Duck-Billed Catechist Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 IT'S FUCKING FREAKWATER, BOBBOB!!!!!!I don't get this bit. No one in this thread has explicity claimed that Freakwater is inherently worthy of some great respect (more so than other bands, etc). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 i don't know about freakwater, but you know what band has an awesome name? genghis tron. i bet nobody in their right mind texts anybody at a fucking genghis tron show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I like Freakwater and have no violent, moral concern to text messaging. It can be a very useful and productive tool if used properly. That said, you do run the risk of looking like a douchebag depending on the venue and timing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the carlos Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 is it text messaging in general or just at Freakwater shows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 is it text messaging in general or just at Freakwater shows? i imagine people communicating through interpretative hippie dancing at freakwater shows...but i've never actually heard freakwater that i'm aware of. if that isn't the case, that is a horrible band name.

myboyblue Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 is it text messaging in general or just at Freakwater shows? My perception is that it was the content of said texting at any concert. As long as those folks were enjoying themselves, no issue from my perspective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are actually pretty good. I've texted through 3 or 4 of their shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colorbylogic Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Did we ban the guy that text messages yet? Nope, still here. I've just been busy texting my friends whilst reading what y'all have to say. And frankly, I can't wait to blog about it (via text messages, of course). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colorbylogic Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What the fuck is a douche chill? Yeah, that's why I haven't felt too insulted yet... because I'm still not sure what that is...?

Party @ the Moontower Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 So Colorbylogic Zooey Deschanel is your girlfriend? She's hot. I see you love Starbucks, you had better avoid any thread concering that though, it can be dangerous! I do get annoyed when an opening band is no where near the music I come to see, but all live music (excluding gospel and new country) is an experience I enjoy. It sucks when you have to sit thru crap in order to save a good spot for the real band though. I would assume it's ok to talk or whatever thru the OB cause it's when most people get there and get settled in. I thought your blog was funny, just hope the Freakwater band doesn't shoot themselves over it.If it weren't for this thread I would never have heard of them anyway. It's not like you blogged this for the world to see, it's your blog that people choose hang out in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Das EFX was good, and invited the audience back to their bus to smoke blunts. I don't think you can ask anything more of an opening band, can you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What happens if Barack Obama texts his VP pick while I'm at a funeral. Can I look at it? Does hope trump death? This here is the best thing all day.Seconded. That's sig-worthy, mfwahl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 My observation in the short time I've been actively on this board is that threads like this usually happen on Fridays. It's a pretty good Monday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
