I wish I could go. I'd probably lose my job, and I'll be damned if that happens and it's not my alcoholism that does it.

it's been almost a year since I posted in this thread, and I'm going to indulge myself again.
The jelly business is kaput, for now. Overhead is a terrible thing and I couldn't manage. I started my MBA and subsequently drinking again. All the weight is back, I'm working a gig for americorps for 200 bucks a week, and I'm trying to get some other, more viable businesses off the ground.
That guy needs some positivity.

stagecoachinferno.bandcamp.comgreat band with a local following in Louisville- It's heavy metal, but with a western theme instead of fantasy. Really, fantastically tight and strong. Also, Gorillaz put out a new thing today or so- it wasn't as good as I hoped.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=fURYmOkKWjgI can't believe I'm doing this to you all guys... I can't tell if this band is completely vapid, super clever, or both. I love them and except for Against ME! in November, this is shaping up to be the most anticipated concert of my year.

house hunting sucks. last one we had under contract was collapsing in on itself. i feel that way sometimes. life is short, i'm old, and what do i have to show for it all? a battered body and mind and a hazy recollection of majestic moments that came and went. that and 69 cents'll get ya a bag a chips I'm only 28 and I feel like I have all the hazy moments I'm ever going to have.

If a super-rad jelly mogul MBA student was looking for a place to crash between his families' thanksgiving in NYC and those three brooklyn bowl dates... would anyone have any good ideas of a place he might stay?

I can't explain my loathing for festivals except to say that I don't like that many bands, I'm poor, and I hate standing for long periods. Especially now that I don't drink and can't just waste the hours between bands I like, I'm less happy if I have to buy tickets to riot fest to see two bands (my two favorites, and I've never gotten to see against me live). I would happily drive to new york or minneapolis to see these guys one night only, but...
Ugh- to be complaining about such things makes me feel old.

We've had Denver and Chicago clues the last two days which led my girlfriend to suggest riotfest, which might also explain the delay in waiting until the 18th. I can tell you that song kick just alerted me to new shows for THS, Craig Finn, and Against Me! That got me way, way excited- but alas, just coincidence. THS, according to songkick, is playing Denver and Chicago for riot fest.

The soundtrack of "Hamilton". Non-stop. Daily for months now. No shame, I love the showtunes.

Come on Tarbell! What the fuck happened to "Stay Positive"?! I am sorry if I come across too pessimistic and rain on the parade of hope and speculation - just trying to add a some balance and equilibrium to the situation. I am staying quite positive - positive I am right and positive bigger things can potentially come of this little announcement if all goes off well. Sucks to be the adult in the room and hysterically happy children, right? I think you're on the money, Rich, but hoping against hope there's at least a nation-wide tour.

"Limited" is a sucky word, but it might mean that the tour is short enough I could just latch on and go see all of them. I wonder how I could justify that as a business expense. Anyone think they might be open to a "Positive Jams and Jellies" merch table? I have been meaning to hit the road and take samples to other places for new retail....
I guess I'm doing this! Can't wait to see the dates, and the whole scene!

It's early, but should they come to Louisville, I am happy to host any number of revelers.

HOLY SHIT. I was wrong, and I'm so happy to be wrong, and I can't wait to find excuses to travel to all the places and see all the concerts. I really, really thought THS was over. I can't wait to hear this. I can't wait to see you all.

Hoping for Franz, but "together" could also just be all of them together - without Franz We'll see. I'm tempted to think this is the correct answer.

For no other reason than I'm back on the board (like everyone else) speculating on the countdown announcement, I figured I might just throw an update on my life here for anyone reading. I've been in business almost 6 months and on the cusp of expanding into some local grocery stores. The level of stress and exhaustion in running a business isn't something you can prepare- it's all consuming. I thought I was ready, thought I had taken all the good advice, but it simply cannot be done until you are in the thick of it.
but the victories are big- the product is incredible. I feel proud of it every day. People love what they taste and I get new ideas all the time. I'm taking a few days off while I wait for jars to arrive so I can put food in them, and I'm waiting on art and labels and orders and money... I'm just sitting. I'm not good at sitting. If anyone is out there, listening- thanks. I hope there's a new tour and I get to see you soon.

I have it from a reliable source that it is indeed a BAGIA anniversary tour. Here's hoping Franz is involved. this is absolutely nothing but wishful thinking because I haven't gotten to see them live and I know that Franz has connections to them- how awesome would some dates with Against Me! be? I would literally drive anywhere in the US (and probably fly many places) for that show.

I think it's pretty clear what's going to happen now: Bobby is up tomorrow- maybe with a creature, if Creig's beard counts as a pet enough to consider the motif continued- and the tag line is "A sad time..." and then on wednesday, the boys are in a studio... "Together".

So, to update: I made it to the CF show in St. Louis some weeks ago. It was excellent, but me and my party left after he played because we're old and I'm sober. I've been working hard on starting my company so I can have money for shows and gas. Don't know what I'm looking to see next, almost made titus andronicus in richmond, but couldn't hack it.
There's a kickstarter, if anyone is interested.
I owe people samples still, trying to make good on that. Freedom is very tiring and stressful. Let me know if anyone is coming through louisville, I'm planted here permanently now.

I'm just now starting it. I'm not a hardcore fan, so a lot of the lyrics are getting lost to my untrained ears. may I suggest this link that not only has the lyrics but with annotation by Patrick Stickles himself that help explain some of his reference points: :: Genius Lyrics ::Rich... You save my ass more times than a toilet seat. You going to a show anytime soon, so's I can buy you a beer?

Steve got this gig via his Memphis connections and the fact that he is highly talented and reliably dependable both musically and socially. Man, even the rock stars are square these days. So much for trying to get rich by being addicted, poorly dressed, and some version of unkempt.

Yeah, kinda odd that they started so early. Maybe it had something to do with the venue? Hope you have better luck next time! Totally was that- city park on a Thursday. I was bummed.
