ROCK CRUISE

[Sarah]

The fact that they play some traditional songs about fishing and drinking rum doesn't hurt either.

Screech?

I don't think they name check it in song, but when they sing 'The Old Black Rum' I can only assume they mean the infamous Screech.

The only reason i am not signing up for this now is that if I was actually on a boat with the Weakerthans I know I would just spend my whole time keeping a slight distance that would probably end up being creepier than if I just went up and talked to them. OH MY GOODNESS.

Emma! Let's go together. I'll stalk Jay Ferg, you stalk... John Samson? I guess?

[emma]

Sounds absolutely perfect.





Um, can I borrow some money?

I'm waiting or the  Sea CRRRuise, featuring  Captain Emil Beaulieau, Merzbow, Massona, PDM, etc....
That would have to be a sign of the apocalypse.

I happen to be wearing my Weakerthans shirt right now- they just don't seem like they would be suited to a cruise to me. I guess I'm stereotyping Canadians- sorry. 

[emma]

Hey, no worries. I'm getting stereotyped all over the place around here (guys I'm in New York! It's so awesome!). My RA doesn't even know my name, I think; she just goes "Hey, CANADA!" Weird, because "Canada" is probably a more complicated name than "Emma" in the end.

Here's the thing: I think the Weakerthans, while somewhat shy-ish, would be extra fun drinkers/shuffleboard players. We already know they're curling champions, right? I can see them being fun on a cruise. Though that might just be because I am ridiculously in love with them and would hang out with them on a trash heap if that's where stuff was going on.

[AllisonLeGnome]

That's true- they do seem like they would be genuinely enthusiastic about whatever the cruise activity of the moment was (I'm sure the karaoke would go well). Certainly it would be better than the Bud Light cruise I keep seeing ads for- that just sounds absolutely terrible.

I don't know if I would enjoy a cruise. I get massively seasick. And the idea of a cruise and rock and roll somehow don't match up for me. It feels weird. But then again, cruises have always struck me as weird by themselves.

I would deal with the seasickness if either Cher, Dolly Parton, or David Bowie did a Rock Cruise. Or all of them together. Omygod.  I would die.
