sean for letting us stay with them for the whole time we were there. Thought I do like to think we are considerate house guests, dealing with 6 smelly guys on your floor is no easy task. Also - they gave us beer. Sweet.
We also went to New Orleans, we'll post a new video of that soon. Oh! By the way, did you see the new video we posted on our page? The one where we are on the side of this rural interstate. Cool, eh?
Yes, if you are wondering, I did purposely change the subject of New Orleans. A fun time was had. That's all I'll say. Unless you buy me a beer, then I'll tell you stories - otherwise, my lips are sealed.
Last but not least - Joe woke up today with a rat's nest on his head. See? Didn't think I'd ever make it back to the title of the post, did you?
More to come.
xoxoxo,

Joe, cut that Rat's nest off your skull. Go to the barber shop and tell them you're sick of looking like an asshole. Love, Wesley Willis.
