Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    .....ok...i'll guess......it's ...."Go F*** Yourself....."........./k

GFY is a local hard rock band out of Worcester MA composed of 5 WPI
students.  After forming in 1992 the band began composing their own
material with influences over the years from Metallica, Alice & Chains,
Van Halen, Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Rush, and others.
Their music is very diverse ranging from heavy, addrenaline-pumping, in-
your-face rock to emotional, heart-bearing, harmony-filled ballads.  We
all have our own contributions to the music and song writing which adds
a diversity not found in most bands.  Since winning the College Battle of
the Bands in 1994 (Worcester) and the release of our debut CD 'dots' we
have been steadily booked at clubs throughout New England.  All of us
having either full time professional jobs or being full time students,
play music mainly for fun.  We really try to pull the crowd into the music,
have them feel all the different emotions in the songs.  But mainly we're
out to have a good time by playing to as many people as we can.  We also
find music to be a good way to contribute to the community.  We have played
benefit concerts and take money donations through the sale of our CDs for 
the United Way.  

If you would like to get a free demo CD or be added to the GFY mailing list 
send e-mail to hooker@chnrng.mko.dec.com.  Also check out our homepage on
the web at http://ee.wpi.edu/~hooker

We also play parties, weddings, and bar mitzvahs (just kidding..except for the
partys that is).

Here are some QUOTES of people who have seen us live or heard our CD:

"GFY has won over audiences with soul-baring lyrics and animated performances.
Working out their demons in front of Shane Hooker's erector set of a drum kit,
Bob Fillion, Chris Haley, and Rod Lukowski beat their guitars senseless, 
providing the perfect backdrop for Sean O'Shea's emotional vocals and frontman
antics.  Not for the faint of heart."  --Worcester Phoenix

"...for a young band they sometimes rival the mighties of Rush and Metallica
with speed and intricacy."  --Newspeak (Worcester Polytechnic Institute)

"They're a group made of raw talent..."  --Worcester Magazine

"...their music is diverse and engaging,...these winners play with inspired
energy"  --Worceter Phoenix

"..this disc will seduce you with some very chorus-rich guitar harmonies, and 
you will be powerless against it.  It will also pummel you into a bleeding pulp
with it's stop and go crunch, and you will like it." 
                                  --Music News Xpress (Springfield)

    Gee, Seems sort of worcester-ized opinion there! ;-)  JK!
    
    I'll send some mail to ya for the free CD. A friend of mines cousins
    band 'Love makin' War' has a 6 song demo tape out now. They used to do
    just all-original, but they are now also doing cover tunes. I think
    they are either playing later this month or next month (22nd comes to
    mind) at Red Square Nashua. Gonna try and catch-em live again if I can
    make it up there.

    	I think I'd go with "Gonads From Yaks"
    
    	too funny!
    

    
    	Maybe you can replace the usual concert banter ["How you all
    	f***in' doin' tonight??  Ready to f***in' party??"] with a
    	request to the audience for suggestions as to what the acronym
    	can be expanded to.  That could be alot of fun.
    

    The first couple of notes from "hooker" reek of /prc and early Mystic
    Powers notes (see 466.0 through 466.2 or so)!!

Forgive me for not doing my homework.  Although being new here is no excuse
for ignorance, I hope that you will hang in there with me on this.  After having
checked out topic #466 I would now like to reintroduce the band members to
you once again:

The SEASONED VETERAN from Agawam MA, Bob 'Garth' Fillion on lead guitar:
	Bob uses CRATE amps set on top of milk crates to provide a
	full yet still crunchy in milk sound.  He would rather be playing
	volleyball.

The SEASONED VETERAN from Stafford VA, Shane Hooker on drums:
	Shane uses drums handcrafted by the Keebler elves and drumsticks
	hand picked by Juan Valdez.  In his spare time he enjoys playdough
	sculpting.

The SEASONED VETERAN from E. Hartford CT, Chris "C.P." Haley on guitar.
	Chris exclusively uses other people's equipment and asks you to join
	him in boycotting the ACME razor company for their abusive shaving
 	of yaks.

The SEASONED VETERAN from Canton CT, Sean O'Shea on vocals.
	Sean's wardrobe consists of other people's clothes.  He may not be
	used, broadcast, or allowed to dance without the expressed written
	permission of GFY.
 
The SEASONED VETERAN from Holland MA, Rodney "Stimpy" Lukowski on bass.
	Rodney uses women for his personal pleasure.  He also uses thick
	chewed on guitar picks (for personal pleasure as well).

hooo boy..dats a lot a seasoning !
As for everyone who has sent me email about getting free demo CDs hang in
there.  They're on the way.  As for everyone else keep the comments 
coming...this stuff could get pretty funny....have a good one and GFY :)

    Bwhahhaha!!

    
    
    
    		ditto  .10
    
    
    	=)
    

    
    	Yes, now I believe we're getting a truer picture of the band.
    
    	With prc's notes, you felt like you had known the band members
    	all your life, although, for the most part, you realized that
    	you're glad you hadn't.
    

    OK, my picture of the band is getting clearer but I'm sure we all
    have some questions:
    
    1) Have you ever played EM Loews?
    
    2) Are you "international recording artists"?
    
    3) Do you "endorse" Paiste products?
    
    4) Have you ever written a heavy metal "symphony" that was actually
       in concerto form?
    
    5) Do you know what a "tempest" is and if not, have you ever used
       the word "tempest" in an original lyric?
    
    6) Are you in the habit of dropping names like "As I was speaking
       to Relativity Records last night, it occured to me that I hadn't
       posted anything in here recently so..."
    
    and last but not least:
    
    7) Have you ever "brought heavy metal back" to a town you've played in?
    

    
    
    		R	O	L	L	I	N
    

Geeez this instant celebrity stuff is startin to go to my head !!
In the last response I was asked to comment on the following questions:

DB> OK, my picture of the band is getting clearer but I'm sure we all
DB> have some questions:
    
DB> 1) Have you ever played EM Loews

	no...have you ever seen a grown man naked ?
    
DB> 2) Are you "international recording artists"?

	all the recordings were done in a small little dingy basement
	in MA...however, I do have a passport (stamped Cancun, Cayman Is.),
	speak a little Espanol (su madre duerme con toros grandes bravos),
	and have many friends (20 or more) who come from other countries.
	One could argue that I am international.  And I would think that
	writing/playing/producing an album would clasify most as a recording
	artist.  Hence, if a=b and a=c and a=b+c then a=b=c=0.    

DB> 3) Do you "endorse" Paiste products?
	
	Sorry son, I don't do drugs.  (btw, I play Zildian cymbal...Paiste
	are for wussys).
    
DB> 4) Have you ever written a heavy metal "symphony" that was actually
DB>    in concerto form?
    
	No but I did just write our newest song which is a waltz feel
	that switches from 9/8 time to 5/8 time...I'm not kidding :)

DB> 5) Do you know what a "tempest" is and if not, have you ever used
DB>    the word "tempest" in an original lyric?

	From the latin tempestas meaning a violent storm (ok ok I cheated
	and used the dictionary).  Although we do have a ballad called 
	Auburn that uses the word "plethora" in the chorus so there!
    
DB> 6) Are you in the habit of dropping names like "As I was speaking
DB>    to Relativity Records last night, it occured to me that I hadn't
DB>    posted anything in here recently so..."

	no but again I remind you that I do not use hardcore drugs...
	besides I only talk to my agent at Warner Bros :)
    
DB> and last but not least:
    
DB> 7) Have you ever "brought heavy metal back" to a town you've played in?
    	
	I didn't know heavy metal ran away.  But if I had found it and
	if the owner was caring enough to place a name tag on it then yes
	I would have brought it back.

Well I hope that answers all your questions.  Look for us coming soon:
Aug 25th 8:30 at Red Square in Nashua,NH
Dec 31st  First Night in Worcester ! 

tentative dates: Aug 19th at Club 3 in Cambridge, MA
	         Localpalooza in Worcester date ??

    Hey Shane...
    
    Since Kristy isn't here anymore I'll have to do this for her!
    
    You've failed to tell us the MOST important facts about the band.
    Do describe the members HAIR :^)
    
    /jen

    I COULD tell ya how long Shanes hair is but IM NOT GONNA DO IT! ;)
    
    SueJ
    
    

To be honest we don't much look like guys who play in a band...
we look like a bunch of ...uh I dunno engineering co-ops or something.
Well all except for me that is...I'm the only one with long hair in 
the group.  I'm just your average long-haired, backward baseball cap
wearin, beach-bum wanna be.

There's a picture of the band in our CD jacket and one on our homepage 
http://chnrng.mko.dec.com/~hooker/

I have a bunch o funny candid pictures I've been meaning to scan in
and hopefully some wave files but I haven't got around to it yet.  So 
till then you'll just have to come check out one of our gigs to see us.
I've been told we are quite entertaining...especially Sean our singer.
He has a dancing style all his own.

Laters....

Joke of the week (rather tasteless read at your own risk !)

  This guy and his buddies go to a bar.  His buddies all order a round
of beers and they start drinking and having a good time.  The guy asks
for only a glass of water.  His buddies start taunting him and ask "Why
only water?  What are you wimping out on us tonight?".  The guy replies,
"Well last night was really rough.  I drank way too much and ended up
blowing chunks."  His buddies then tried to console him by saying "Yeah
we've all done that one time or another, drank too much and ended up getting
sick."  The guy nervously replied "No you don't understand...

				...Chunks is my dog !!"

    	to check out this home page.
    

I've laughed out loud twice reading this string of notes...

Shane - you're too funny.

Any one feel like getting mellow?

    Any Other NH_Like_People Up to Goin to Red_Square on The 25th?
    
    Another few Questions,Shane....
    
    1)Is the Band into Medival_Clothes?
    
    2)Do you guys live in"The Fast_Lane"?
    
    3)Have you ever Called Some_One"A Withering Piece of Flesh"?

    >Another few Questions,Shane....
    
    >1)Is the Band into Medival_Clothes?
    
    We prefer to cover ourselves in coconut oil and wear tiger striped bikini 
    briefs over the Medieval look.  Sometimes we'll play naked only wearing
    argile socks (not on our feet of course).  Well then other times we
    just prefer to cover ourselves in dung and stage dive into the crowd.
    
    >2)Do you guys live in"The Fast_Lane"?

    We used to but then we moved our cardboard box off the highway cause
    the bastards would all the time run us over.  
    
    >3)Have you ever Called Some_One"A Withering Piece of Flesh"?
    
    No, but I once nicknamed a kid Butt Nugget and now everyone calls
    him that.

    My question:
    
    Do you have 40k blocks of harrassing material from someone in this file
    that you plan to take to Personnel? 

    Well for those of you who live in the Worcester area (that's pronounced
    Woo-staaah) tune into WCUW 91.3 FM this Thursday night.  We're gonna
    be hangin out in the station doin that interview type thing and play one 
    or two 'unplugged' songs, which should definately be interesting.  We'll 
    be givin away stuff on the air to callers, maybe even a can of Spam or two!
    So tune in around 9:30p, for the David Lyons show and you'll get a sneak 
    peek at the 'other side' of GFY.  Check ya laters....

    >  I sure hope you do "Layla" unplugged.
    
    If you do "Layla" at a show I'm at, I'll definitely unplug you.
    
    I'd rather hear "Axx Sxxxxy".
    
    	db

    I gave the CD a listen and its pretty goodd...
    Reminds me of Metallica kind of, sort of..... 8}
    
    SueJ

    That's funny, it reminded me of Candlemass.  Must have been the echo on
    the vocals.
    
    It was a lot more mellow than I expected.
    
    Ken
    

    Yeh the songs on the disc are 'mellower' than say "brick to   
    your head metal".  Three of our newest songs (not on the disc)
    are heavier and have crazy time changes and rather discruntled (pissed
    off) vocals.  The disc will not give you a complete idea as to our
    music...mainly because when we wrote those songs and recorded them
    we were still trying to identify our sound and all that sh*t.  We still
    like those songs and are proud of em, but when we play out the only
    songs off that disc that we usually play are Someday, Left, Without
    a Prayer, Vengeance, and sometimes Shoot Me.  BTW Shoot Me is meant to be
    ridiculously sarcastic and we really ham it up on the stage...sometimes
    we even cry :(  I'm hopin sometime within the year we can go back
    to the studio and record the new songs and start workin on a new album.
    With that I leave you with this deep thought:
    
    			How do you skin an elephant?
    
    
    	Take the 'R' out of car and the 'F' out of way.
    
    (this one might take a few seconds for the spelling impaired).

    I've heard that punch line before but the question was
    
       How do you get Rosanne Barr into a bikini?

    Got mine too, but got home too late to listen...
    
    Thanks,

    I haven't got my disc yet, but I did get home too late yesterday, and
    laso didn't listen to it.

    	RE: Buck
    
    	So, if you'd have gotten home early enough you would have listened
    	to it, even though you hadn't gotten it yet?
    

    Exactly !

    It defies logic !  Even if BUCK had gotten home early in time 
    to make his 9:30p flight it still doesn't give him an alibi nor
    does it explain the bloody glove !!  The prosecution will also
    show that BUCK never intended on listening to that CD regardless
    of what time he arrived nor did he EXPECT it to arrive...because
    ladies and gentlemen...he never requested a free CD  (shock..gasp)

    Yo Shane!
    
    Got the CD and plunked it into the changer in the car for the ride home
    yesterday. Itsokay. I would have tweaked the drums up a bit more in the
    earlier tunes as they seemed kind of in the background, well, I mean,
    presence. And what is this "I am Mayor McCheese" lyrics? I almost ran
    off the road laughing when I heard that! ;-)
    
    You said you wanted some feedback, I'll give ya some more when I give
    it some more spin time!

    	the double bass parts.

The double bass parts to "One"

Tim

    Re: .47
    
    Yeh that would be my biggest complaint on the recording is the
    drums.  They didn't come out very dominant (esp the bass drums).
    There's a lot of stuff goin on but you just can't hear it really.
    On headphones you can hear it better but still... 
    We had to record the drums and mix them on the fly so basically
    the drum tracks are all live...no edits or nuthin.  We just got
    them balanced (or so we thought) recorded em, then that's what
    we were stuck with.  Sucks having a budget of $0... 
    But you live and learn huh...next time the sound will be better.
    
    I think the best song on the album is Grin personally.  Best recording
    and content wise the song is great...especially if you're depressed.
    Just put that one on repeat...
    
    The Mayor McCheese is about this girl whose last name is McNeil but
    everyone called her McCheese cause she was so cheesy and fake and
    a real b*tch.
    
    Without a Prayer was inspired by this kid at our school who hung
    himself my sophomore year.  Kinda depressing too.
    
    Here's a neat thing though.  Play track 3 'left' one night while
    you're driving down the highway.  It's a real night time pitch
    black outside driving song.  You'll end up driving really fast
    or at least I do...course I drive fast anyways so nevermind...
    thanks for the input keep it comin....laters..

    For anyone interested in wasting a few minutes I placed a few

    Same here.  I'm using Mosaic.
    
    
    

    
    Get NETSCAPE - Mosaic is a bow-wow! :^)
    
    /jen

	Worked fine for me...

	Sorry, it didn't work at all....

    I created all those pages using plain hypertext so I think they
    should work for any browser.  The pictures are kinda big so it may
    just be that your browser is being lazy and not loading them the
    first pass.  Try goin there and doing a reload.  Make sure you haven't
    got an option set on your browser to prevent images from loading.
    I'm using Netscape to browse and it seems to work fine.  Sometimes
    the network gets bogged down and it won't load everything on the 
    first try.  Just see if reloading works.  Laters...
    
    Shane
    G F Y

    I think the reason some people can't see it, is because most of your
    page uses Netscape-only HTML tags. (<center>,<body background>,
    <basefont>, and inline jpg's), which doesn't work too well with 
    Mosaic.

    re: -2
    
    gee, and I thought the reason most people couldn't see it was for the
    same reason most people can't see Santa or the Easter Bunny...
    
    /jen

    CAN I BE THE ONLY SCOT WHO READS THIS OR IS THERE SOME SORT OF SECRET
    TO ACCESS
    

    Ok some people have been trouble accessing the web page.  I would
    suggest using Netscape as your browser since the files contain some
    Netscape specific instructions.  If you don't have netscape here 
    is a place you can get it:
    
    http://home.netscape.com/info/how-to-get-it.html
    
    The GFY page is at two parallel sites so if you can't access one of
    them try the other.

    http://ee.wpi.edu/~hooker/gfy/gfy.html
    
    If I can find time this week I may try to put some sound wave files
    on there this week.  And maybe some pictures of naked animals for
    LABOUNTY...would you prefer sheep or the spiny-haired three-toed
    North American hedgehog ?  Laters...

    	Hmmm ... I've never seen a naked spiny-haired three-toed North

    	Thanks!!
    

    Just a reminder that GFY will be playing at Red Square in Nashua, NH
    this Friday night at 8:30 with Prozack (the band...none of us are
    taking Prozack ourselves...not yet at least).

    I have tickets for $10.  They're like $15 at the door I think.  So if
    interested email me or somethin...and yeh we're playin there.
    
    Now for the Monday joke of the week: (not for the squeemish)
    
    A man is out in the Chinese wilderness and he's hopelessly lost. It's
    been nearly three weeks since he's eaten anything besides what he
    could forage and he's been reduced to sleeping in caves and under trees.
    One afternoon he comes upon an old mansion in the woods.  It has
    vines covering most of it and the man can't see any other buildings in
    the area. However, he sees smoke coming out of the chimney implying someone
    is home.  He knocks on the door and an old man answers, with a beard almost
    down to the ground. The old man squints his eyes and says "What do you
    want?"  The man says "I've been lost for the past three weeks and haven't
    had a decent meal or sleep since that time. I would be most gracious if
    I could have a meal and sleep in your house for tonight."
    The old Chinese man says "I'll let you come in on one condition:
    You cannot mess around with my grandaughter."
    The man, exhausted and hungry readily agrees, saying "I promise I
    won't cause you any trouble. I'll be on my way tomorrow morning."
    The old Chinese man counters "Ok, but if I do catch you then I'll
    give you the three worst Chinese torture tests ever known to man."
    "Ok, ok," the man said as he entered the old house.  Besides, he
    thought to himself, what kind of woman would live out in the wilderness all
    her life? Well, that night, when the man came down to eat (after
    showering), he saw how beautiful the grandaughter was. She was an absolute
    pearl, and while he had only been lost three weeks, it had been many, many
    months without companionship. And the girl had only seen the occasional 
    monk besides her grandfather and well, they both couldn't keep their eyes 
    off each other throughout the meal. That night, the man snuck into the 
    girl's bedroom and they had quite a time, but had kept the noise down to a
    minimum.  The man crept back to his room later that night thinking to 
    himself, "Any three torture tests would be worth it after that experience."
    Well, the next morning the man awoke to a heavy weight on his chest. He 
    opened his eyes and there was this huge rock on his chest. On the
    rock was a sign saying "1st Chinese torture test: 100 lb rock on your
    chest".  "What a lame torture test," the man thought to himself as he got
    up and walked over to the window. He opened the shutter and threw the
    rock out. On the backside of the rock is another sign saying "2nd worst
    Chinese torture test: Rock tied to right testicle".
    The man, seeing the rock was too far out the window to be grabbed, jumps
    out the window after the rock. Outside the window is a third sign
    saying "3rd worst Chinese torture test: Left testicle tied to bedpost".

    	How'd the interview go?
    
    	I listened to that station until about 9:40 and then turned it
    	off, so if it happened I missed it.  [I'd had enough of the bad
    	music they play on that station by then.]
    

    Re: .67
    
    The radio interview went great.  We played four of our songs
    unplugged.  We had a 12 string acoustic and another 6 string acoustic,
    plus we brought the electric bass and a little amp, and I played
    percussion on a cardboard box.  (you'd be amazed at how well a
    cardboard box makes for bongos !)  The dj offered us some drinks
    (we of course had brought some of our own fine brew to the station)
    but when he whipped out some Yoo-hoos I couldn't resist.  I love
    that sh*t !  I had a Yoo-hoo and was on a sugar kick.  I did my
    infamous Cornholio imitation (I do an excellent Beavis).  Then
    the dj had some lyrics that he asked if we could make up something
    to accompany him...country western style.  Well we never have played
    country nor would we be caught dead doing it but we did this time.
    His song was about how being a dj sucked and how did he ever end
    up here, should be sitting outside with a beer real corny but funny
    stuff.  At the chorus we all joined in doing in our best drunken
    bar singer voices.  It was quite funny and we have listened to the tape
    a few times and still laugh at it.  We were on right at about 9:40
    until 11ish so you just missed us.  And YES they do play some weird
    stuff on there !

    	Glad to hear it went well ... maybe next time I won't be so
    	impatient.
    
    	And did you ever consider trading in the 6-string and 12-string
    	for an 18-string?  Then you could fire a band member and increase
    	your share of the profits.
    
    	Just trying to help.
    

>    	And did you ever consider trading in the 6-string and 12-string

    Not until they pay off the VISA bill for the amp that goes to 11.

    	Well, I gave the GFY demo a spin on the way home last night ...
    	not bad.  The mix appears to be pretty good, in that you can
    	hear all the instruments.  The songs are OK ... kind of a heavy
    	alternative sound.

    Thur Sep 28 - Sir Morgan's Cove in Worcester.  Budweiser sponsoring
    	a Battle of the Bands.  
    
    Ok here's the joke of the week:
    
        A farmer wants to get his two female pigs pregnant but he can't
    afford the stud service so he goes to the Vet.
     
    Farmer-  " Hey doc I've got these two pigs I want to breed but I can't
    afford to stud 'em, is there anything cheaper?"
    
    Vet- " Well there's artificial insemination - Blah Blah Blah " He goes
    on to describe some pretty expensive procedures all of which are out of
    the farmer's price range.
    
    Farmer- " No none of that stuff will do, Its too expensive, anything
    else?"
    
    Vet- " Well, not many people know this but human DNA is close enough to
    pig DNA to produce offspring. Here's what you do - take your pigs out
    at night, load them in your pick-up, take them out to the fields and f*ck
    them. No one will know what you're up to and you'll get them pregnant."
    
    Farmer- " How will I know they're pregnant?"
    
    Vet- " If they're pregnant, they'll be lying in the shade the next
    day."
    
        So the farmer follows the advice and that night he struggles to put
    the pigs in the truck, drives out, f*cks them, and drives back later
    that night. The next day the pigs are just standing around. So the next
    night he does it all over again, puts the pigs in the truck,  only he
    f*cks each one twice and drives back even more tired. Next day - nothing ,
    they're just walking around.  So he goes out again, puts the pigs in the 
    truck, and f*cks them three times each and comes back in more worn out 
    than ever. This goes on for the rest of the week and by Saturday the farmer
    is too tired to get out of bed so he asks his wife to get up and look 
    outside at the pigs.
    
    Farmer- " What are the pigs doing dear?"   
    
    Wife- " I don't know, one of them is jumping up and down in the back of
    the truck and the other is blowing the horn."
    
    ha ha  :)

    As you know in the happy little town of Worcester MA this
    Sunday will be a music festival that even the gods will envy.
    (dramatic intro).  Anyways thought you might like to know that
    other than the 12 great bands that will be performing there will
    also be a freak show!  And no I'm not talking about GFY...although
    that point may be debateable depending on whether you've seen
    O'Shea dance or not...I'm talking about Bug Boy and the Pierced
    Nipple Guy !!
    
    There gonna be this guy who like hangs cinderblocks and sh*t from
    his nipples.  I hear that he has been on the either the Letterman
    or Tonight Show (can't remember which).  He is also talented enough
    to swallow a condom, then regurgitate it and blow it up through
    his nose.  In addition to him there will also be Bug Boy who...
    well he eats bugs...you'd like him Judy (no more bugs) :)
    
    I'm told that these guys are attractions...but I'll leave that
    up to you.  I know a few of you had said you might be interested in
    going so just let me know ASAP.  Tickets are $10 and it's all day 
    Sunday Sep 17.  See the last couple notes for more info on the
    bands playing there.  Should be a lot of diversity.  Laters...

    Ok here are the directions to Localpalooza.  Yeah I know they're
    kinda vague so I'll try to get better directions tonight.
    Supposedly there should be about 3000 people at this thing so
    it shouldn't be too hard to spot.
    
    From outside of Wocester:
    
      Take I-290 to I-190 (Exit 19??).  Take Exit 1 and take right at 
      Greendale Mall.  Follow the signs and look for the freaks.
    
    From within Worcester:
      Take Park Ave. to Boston Billiards.  Take a right on the 
      the road right past BB.  Follow for a couple miles.  See
      Indian Lake on the right.  Take first right past the lake.
      Follow signs look for freaks.
    
    If all else fails just look for Crazy Al and the crew from
    Gilligan's Island.

    	Take it to SOAPBOX!!
    
    	8^)
    

    DO I act like I do in CATBOX here in H_M?
    

    
    	There are similarities, yes ... but you're not exactly the same.
    
    	I think you seem to like a few more people in here than you do
    	over there, and vice versa.
    
    	8^)
    

    Ok here are much better directions:
    
      From NH:
        Rt 3S to I-495S to I-290W
        Take Exit 19 onto I-190N.
    	Take Exit 1 Greendale Mall.
       *At end of ramp merge onto Park Ave. get into far left lane
        Take left exit I-190N/Shore Dr.
        Bear right (bearing left will put you back on I-190N...bad)
        At light take a left onto Shore Dr.
        Follow to the end (less than 1/4 mi) Shore Park is on the 
    	left.  Look for freaks (should be some besides us).
    
    If you're actually coming from Worcester just take Park Ave 
    toward the Greendale Mall.  Right before the mall take the left
    exit onto I-190N/Shore Dr.  *see above

    Ok ok...I've got good news and bad news:
    
      The bad news is that there will not be any alcohol or coolers
    or anything like that allowed at the park (sorry SueJ) 
    Since this is an all ages type thing I guess they figure: 
    		booz + kids + big lake = big liability
    
      Ok but for the good news, you guys can all come and party at
    my place after!  I'll pick up some brew before hand and hell maybe
    we'll even fire up the grill.   And hey we'll even catch some of
    the football games !!! yess!!  I'll pick up some Coors Light and
    some good beer too (hi Judy).  
    
      We are going on sometime around 12pm.  We probably won't stick
    around too long after we're done playing since we have no truck
    or anything to keep the equipment locked up in.  The weather forecast 
    calls for partly sunny skies highs in the 70s.  
    
      I just made a map that shows ya exactly how to get to both 
    Shore Park and my apartment.  So if anyone needs it let me know
    and I'll fax it to ya along with a fax of my butt...huh huh faxing 
    is cool...I still have tickets if anybody still wants to go. $8 for
    you H_Mers.  Laters....

    Well if there's anyone lookin to line their bird cage
    with some good material there's pictures of us in the 
    Worcester Magazine and Worcester Phoenix this week in
    their articles about Localpalooza.  Rodney looks especially
    cool in his 'cow' shirt.  moooo moooo. And Sean seems to be
    fondling his left boob...no not Rodney's but his own.
    And they misquoted C.P.! They quoted him as saying "This
    will be the biggest crowd we've played in front of."  But
    they forgot to add the last word to his sentence..."naked".
    Damn press !  Oh yeah btw I'm told that the first 250 people
    at the gate receive a free mystery bag !! woo hoo.
    
    Other things to do there: sumo wrestling, bungee runs, velcro 
    jump, and the gyroforce.  There will be all sorts of vendors
    and sh*t there too.  And don't forget Turbo Tom "the nipple/condom guy"
    and the Boston Blockhead (some guy who eats 9 inch nails!!).
    Hope to see yas there...

    BUck, who think's Rob has Pi memorized to like the 100th decimal point

    ..so shane....did you guys play on sunday or was the whole thing
    cancelled..??....we drove by on our way back from wherever we were..and
    it looked like it was rained out............report??...../k

    Ill be THE VOICE....
    
    Yes it went as planned and it was cool! I had a good time... GFY did
    excellent !!!! It was like reliving a day at WOODSTOCK 94... rain-mud-
    rain-mud... cool!
    
    SueJ
    
    	Is It Friday Yet? :}

    
    
    	Nope, it happened.  It was a rain or shine thing.  
    
    	Lots of very strange and young looking peoples.  I felt
    	quite old.  =)   A couple of the bands were really bad,
    	the one that was playing when SueJ and I got there was
    	pretty good and GFY did well despite it being a very cramped
    	stage.  Didn't hang around much after GFY was done as we
    	were quite wet by this point (though we did remember to bring
    	our umbrellas!).  Went back to the band's apartment and had
    	hot chocolate.  =)   We left just as Turbo Tom (the guy who
    	eats lightbulbs and hangs bricks from his nipple rings) was
    	going on......
    
    	JJ
    

    Well for this is a recap of the Localpalooza that DID go on yesterday
    for all those who are rain impaired.
    
    7 am -- woke up.  looked outside and saw much rain.  said 'Shit'.
    	watched Scooby Doo.  looked outside. still saw rain.  said
    	'f*ck' and then took shower.
    8:45 am -- dropped off equipment.  was surprised to see many kids
    	already in line at the gate.
    10 am -- gates opened.  many weird/bizzare/rain soaked people enter
    	Shore Park.
    11 am -- bands begin playin.  majority of bands didn't impress me. watched
    	people get body parts pierced for very low prices instead..
    11:30 am -- no sign of Al or the SS Minnow .. Coast Guard notified
    12:15 p -- JJ and SueJ show up and consider getting body tatoos and
    	belly button rings in order to fit in
    12:30 p -- lot o kids + lot o rain + dirt = mudflinging (hmmm I think
    	I've seen something like this before)
    1:05 p -- GFY takes the stage
    1:06 p -- many teeny boppers decide Sean is cool
    1:08 p -- Sean sings to jailbait...gets a few phone numbers while
    	performing
    1:19 p -- throw out CDs and watch bezerk freak kids fight for them
    	in the mud
    1:20 p -- well we're done that's it...was it as good for you as it
    	was for me ? 
    2p -- back in time to watch football...party at my place...
    	pizza + beer + football = great day
    2p to 5p -- tease Sean about gettin all the high school chics ...
    	talk about becoming a Poison tribute band ... then decide
    	swallowing and regurgitating condoms through our noses would
    	be a better career path 
    
    We didn't stay around to watch the freaks perform but I heard that
    he was very interesting.  Apparently he was able to dislocate parts
    of his body and suck his stomach up into his chest making him look
    very thin ... I'm sure it was attractive.
    
    A special thanks to SueJ and JJ for coming all the way to hear us
    play for 15 minutes in the rain surrounded by a bunch of freaks.
    But hey you got some hot cocoa out of the deal huh ?  
    
    Our next gig is Oct 7th at good ol' Sir Morgan's Cove in Wooostaaaah.
    You guys will actually be able to see us perform a full set !!!
    
    Shane

    oh and one last thing... IT'S RED !!! NOT SALMON !!!!  ;)
    

    I thank DrHOOK from the bottom of my heart for the Hot Cocoa...
    
	SueJ

    As for other related news:  as I was tellin ya we threw out about
    15 or 20 CDs in the mud yesterday complete with a GFY bumper sticker
    and contact info.  Well aparently two different 15 year olds called 
    up the apartment today to say they liked us a lot and wanted to hear more.
    Although Sean was disappointed that they were both guys, I'm sure
    that the girl teeny boppers will be calling for him shortly.
    
    This just in:  GFY playing this FRIDAY night at Macars in Springfield.
    We'll be opening up for Angry Chair (Alice N Chains tribute) and
    they're supposed to be really good.  Anyways, if you happen to be in the 
    Springfield, MA area this Friday night please stop by and say hi
    and bring a 15 year old girl for Sean.  More info and directions as
    they arrive... this is the first time we'll have played Macars so
    if anyone knows anything about it or has been there please tell us
    about it.  It's supposed to be a really great place.  Talk to yas
    laters....

    oops the name of the place we're playin at this Friday is
    called MIKARA'S.  sumtimes I misspel thengs... 

  Oh no!!! not that place!! anywhere but that place!!!!!!! 



  Just Kidden... ;'))


  Whit-

     In Monday's Worcester Telegram & Gazette there was an article
    on Localpalooza.  Somehow we were the only band that this writer
    guy talked to...probably cause he was afraid to go up to any of
    the other bands, some of em were pretty scary.  Anyways we had
    3 quotes in there.  The best one was by Rodney and it brought tears
    to my eyes so I figured I'd share a little portion of the article
    with you:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    	YOUNG MUSIC FANS SLOSH 'N' MOSH -by John Monahan/Worcester T&G
    
    ...The show wasn't a big money-maker for the local performers, many of 
    whom took a small cut from tickets they sold to their friends and fans
    for their performance fee.  Still they all seemed to treasure the
    chance to put their music on stage for an enthusiastic audience.
    "We're here to play for the people, not for the money," said GFY
    bassist Rodney Lukowski....
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    {sniffle} that's just SO beautiful {sniffle} rock on man !  We're
    not sellin out !!
    
    Shane, drummer of the band for the people !!  :)

    For the people, by the people and ON the people. 
    
    :-)

>    "We're here to play for the people, not for the money," said GFY

    Translated from "standard musician spin":
    
    	There's no pay for playing this gig.   The promoters knew damned
    	well they could get a zillion bands to bend over to get the gig.
    
    Shane, you are doing PRC proud.
    
    	db

    
    Hey Shane, which night is the October Cove gig on?
    
    Thanks,
    Kev --
    

    
    
    	Well I'm not Shane but it's October 7.
    

    
    RE: -1
    
    Oops, I meant which night of the week (Fri/Sat) is the show?
    
    Thanks,
    Kev --
    

    Kev,
    
      I realize the challenges you must face and the obstacles that
    you must strive to overcome being calendar impaired and all   :)
    
    Oct 7 is on a Sat night.  We're the second band so that puts us on
    probably around 10 p.  The headliner that night is Wicked Garden
    which is a Stone Temple Pilot tribute.
    
    BONUS: if you show up to the Oct 7th gig there will be several hookers 
    there.  My mom & dad are visiting that weekend and will be poundin down 
    some beers and stirring up trouble at the Cove !
    
    Hope to see ya there...
    
    Shane
    G F Y  

    
    	Wow ... I never realized that your mother was a Hooker.
    

    Re: -1
    
    yeh... my mom wasn't a hooker till she met my dad ...then
    she became a hooker ... 
    
    		...so would that make my dad a pimp ??

    
    No fair...I'll be away in Pennsylvania that weekend.  Someone take
    pictures of the Hookers (oh and the vice cops, too!)
    
    /jen

    Well up the count on the number of teeny boppers to call the
    apartment to 4 !  Two more 15 year olds called to say they saw
    us play at Localpalooza and liked us and wanted to know if they
    won anything for calling...as if we're some fricken radio 
    station giving away free stuff or whatever.  We just told them
    that yeh they won something...we told them that they had won
    Sean for a day and a juicer...
    
    		..it seemed they weren't interested in Sean
    		but they wanted the juicer... then we had to tell
    		them that we were just kidding about the juicer...
    
    Shane, who knew it was a bad idea to give out the home phone #
    on all the free CDs
    
    

    
    
    	Snicker......
    

    Well we played at Mikara's on Friday night.  I'm beginning to feel
    that whenever we play out we bring rain with us.  Hey maybe we could
    make lots o' money playin out in the midwest during drought season !
    Anyways, Mikara's is easily the best club we have EVER been to.  The
    sound system there is totally awesome.  They have a huge stage, 
    dance floor and large bar on the main floor.  Then they have a spiral
    staircase that takes you up above where a balcony overlooks the 
    entire main floor.  But there is also another bar and pool tables
    and dart boards upstairs.  They even had a piano/lounge room adjacent
    to the main room where we hung out before the show and I played 
    Home Sweet Home and sang in my best Vince Neil voice :)  ...then I
    was told to stop livin in the eighties and to get a haircut :(  
    
    Anyways we played our 50 minute set and the crowd was really cool.
    They were definately waiting to see Angry Chair (headline band) but
    they got into our stuff too, which was cool since everyone here
    was new.  We even sold 4 CDs which covered our gas money so we
    were psyched !  So that brings the total number of albums sold
    to hmmm 3,000,004 not including our European sales which my 
    agent from Warner Bros tells me has surpassed even David Hasselhoff.
    Sean was spooging all over because he got to use a wireless mic.
    I was also lovin it cause I could feel the bass bouncing off the
    back wall everytime I used the kick drum.  uuummmmm bass....
     
    Angry Chair was definately awesome !  If you weren't 
    watching you'd swear it was Alice N Chains...cept different.
    We may be playin with them again sometime soon cause we got
    along really well.
    
    All in all it was a good night.  Got to hear lots of our favorite
    Alice N Chains songs by a band who was extremely talented.  I got
    to run up and down spiral staircases till I was dizzy.  We brought
    much needed rain thus saving the ecosystem and we put on a good
    show.  
    
    Catch us at the Cove on Oct 7th !  Laters....

    Well just another reminder:
    
    	GFY at Sir Morgan's Cove in Worcester Sat Oct 7th at 10p 
    	with Wicked Garden  (Stone Temple Pilots tribute)
    
    Also it's been a while since I posted a rather tasteless joke
    in here so here's one that I still get a good laugh out of:
    
    Cinderella is all excited about going to the big ball. The day before
    the ball, she gets her period. She is very upset because now she won't 
    be able to go to the ball. Her Fairy Godmother comes to the rescue, 
    bringing her a magic tampon. She tells Cinderella that the magic tampon 
    will absorb anything, but she must get home by midnight because it will 
    turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of 12.  Cinderella goes to the ball 
    and her Fairy Godmother waits for at home.  Midnite comes and goes and 
    Cinderella has not returned. 1AM & 2AM pass by and still there is no sign 
    of Cinderella.  The Fairy Godmother is frantic with worry. Finally, at 
    2:30AM, Cinderella comes rolling in with a big,  lopsided grin on her 
    face. Her makeup is smudged, her hair tousled, and her clothes disheveled.
    Her Fairy Godmother asks, with a mixture of consternation and relief: 
    "Cinderella, where have you been?" Cinderella says: " I met this wonderful
     man, Peter Peter something or other....."
    
    ha ha :)
    
    Shane, who thinks it would be really cool if pumpkins and watermelons
    grew on trees

    
    	Taste-Less, I love the taste of Pumpkin...*))
    
    Bobby T

    Speaking of which.... TOO FUNNY
    
    Met a friend of a friend... we were on the subject of the MOVIES (haha)
    
    And he said "Just give me a Walkman and I'd be there for hours"
    
    YIKERS! Where are all those men!?
    
    

    
    I don't know if, well actually this does have something to do with the
    note title!
    
    Here is a joke I heard yesterday morning which was a great way to start
    off a monday!
    
    A salesman is driving down this country road on a stormy morning when all 
    of a sudden his car breaks down. He pulls over to the side of the road
    and gets out and starts walking towards a farmhouse with its front
    porch light on. He walks up to the door and knocks, waits a bit, then not 
    hearing anything walks around the side of the house to take a peek
    in a side window which happened to have its light on. What does he see but 
    a naked old lady stroking her boobs and a man with nothing on holding an 
    umbrella over his head while pulling his *****. The salesman says, man I am
    outta here, these people are wierd!
    
    He continues walking down the road and comes to another farmhouse with
    its porch light on. He knocks on the door and waits a few minutes. A
    man opens the door and the salesman asks if he can get some assistance 
    with his car or at least use his phone. The man agrees. The salesman
    then says to the man, "you have some strange neighbors over there"
    pointing to the other farmhouse. The man says "what do you mean" and
    the salesman explains what he saw. The man says "oh, they aren't strange, 
    just deaf and dumb. She was telling her husband it was time to go and milk 
    the cows, and he was telling her GFY, it's raining outside!".
    
    Fits perfect with the name! If you tell it to others, make sure you do
    the motions! It accents the joke MUCH better! ;-)
    
     

    
    	Did you hear about the sentimental gynacologist....

    Well just wanted to say thanx to all you HMers (huh huh that sounds
    like hummers) who came out to party with us on Sat night at the
    Cove.  It was kinda like Romper Room...I see Whit and I see Ian,
    oh and there is Dwe...and I see Judy and Kev and hey it's the Jello
    shot spandex waitress !  Yeeeessss !!  For those who were there
    hope ya had fun.  Ian, so did Chris enjoy his 21st bday ?  Looked
    like he was well on his way to an awesome 21st bday hangover.
    Oh and I'd like to thank the hooker for selling our CDs for us...
    sorry JJ I wasn't really pointing to you, I thought my mom was 
    sitting at the table with you, when I said "just see the hooker
    sitting at the front table for CDs".  It was kinda funny though
    to see your jaw drop that far :)  I wasn't too impressed with the
    STP Tribute band.  They started out really good but they just got
    suckier the more songs they played IMO.  We were pretty psyched to
    play though...we weren't as tight as we have been but we had fun.  Sean 
    danced around like a madman, and Chris was sporting his "Indiana Jones" 
    hat that seemed to be a hit with everyone.  We had lots o fun and I was 
    psyched that all you guys came out to hear us.  Hope ya didn't think we 
    sucked but if ya did then just GFY... :)  Laters....
    
    $10

    Oh yeh, Ian you cracked me up everytime ya said "oh boogar"...
    I would have never guessed you were from Scotland from the way
    you talked  ;)
    
    $10  

	ugggg... was a good night.. ;') 

	I got there about mid set.. what I heard sounded good... always cool to
	meet new HMer's! 

	Whit-

    Yo Shane - Sure Ian didn't say "Bugger" ??
    
    :-)
    
    I remember picking Ian up at the airport in Denver with Greg House,
    and looking down the ramp and seeing a long-haired guy in a kilt and
    Greg said "Think that him?"
    
    
    We were ROLLING!
    
    

    
    I had a good old time and would have stayed to the end but my right
    contact lense was driving me nuts.By the time I got home,my eye was
    completely bloodshot and swollen.It was a relief to get it out!
    
    it was good to see old faces and meet new ones.
    
    ....as for Chris's 21st...that wasn't it.Karen wants to be involved in
    that.What happened on saturday was just a couple of lads "oot on the
    toon" 8)
      he was fine in the morning.I wasn't too good a I only got 4 hours
    sleep.Ziggy missed Karen and was whining!

    Shane- 
    
        Good show Sat. night.  Jamming drums man!!!!!  Sorry I didn't
    stick around for the last band.  Good deal meeting some of the HM
    noters.
    
    Later!

    man,you looked terrible on saturday night.Thats what lack of sleep
    after 48 hours of nightshift willd do to you@

	Iris,

		I'm  in Westford MA, in a 100+ year old farmhouse with 489
	acres of woods, rivers, lakes and marshes.  I have deer in my backyard
	on a daily basis, but no horses, so you'll have nothing but a few cats
	to watch.

	/Cap'n Quad

		

    Sounds as if it is just the right thing for me! And me too I have 2
    cats so you wouldn`t be lonely...
    
    Come on, let`s swap...
    
    Iris` horses are not stolen but I will close the barn today

    Not sure how many of you there are out there, but for those of
    you who are in a band and are interested in getting some good
    quality promo pictures done, I have just the place.  ABC pictures
    in Springfield, MO.  We sent them off an 8x10 b&w photo of us
    (that we took ourselves) along with a logo design and a draft
    of the text we wanted and they sent us back 500 really nice 
    lithograph copies on glossy stock with the picture and info on the 
    border just like all those other cool bands have in their press kits.  
    All for the low low price of $70.  I don't think anybody could beat
    that price anywhere, even if you just made 500 cheesy Xerox copies.
    Anyways, if anybody needs more info just send me some email.
    The photos came out pretty good...Rodney is wearing his shirt
    with a big cow on the front which seems to make us appear to
    just be a bunch of average lookin Joes...which I guess we are now
    that I think of it. ...hmmmm...

    	500 pictures at 10 cents/Xerox = $50.
    
    	Cheesy, yes.  More expensive, no.  8^)
    
    	And if you do them at work really late at night it's free.
    
    	8^)
    

    Re: -1
    
    Ah but not glossy stock !!  Most place charge more than 10 cents for
    that...plus to do any typesetting would cost you extra $$.  So for
    people like me who don't have convenient access to a really nice
    laser jet printer or scanner it is a good deal.  You COULD probably
    do it all yourself for just a couple bucks cheaper but it's the
    whole CONVENIENCE thing...plus you have to have all the graphics
    software and cool crap like that....which I have...just don't got
    a printer. :(

    	Fill a washtub with polyurethane and dunk the pictures in it 1
    	at a time.
    
    	But if you spend more than $70 on polyurethane then I guess it
    	won't be too much of a bargain.  A guess would be 1-2 gallons
    	at most, so you should be OK.
    
    	Always glad to help.
    

    cool... sometimes I fill my bathtub with polyurethane and just
    soak in it myself.  Then I look for open flames and
    ...poooooff !!   get that whole Spinal Tap 'drummer explodes' thing
    goin ....

    Well does any body want their own house band ?  
                                          
    We just got word that we could no longer practice at the place
    we have been after 5p on any day.  It seems the apartment buildings
    behind us have been complaining a lot to the police about noise.
    Hmmm...let's see the apartment building is surrounded by 3
    fraternities and I'm sure that a band who plays 2 nights a week
    is really the reason for all the noise.  I'm sure it wouldn't have
    anything to do with the weekend parties and the random amount of
    noise made by groups of people playing ball and drinkin beer in
    the driveway...but noooo...we have to be the ones who are restricted
    to what hours we can play. ;(  As if we don't have day jobs or
    something and can practice whenever we want to.  
    Evidently you can register a noise complaint at any time (not just 
    after 9p). So that sucks...now we have to find a fu**in place to practice 
    which means renting a rehearsal space, which means, $$$.  
    I have half a mind to rent an apartment in that building and we

      Ouch !!  hey that gives me a great idea for a Halloween costume.
    I could go as the Long Haired Guy who Swallowed his Face or
    something...
    
    Shane, who likes smashing pumpkins...the band is ok too :)

    Well it's been a little over a month since we last played out at
    the Cove but this week we'll be back.  The only thing that sucks
    is that it is a Battle of the Bands and it is on a Thursday night.
    However, if you're the type to disregard such medicore
    responsibilities (like waking up for work the next morning) if you
    show up we promise that it'll be a great time.  We're all fired up
    to play this week cause we've been workin on some new stuff and are
    gonna play it Thurs night.  Plus I got brand new shiny kick drum 
    pedals that really fly this weekend !!  There's some real hi-tech
    stuff in those pedals now...35 degree angle cuts on the sprocket reduce
    the surface area and the amount of displacement blah blah blah 
    teflon coated ball bearings blah blah ... all I know is they were a
    cool $120 a piece on sale !!!  yikes !!  Anyways, if any of you
    local to Worcester guys/gals feel like goin out Thurs night then
    stop down at the Cove and I'll like buy ya a beer or somethin.  We
    go on kinda late though....we're the headline act so it'll be around
    Midnight to closing that we are on.  Hope to see some of ya there..
    if not then hopefully we'll see ya on New Year's Eve when we play
    First Night in Worcester.  More details to come...I was thinkin
    of tryin to throw a little HM New Years Eve party type thing.  Whatya
    think ?  Laters...
    
    Shane, who wonders if nothing sticks to teflon then how do they make
    it stick to the ball bearings ??

Can you play One in your sleep now?

    Re: -1
    
      Actually the funny thing is I'm still not used to those pedals cause
    they're so fast.  I'm used to my older Tama Camco pedals and they
    had a lot more resistance so you had to push down harder.  After 7
    years of playin on them it's really weird playin on somethin that
    has teflon coated ball bearing blah blah blah.  It's gonna take a
    little adjustment for me to be able to keep the rpms down on my feet !!
    
      As for playing One in my sleep...the pedals are so good they play
    it for you. ;)

    > As for playing One in my sleep

      had a sword under his coat!  Why else would he wear a long black

      shorts)?

    Well last night was a very long night at the Cove.  The first band,
    Wasted Creation, were your typical biker band heavy metal types.
    Unfortunately we got there a bit late and only caught their last
    two songs.  Somewhat WhiteZombieish but I was not too impressed with
    the two songs I did hear and began to believe their band name was
    self explanitory.  The second band of the night was Snatch.  They could
    easily be picked out in the Sir Morgan crowd because they were all
    their best shiny grey suits and ties.  At first I wondered if they were
    gonna do a Beatles tribute but they ended up playing a lot of funk.
    They were pretty good, you might even consider them really good if you
    were into that punk hard core rock type stuff.  Although they started
    to become a bit boring and I was distracted by the Miss Fitness USA 
    that was being shown over the TV at the bar.  The 3rd band was very
    ...interesting.  Their bass player was easily 6'6" tall and had a 
    top hat on to make him appear yet even taller.  He was a rather skinny
    fellow and wore his bass nearly up to his neck.  He also had on these
    rose colored sunglasses and all I could think about was Brahm Stoker's
    Dracula cause that's what he looked like.  Their singer came out
    donned in a white flight jump suit with a backpack strapped on him.
    I immediately interpretted that this was supposed to be some sort of
    gimick.  As soon as they started their first song I knew who their
    influence was...Red Hot Chili Peppers.  They played really tight and
    put on a rather funny show.  After every song the singer would unzip
    and remove the white jump suit to reveal he was wearing another white
    jump suit underneath it.  Their music was tight and they had a groove
    and I think I remember the singer attacking the bass player and biting
    his leg.  Anyhoo, it was about at this point when Rhoda brought
    out our 3rd pitcher of beer and we started talking about how they
    should bottle nose grease and put a little bit in the beer so that you
    don't have to get rid of the head of foam yourself.  Oh yeh, Rhoda
    says hi Jen.  We took the stage right on time and had about 10 or so
    faithful die hard fans there to cheer us on.  The Cove was not very
    full that night.  We played pretty good.  Definately improved and got
    into our groove by the 3rd song.  By the end we were really having fun
    and not wanting to stop.  Sean danced his little dance the entire night
    narrowly avoiding crashing into Stimpy bass and causing a massive
    head injury.  After we were done they announced the results and ...
    
    
    ... we didn't win ;(    We tied with Snatch for 3rd.  The Chili Pepper
    guys with the parachute man won.  Guess we lost points for not having
    a gimick.  But oh well... at least we had fun playin the last half our
    set and we sounded tight.  And at least we got to watch the Miss
    Fitness USA pageant while the other bands were on stage :)
    
    Shane, who is very sleepy today... TGIF.

    
    	Sorry I didn't make it to the show ... I played pool until about
    	1:15 Wednesday/Thursday and would've been in rough shape if I
    	tried to stay out that late 2 nights in a row.
    

    Well 1995 has nearly reaced it's end.  Regardless of how the year 
    went for everyone New Years Eve is an occassion to party a lot and
    start the New Year off the right way...which would hopefully not be
    with a hangover but hey it's usually a tradition.  Anyways, if you
    are lookin for something to do in the fine Metropolis of Worcester
    you can stop by GFY headquarters and party with us.  
    
    We'll be playin at the Girl's Club (chance for some of you guys to
    score with underaged chics) in Worcester at 9:30 till 11:20p.  But
    starting around 6p we'll be tailgating and celebrating at the
    apartment.  There is sure to be hot dogs, hamburgers, and circus
    midgets.  If anyone is interested I can post or send you mail for
    directions to the pad.  Just bring your own beer or little blue cooler
    and you'll be all set.
    
    The Girl's Inc. is located directly across the road if you take exit 18
    (Route 9) off 290 W.  From Worcester take 70N (Lincoln St) and it is
    just before the overpass for 290E on the right across from Paper World.
    Hope to see some of ya there but have fun whatever you're doin on 
    New Years.

    Haley is the bud bundy look alike because of the hair.  He has no

    Re: 'pril
    
    ummm..ok..
    but I can't possibly see how the money you'll save on beer 
    could possibly make up for the cost of transportation from 
    Texas to NH ;)
    
    [ENGINEER GEEK MODE ON]
    let's assume you take the cheapest transportation method, driving
    your car...assuming that your car is in good working order and up
    to the drive.  Let's again assume that your car gets say 25 mpg
    and that you put in the cheap stuff at $1.27/gallon.  Approximating
    the distance from Texas to NH we'll say it's roughly 2000 miles.
    If you drive a constant 65 mph not even stopping to pee or eat 
    or anything it would take you 1 day 6 hr 45 min and $101.60 to
    get here.  That's $203.20 round trip.  If you assume that you
    pay $1.50 for a beer down your way you'd have to drink 204 beers
    between 8-9p in order for it to pay off.

    2200 miles divide by 25 hours does not equal 70 miles per hour.

Either that or the DPW left a time/space contiuum uncovered somewhere and he

    The keyword IS indeed "average"...
    
>    Buck, who remembers a top speed of 105 on I-44 just outside of St.
>    Louis.
    
    Ummm.... sorry boys but in order to go 2200 miles in 25 hours you
    would HAVE to "average" 88 MPH which is what 2200 miles divided
    by 25 hours yields.
    
    It's simple math.  That's how you compute "average" dude.
    
    	db

I figured maybe Buck had some sort of fancy adding machine figuring geometric
means or median or something like that

ie (0 + 140)/2  = 70...

    db, you're being anal again..
    
    I know that 2200 divided by 25 is 88, but how can I put this.
    
    At no time during our trip did we drive slower than 70 mph.
    When applicable, we sped like nobody's business.  Often we were 
    driving more like 85 - 90mph, sometimes even more (MO and OK come
    to mind!), but the way I looked at the original phrase...
                                          

    anyways, who freakin cares -- we made it from MA to TX is just over a
    day's time.

    
    Hey GTI- this sounds like one of your word problems:
    
    If Buck drives 110 miles per hour for 100 miles
    and 100 miles per hour for 200 miles
    and 90 miles per hour for 400 miles
    how fast must he have been driving ON AVERAGE the other 1500 miles to 
    have driven a total of 2200 miles in 25 hours?

      yup ...Shoot Me and Without_A_Prayer are both on the set list
    for that night...as for O'Shea doing his flower dance he has 
    adapted it somewhat to encompass the feelings and emotions of
    winter...or whatever...
    
    Re: Buck
    
      you should just buy a VW...my Corrado has an onboard computer that
    tells you the duration of time the car has been on-->average miles
    per gallon-->number of miles driven-->average speed-->present oil
    temperature-->present outside air temperature.
    
    Shane, who drives from Worcester MA to Stafford VA in just over 
    7 hours...500 miles / 7 hours = 71 mph AVERAGE SPEED...that includes
    one stop for gas, talking to a man about a horse, and buying some
    pop tarts and yoo-hoo to eat on the ride.

    > Average highway speed was 70 mph.
    
    > At no time during our trip did we drive slower than 70 mph.
    
    >    db, you're being anal again..

    Re: jen
    
    In answer to your word problem, Buck would have to drive an
    average of 86.635 mph on the other 1500 miles to have driven
    a total of 2200 miles in 25 hours.

    Well, I guess /jen's problem speaks volumes, and that my note way back
    when that caused all the problems probably SHOULD have read...
    
    Buck, who drove from Maynard, Mass. to Dallas, Texas, which is in the
    ballapark of 2200 miles, in just over 25 hours.  Average speed was 
    90 mph, but since that is illegal, Buck's mind rationalized that the
    average speed was *actually* only 70mph!
    
    8^)
    

    No.
    
    If the velocity of 60mph is 88 feet per second, then how many feet did
    you travel?
    

    > there, is that better?
    
    An average is back to not being a minimum and 2200/25 is back to
    being 88.
    
    You've restored the order of the universe.   
    
    That's quite piece of work for one day - take the rest of the

>In answer to your word problem, Buck would have to drive an
>average of 86.635 mph on the other 1500 miles to have driven
>a total of 2200 miles in 25 hours.

Hmm, I came up with 85.003 mph.

100 miles
---------   =  .9090909090 hours
110 mph      

200/100 = 2 hours

400/90  = 4.444444 hours

total = 7.35344  hours.   Which leaves 17.64656 hours for the rest of the trip.

1500 / 17.64656 = 85.002

Shane, your calculator is broken!   :')

Ken

    Re: Ken
    
    Well let's see..I don't think I followed the CORRECT method for
    keeping my significant digits.  If we go with 4 sig digits throughout
    the entire calculation we get the following:
    
    100mi/110mph = 0.9090 hr
    200mi/100mph = 2.000 hr
    400mi/90mph  = 4.444 hr
    total of 7.353 hr leaving 17.647 hr for remaining 1500 mi.
    1500mi/17.647 = 85.00 mph
    
    So...yeah..it was a rounding error... GFY !  ;)

    On a friday afternoon in July, heading west on the LIE, how long will
    it take him to reach the Hamptons?  This includes a stop for dinner in
    Deer Park.

Shane,

That's what I figured.... I'll wind up my propeller too!

    
    
    
    Whos going ? party at my place ! Before and After!!!! If anyone needs
    a place to crash-- no problem.... Plenty of room....
    
    Shane, What time do you go on ?
    
    SueJ

    
    
    	They go on at 8:30....
    

    
    Hey...why is it when I am in town they go on at midnight on work nights
    in dives, but when I'm away they go on at 8:30 on a weekend in
    suburbia?
    
    /jen

    
    	Shane/JJ:
    
    	Does the "Battle of the Bands" start at 10PM Thursday, or is
    	that when GFY goes on stage?
    
    	I'd like to catch all the bands if I'm gonna make the trip
    	anyways.
    

    Yep...yet another Battle of the Bands at the Cove on a Thursday
    night.  It's more like a War of the Bands composed of many small
    battles.  We don't really promote war...think of it as a skurmish
    if you will.  Anyways, I believe the uprising will begin at 9:30ish
    and we will take the stage at 10:30ish.  So if you're in Worcester
    and lookin for somethin to do, please by all means stop by.  Laters..

    btw, for those who didn't get our newsletter it's Thursday Mar 14th
    at Sir Morgan's Cove.  thank you ..drive through

    In an effort to be redundant I will place this note here right
    after the last note that says GFY is playing at Sir Morgan's
    Cove tonight at 10:30p.  I believe bands start at 9:30p.  So come
    down and maybe you'll get lucky or somethin.  The Cove is a great
    place to meet people and exchange political viewpoints.  And sometimes
    there's even good music and beer too.

    	I plan on being there, if it matters [either way] as to whether
    	anyone else decides to show up.
    

    
    	You guys sound quite professional/polished on stage, I'll
    	tell you.  Much more energy displayed than I would have
    	thought after hearing the demo CD.
    
    	And the studio version of "Mayor McCheese" doesn't do the
    	intro justice.  That bassist of yours is excellent, as far
    	as I can tell.
    
    	Sorry I didn't stick around, but I was tired and took off
    	after you finished.  I did see Godiva, the band before you.
    	Yuck, IMO.  Some sort of a Slayer-influenced band, complete
    	with mostly-illegible vocals and OK instrumentation.  They
    	would have been better off as an instrumental band, and a
    	double bass set-up would have helped immensely.  The drum
    	sound was very wimpy.
    
    	Is it my imagination, or does the sound system pretty much
    	suck there?  The PA mid/high had an annoying buzz/hum, and
    	the PA bass seemed to hit resonant frequency quite often.
    

    
    I thought the bass playing was very good too when I saw the band but
    for god's sake get rid of Bud Bundy on guitar! 8)

    re: Sound system at the Cove
    
    I've played there about 5 times now and my opinion is that they push
    the sound way too loud for the room.   I remember getting there
    early one evening and setting up while it was basically empty and
    even just talking at normal voice-volume it sounded like we were
    inside a cavern. 
    
    They need to invest in some acoustic tiling for the walls or something.
    
    	db

    
    I think the Cove owner should in should invest in bathroom stalls with
    doors that lock/close and toilet paper before he gets into funky sound
    tiles!

    	Ian,  CP  shaved the goatee so he doesn't really have
    	too much of the Bud Bundy look anymore.  Wicked babyface
    	now, but not Bundy.......  =)
    
    	Personally, I like him better with the goatee.....
    

    Re: Shawn
    
      thanks for comin out...I still didn't get to meet you or nothin
    but thanks for comin.  The cove is a dump.  The guy doin sound that
    night kinda sucks too.  We've gotten much much better sound on weekend
    nights with some other guy.  People tell us that we sound a lot better
    live than we do on the CD.  Uh that's cause the CD cost us dirt to 
    make and we didn't exactly know what the hell we were doing.  If we
    ever get around to it, the next one will sound more like our live
    stage sound and be much better.  We've got enough songs to make another
    album...just need the place to record, time, and ...money ;)
    
    We're supposed to be playing at the Chase Lounge in Dudley, MA on 
    Mar 28th.  It's another hole in the wall but they have pool tables
    there and it's a lot bigger.  Laters...
    
    Shane
    G F Y

    oh yeah FYI... we didn't win that night...the last band did.
    Didn't stick around to hear them but CP said he wasn't impressed
    at all with them.  He said they had nothing new or something.
    But yeah... Godiva did pretty much suck.  But they were pretty young
    you could tell.  Well all except for the fat guy singer/guitarist who
    was basically the entire band.  
    
    GFY 

    
    	Dudley, and pool tables?
    
    	Hmmm, I might show up ... not that far from me, really.  If I
    	know Dudley as well as I think I do, it's only 3 different
    	streets all the way from my house.
    

    > If I know Dudley as well as I think I do...
    
    And if you don't does that mean that I can say:
    
	YOU DON'T KNOW DUDLEY!!!!!!!!!!
    
    ;-)    

    
    	Wow, I usually don't walk into those quite that easily.
    
    	8^)
    

    
    	Shane, are you going to post an official announcement for the
    	Dudley show?
    

    Re: -1
    
    yeah..as soon as I officially find out what time ;)
    It's next Thursday the 28th in Dudley at the Chase Lounge.
    I'll try to get directions and a definate time and find out
    who else is playin that night too.

    ok ok...here it is:
    
    GFY performing Thursday Mar 28 at Chase Lounge in Dudley, MA
    
    Round one of Battle of the Bands.
    3 Bands starting at 9p.  GFY on around 10:15 pm.
    
    Winner is decided by crowd volume so any big lunged people that
    want to come and cheer us on are very welcome...we will attempt
    to cater to your beer drinking needs.  Bring your boots and
    spurs that jingle jangle jingle and your big hat cause it's
    Dudley.
    
    The other bands are Carbon 14 and Misunderstood.
    $3 cover charge.
    
    Directions:  290 W to 395 S.  Take exit 2 (downtown Webster).
    Take a right off the ramp.  Count the number of stop lights you
    will be going through a total of 5 counting the one at the end
    of the ramp.  At the 5th stop light you will continue to go
    straight (you will cross over a railroad track).  At the 6th
    set of lights take a left.  Chase Lounge is 1/4 mile on your
    right.

    	Another good show by these guys.
    
    	The 1st band, Seeing Red, was 3 young kids who were playing
    	their 1st show ever.  A punk band, ala The Sex Pistols, and
    	most of their songs sounded pretty much the same.  But the
    	highlight came when, about 30-35 minutes into the show, they
    	ran out of songs [they'd already done about 15 of them by
    	that time] ... so they decided to do a couple instrumental
    	jams, made up on the spot.  And they sounded good ... I hope
    	they take a hint and do a little more of these in the fut-
    	ure.
    
    	The 2nd band was GFY.  Sounded as good as they did at Sir
    	Morgan's Cove a couple weeks ago, and made the 1st band look
    	like 3 young kids who were playing their 1st show ever.  8^)
    	The sound was good, the mix was good, and all 7 fans seemed
    	to like what they heard.
    
    	The 3rd band was Carbon 14.  3-piece thrash band, and not too
    	bad if you like thrash.  They knew what they were doing, for
    	sure, and actually sounded good.  But I left after the 2nd
    	song so I didn't hear everything.
    
    	Who won the battle?  Hopefully it was GFY.
    

    
    	Well, did you win the battle at Chase Lounge?
    

    Re: -1
    
    Apparently we came in 2nd.  But they said that the top 2 bands
    will advance to the next round.  Weird since there was only
    3 bands that night...but any ways...the next round will be in
    early May I believe.  He said May 2nd but that is still to be
    confirmed.
    
    So we didn't win...but we didn't lose...but we didn't tie either...
    we're just a bunch of misfits I guess.
    
    Shane, who wants to be a dentist...Get Fluoridated Yearly

    
    	2nd??  Hopefully you didn't take 2nd to the punk band.  8^)
    
    	I guess that thrash band beat you, then, although I thought
    	you sounded much more "polished" [and better] than they did.
    

    Re: -1
    
    Thanks...yeah the 'thrash' band came in first.  It's pretty silly
    the way they judge it anyhow.  They measure the applause with
    a SPL (sound pressure level) meter.  Thing is they go by the applause
    after the band's performed and factor it in with applause for
    each band at the end of the night.  So at the end of the night
    all of 'our' fans and the first band's fans have gone home...
    cause I mean why stay in Dudley any longer than you have to ;)
    So whatever regulars are still left pretty much decide the winner.
    Since they're so drunk and can't remember what the first 2 bands
    sounded like naturally they'll cheer (or not cheer at all) for
    the last one.  Same thing happened the last time we did this.  The
    last band won because all of their fans who came to see them were
    there when they did the final applause tally.
    
    Of course we all know that the band that brings in the most people
    are bound to win in any case since the club owners see the chance
    for making a few bucks.
    
    In every other 'battle of bands' we've performed it was always 
    a number of factors.  They would get 3 or 4 'judges' who would
    listen to all the bands and rate them on things like originality,
    stage precense, sound, size of drum kit (we'd always win if that
    were the case)...etc.  Then they'd factor in crowd response after
    the band had played ... along with factoring in how many people
    the band brought in and how much they spent on beer (this again
    is my theory).  At any rate...I'm tired of typing now so I'm gonna
    take a nap...
    
    Shane
    GFY
    
    btw--they let me get 'GFY' on my vanity plates for the Conquest...
    ...since I-HATE-THE-F'N-SNOW wouldn't fit I with GFY.
    

They should use weighted applause.  You know - Loudness X Duration.  Otherwise
some Gomer with big lungs could screw up the results.

    Re: -1
    
    I think they should use those remote control do-dads like on
    Americas Funniest Home Videos.  'Ok lock in your votes'.  You
    notice that the video with the animals doin silly stunts or the
    kids droolin over themself always win ?  With that kind of winning
    combination having O'Shea as our front man, we'd win for sure.

    Y'know Steve Morse's column in this months "Guitar for the Practicing
    Musician" is called "Translations".
    
    Example:
    
    	Phrase: He plays too fast and without feeling
    	Translation: Wish I could play that fast
    
    Here's one I'm going to send to him as a suggested addition:
    
    	Phrase: Battle of the bands
    	Translation: A method employed by club owners to get
    		bands to play for free instead of paying them

        Well since has been low on our Thursday night performances
        (mainly due to Jennifer Anniston's perky nipples) we've taken
        a gig on .... WEDNESDAY night !!   Alright.  This Wednesday night
        as a matter of fact.  We'll be playin at good ol Sir Morgan's
        Cove in Worcester.  Actually it should be a decent gig.  We're
        teaming up with 3 other bands (mostly college bands from WPI).
        We'll go on around 10p just when the beer starts to get good.
        So if you're in the area and haven't heard us yet stop by and
        have a brew, hear some tunes, read the literature in the bathroom
        stalls, etc.
    
        Other bands performing: Orion, CardBoard Bob, and some other
        band...
        
        Cover: $3 or something like that...
    
        proceeds go to us...so if you show up I'll buy you a beer ;)
    
        See ya...

    Before you guys start correcting me or inserting words...
    
    The first sentance is supposed to say 'attendance has been low'...
    
    Shane
    GettaFpellingchecker...Yeah

    Well anyone who had planned on seeing us at the Cove this Wednesday
    don't bother....cause it's next Wednesday !!  April 17th at
    Sir Morgan's Cove (Wednesday). 
    
    Shane, who reminds everyone NEVER to let your singer book gigs

    Just a reminder if anyone is looking for a place to go TONIGHT
    come to the Cove...Sir Morgan's of course...
    
    GFY at 9p..Cardboard Bob 10:30p...Orion 12p.
    
    $3 cover charge.  Stop by, say hi, grab a beer, GFY.

    
    	I saw Cardboard Bob a few months ago ... not bad, not great.
    	But they did OK.
    
    	I've seen GFY a couple times in the last couple months ...
    	good band.  If you don't agree, well, GFY.  8^)
    

    $3?

    
    
    	YOu think that's too high or too low, 'pril?
    

    
    	Wednesday is "new band night", I believe.
    

    Re: -1
    
    Actually Wednesday is "we gotta make some money so let's get some
    local bands who will play for squat" night.
    
    We get a whole $1 for everyone who comes in that night though !
    Woo hoo !!  Good thing I have a day job.
    
    Shane, who thinks I may spend all my share on a pack of Juicy Fruit

    Way too low!  A lousy freakin buck?  This is disturbing.

    
    	$1 for everyone who enters, or $1 for each person who enters?
    

    A dollar for the BAND for Every One person that enters....

    hmm..this is getting confusing...I think it's a dollar per
    everyone in the band * the number of people who walk in *
    friction coefficient of the waitress' hand as it slaps you across
    the face when your drunk and try to cop a feel.
    
    Shane, who once again is glad I don't play music for a living

    At the end of the night we get 1/3 of the money the door brought
    in.  They charge $3 cover that night so...you do the math.
    
    Shane

    
    	Is that based on 3 bands performing?
    
    	If there were 4 bands, would you get 1/4 of the door money,
    	or $.75/person entering?  Or would the cover charge be raised
    	to $4 [$1/band] and you'd still get 1/4 of it, but now you'd
    	get $1/person entering?
    

    ..how much would you get if it was 3 bucks to get in...4 bands playing
    and you were playing two sets each in clinton starting at 4 in the
    afternoon......and didn't have directions to the gig.....?>.......

    
    	... and a train was leaving Berlin an hour later?
    

    Pay me $2 and I'll Come See ya ToNite.

    End this nonsense now !!
    
    Al, I'd pay you $2 but that doesn't even get you into the door.
    You'll still pay $1 of which I'll get .33 cents of.  ;)
    
    Shane, who thinks you guys should write the next SAT math test

    
    	.33 cents?
    
    	Geez, Shane, math isn't THAT hard.  8^)
    

    
    	From today's [Monday, 07/01] Worcester Telegram, section B,
    	North Edition, in a column by James Dempsey on the WWW after
    	doing a search on "Worcester":
    
    	Under "Entertainment", I went to the home page of the Worc-
    	ester rock band GFY, which included information on the band
    	members and a long list of things that GFY did NOT stand for,
    	including "God Fearing Yankees", "Gonads from Yaks", and "Got
    	Fed Yet?".
    

    What's the URL?

    
    	http://www.telegram.com
    
    	But I didn't read it on the WWW, I read it in the newspaper.
    

    I think she meant the URL of the GFY page!

    
    	I don't know ... it's in here somewhere.  8^)
    
    	SEARCH/NOTES=1090.0-1090.1 gfy
    

    
    	See .64.
    

    Amazing...we haven't played a gig in over a month and they write 
    about us in the paper ???  hmm...must be nothing much to write about
    down in Worcester.  We've been takin a while off to try to work on new
    stuff and been working around everyone's schedule.  Luckily one of my
    coworkers had a garage he wasn't using so now we're practicing in a
    garage in NewIpswich, NH.  We have moved up from just being a basement 
    band to a garage band !  We're really psyched.  We've been working with 
    our PR guy to do a story on how difficult it was to say goodbye to the 
    basement and enter the big time of garage bands.  We're trying to not let 
    it get to our heads.  We hope to play a few gigs in the near future so long
    as we can avoid that whole heroin usage thing that occurs once bands make it
    big.
    
    Shane...sarcasm included at no extra charge.. ;)
    
    btw...our next gig is scheduled for Aug 3 at the Espresso Bar so long
    at it doesn't burn down like the Kalidescope did.  We're playin Jul 27
    but that's at some private party ...laters..
    
                       

    Well we've come out of our temporary coma and actually have a gig
    this Saturday down at the Espresso Bar in Worcester.  It's mostly
    a teen type club seeing that they don't serve alcohol there but if
    you happen to be in the Worcester area Sat night (and maybe some of
    you still hit on teenagers) then stop by.  We'll be in the back
    grillin out and tailgating if you care to stop by.  The GFY tailgate
    party will start around 6p.  This will be our first gig in months...if
    you recall the last gig we had booked (the Kaliedescope) was cancelled
    because of the place catching fire.  This time we hope to at least 
    play a few notes before setting ourselves a flame.
    
    The Espresso Bar is on 70 James St between the Penitentiary Club and 
    London Billiards.  We'll be on around 8:30...
