Phone calls in the middle of the day
Nothing pisses me off more than a phone call that wakes me up. Especially when it's the boss calling me in to work on my night off. However, I do enjoy the rare occasion when Jerome happens to call, even though it wakes me up. I enjoy these calls b/c I know there's either A) An interesting story or B) Good news. Plus he likes to ramble and by the time the conversation is finished, I am wide awake and unable to go to back to sleep. Here's a conversation from the other day:
Editors note: This conversation may or may not have taken place. I could have very well dreamed the whole thing.
jt: Hello(in my scraggly morning voice)
Jerome: Hey man, are you working this weekend?
jt: no(still groggy and totally out of it)
Jerome: I'm probably gonna be able to get some paper this weekend
jt: Really?
Jerome: Yeah man, it'll be awesome to have some for DBT!
jt: Yeah, that would be awesome
Jerome: I gotta go to (insert bar name here) and pick it up
jt: Yeah, I know where that's at
Jerome: O.k. I don't, so you're going with me
jt: Alright
Jerome: Guess what else?
jt: What?
Jerome: I've got VIP camping passes to the Fire Lake Festival
jt: What's that?
Jerome: Dude, it's some big ass festival in Cherokee, SC and I got free VIP passes thru the radio station and I got 150 bucks and they're gonna give more money once it's over. Here's a list of all the bands that are going to be there.
At this point he names every single act that is going to be at this festival. Of course he calls Sugar Ray, Sugar Gay
jt: Haha, Sugar Gay
Jerome: Yeah, you seen that shit on VH1 right?
jt: Yeah, what a shithead. Maybe he'll sing that song he did with Shania.
Jerome: It'd be cool to see Devo on some trip At this point Jerome goes into the chorus of "Whip it"
jt: Haha
Jerome: You may have to buy a camping pass, but you'll be able to hang with us
jt: That's cool
Jerome: Yeah, guess what else? He doesn't give me a chance to guess Son Volt is coming to the Orangepeel!
jt: I saw that on the Orangepeel's website
Jerome: I get to interview them!
jt: Sweet
Jerome: Of course, you'll be my photographer
jt: You know this
Jerome: Well, I'll call you this weekend and we'll go get the stuff
jt: Yeah, get the stuff
Jerome: Alright man, oh, did I wake you?
jt: Yeah, but it's alright. As long as I get about 5hrs sleep, I'll be alright. Talk to ya this weekend
Jerome: Later
jt: Later

What's the scoop on everyone's plans for next weekend in Ashevegas? I know fo-shizzle we'll be down there because we are in Asheville almost every weekend.
Let me know. We might get a place to crash down there... might not.
Which reminds me. Becky and I go to Asheville so much that we actually considered getting a really cheap ass apartment downtown. Something ghetto style that would keep us from climbing that big mountain at 2am. I would love to do it actually.
Everyone would get a copy of the key of course.
And Son Volt. I saw that. But I'm not sure. Jay Farrar go so incomprehensible on his last couple of albums that I could barely stand to listen.

Oh and speaking of music festivals. I posted something over at my newly located spot about a music festival coming here to Jocy and one of the people who will be playing:

The last time I'd listened to Son Volt was their 2nd album. However, Jerome had got a radio demo(about 6 songs from their new album) and the songs are actually pretty good.
Of course Wilco is coming back to Thomas Wolfe Oct. 14th!!!! I didn't get a fucking email for presale, so I'll have to get them this Saturday.

Wilco's coming back! WTF? I didn't get an e-mail either. What gives.

I don't know what the deal was. I tried to guess a few passwords but it didn't work. I'll just settle for ticketbastard this Saturday.
