Funny quote... my friend Bailey had this to say about our song War With Utah, Not Iraq"
"one good thing about the protracted war in iraq, this song's shelf life has exceeded all expectations"written by: eric posted on: February 10, 2009
Hmmmmmm.... I always knew that smoking pot had adverse effects on the life of the user. These adverse effects can include things like 7 world records or maybe 14th olympic gold medals. If I hear one more big fat slobby news reporter talk about how this poor guy has let people down as a role model, i'll puke. How dare any fat slob say that this perfect athlete is a bad role model? I say smoke more weed, Michael, but be careful not to lose your endorsements! If you criticize Michael Phelps and you haven't been to the Olympics and won several gold medals, you're just pathetic. I hereby render your opinion null and void.

Snowdown... What an utterly insane event. In our annual snowdown show I think we actually played the least of everyone, starting around 12:30. Dialogue had left the crowd totally ravished, with their first set in 3 years, super fun. The Sweats jammed before that, Belly Dancers, and Solar Bear in the guise of the Egyptian Scoundrels did a really sweet opening set. It was 1 in 1 out most of the night, sort of a relief to get on the stage where you could sort of move. Another great party at the Summit... we'll be back there for the St. Patty's Day Amateur Night Shit Show.

A quote from our friend Thomas We had a chance to hang with our buddy Thomas Sneed up in Jackson, he's one helluva mandolin player and a super fun guy! He sent us a quote for our presskit that I think kicks ass, thought I'd pass it along.
"Aftergrass, is a fully blossomed unit, of highly evolved major pickers that have carved something special by melting their talents together into a hot sound that fulfills the promise of modern jamband. I thoroughly enjoyed their performances"---Thomas Sneed, Reeltime Travelers
If you never heard Thomas' old band, the Reeltime Travellers, you've missed out, check them out on YouTube. written by: eric posted on: January 22, 2009
People who are good.. And tell you all about it.. You know, getting off a tour of ski towns, and having some time to sit back and reflect has given me sort of a cynical view towards narcissism. I realize that by writing this, I'm being narcissistic so I'll be a little more specific. In the last two weeks I've heard so many people tell me how good they are at skiing, snowboarding, sound engineering, playing music, and just general stupidity. It is very healthy to have confidence in your abilities, but usually bragging about them in a bar is a clear sign of insecurity. I am writing this as a public service to people who talk themselves up like that. You sound like a total retard, I just want you to know that for your own sake. The other night I played my douchebag with a guitar gig opening for a local band. I met their drummer who hadn't been speaking for more than 10 seconds when he said "I'm sick of being the best drummer in town. Everyone just tells me how good I am and I'm just sick of it" Seriously. That really happened. No really.... So this guy said this, but what I heard is "Hi, i'm a douchebag. I'm very insecure so I'm trying to assert my abilities" The funny part is.. I think it is getting worse. Humility seems to be disappearing, where have the chill humble people gone? written by: eric posted on: January 20, 2009
