Big Mistake... Are you sure you're "whooped"? I think "beaten too death" might be more appropriate.


(Oh, and Evan. Where did you get that pic? They told me they weren't going to release those.)

[smopo24]

no, lou is just whooped.

ok, maybe no girlfriend, but i would recommend taking at least one person that's not in the band on tour... they can keep you from going crazy.

If my girlfriend came ANYWHERE with my band, we would never even have a chance to practice, every 5 seconds she'd be either complaining about some thing or another (She doesnt like the music we play) or she would be mad at me for not paying any attention to her. (HELLO you were the one who wanted to come, this IS a band practise)

Interesting how women think.

I'd have a really hard time dating someone who didn't like the music that I create.

In my experiences sometimes the significant other will often be jealous of the relationships that you have with your bandmates. In their mind you are out there, having fun without them and they might just be sitting at home waiting for you to come home or call. Sure, practice is fun, it's supposed to be, but you need to approach it proffesionally if you ever want to get things done. Anyone who is in a band knows that it is actually hard work to become a tight unit. Your partner needs to understand that it is work, not a party (although the best practices can feel like one). That has at least been what has helped me out with my current relationship.

Of course, which is why I only brought her over to where we practice once, basically just to show her where we practice. Shes fine and happy not coming anyway, so I won't stir up trouble.

We do covers mainly, and she likes a few of the songs just not all of them

She was so mad at you over the summer for practicing with us Dusty. There is only one word to describe your relationship. Pussy-whipped. That is one word. Note the hyphen.
