GONERFEST 7

[fonpr]

fredericks: it would make my year if you showed up in memphis, rowing up the mississippi.

Yeah Baron,  I'm trying to make arrangements with Mark Twain, John Hartford and Sterling Morrison however, no one has gotten back to me, yet.

P.S. ... Hit up Graceland.



It's a kind of magic.

PSS Hit up Graceland, Too in Holly Springs. It's beyond magic.

Oh my GAWD

I have to make it this year. I know I've threatened to go the past couple of years (and I seriously meant to) but ... I haven't had a mother effing vacation in 2 years.

I've seen Guitar Wolf twice, years ago, & yeah - that's some hot shit right there. I wonder who the new Bass Wolf is?

Hey, badgrammar!!! Let's carpool from Omaha (unless we meet at MAHA & for some reason can't stand one another)!!!!

I saw Guitar Wolf once with Billy Bass Wolf and it was mind-blowing. I never thought I "might die" at a show before until seeing Guitar Wolf. Seiji almost threw an amp on me. Saw them twice after with the new "Billy" --a guy named Yuji who isn't as cool, but he's an alright bass player.

Courtney! I am totally down for a road trip if we can work it out! But yes, I guess it would depend on if/when we a) meet b) do not hate each other. Haha!

I am PSYCHED for Superchunk at 'Maha! So psyched that I really don't care about the other bands that are playing (but it will nice to see them as an added bonus)!

Graceland is awesome. I came back from visiting Memphis/Graceland and wanted to eat fried peanut butter + banana sandwiches everyday and I DID for several weeks. I'm sure you would agree IABVT, your town has AMAZING FOOD -especially if you like FRIED things (and I do)!

i've lived here as a vegetarian (currently) and a non-vegetarian.  i still don't know a thing about pork because i hate it anyway, but the food here is incredible.  in fact, where i live in midtown, you'd be hard-pressed to find any fast food (with the exception the union ave strip).

i love memphis.

Teets, when I was in Memphis I happened to get a cheeseburger at the Lamplighter. It was one of the greatest culinary experiences of my life.  When Jack Oblivian was here last year he started talking about Lamplighter cheeseburgers and I started howling like a fool.  I blew my cool.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

Huggs!  You know about the Lamplighter cheeseburger?! I love you! I love that bar; it's one of my favorites.

Listen up, people. The Lamplighter cheeseburger is legendary around these parts (while also remaining largely unknown by the greater population). If you are here, make it a point to eat one with a cheap, cold beer.

And a pointer for a trouble free visit: no cussing.

I there any camping nearby, Baron?

A K.O.A.?  Or someone's back yard?  I'm very neat and will leave the site the same condition as when I got there.

Except for where the fire-pit was located, that is.   

I assure you, the fire will be completely out when I leave!

[iAmBaronVonTito]

the guy next door will probably let you set up shop in his back yard if you're willing to do some carpentry work, fredericks.

you know, the kind you do early in the morning, on a weekend, because that's the only time i have to sleep in.

Excellent.

As broke as I am, I'm going to do everything I can to attend.
Is it feasible to get a bus from NYC? Cheap places to stay? Camping? Will it be too hot? Can I sleep in the bus station?
I'll be entering my 40th year (as i turn 39).

[Jason]

Fuck, 39 hours by train, $190 one way.

[Jason]

$166 round trip by bus. Takes between 30 and 33 hours with 3 or 4 transfers. Gulp!
Maybe I'll hitch.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

at the moment, my studio apartment suits my needs as a single; however, i wish terribly i could put every one of you up! 


...which i could (if you enjoy cramped quarters and an air mattress for a few days).

[bobby.]

You guys know you have to see So Cow!

[Chris L]

I'm thinkin' about it.
