Well, day 1 of Bikes, Blues, and BBQ has been completed. Bikes, Blues, and BBQ is the second largest bike rally in the world, second only to Sturgis. over 300,000 people come in from out of town each year. Which is actually 5 or 6 times the population of the actual city of Fayetteville.
The Nick Nolte's were the first performers of the day. We played for vendors and the sound guys. Quite interesting... For those of you who are curious who the Nick Nolte's are, it is Chad and I playing all cover songs that are requested from people in the crowd. It goes over best in a bar/club atmosphere with people close to the stage. Here is the downside to yesterday's show...It was not in a bar/club atmosphere, nobody really requested anything, and the closest person was the guy selling corn dogs the size of an infant.
It's all in good fun though, the stage was definitely the largest the Nick Nolte's have ever played on. Here is some fun pictures taken...
Notice the row of Johnny on the Spots in the background...
I am going to try and keep you guy's informed on a day to day basis for Bikes Blues this year. The other days will be better, I will have my camera with me at all times to document. See ya tomorrow.
WHAM!!! What was that you ask? That was the sound of the new album dropping. You know what you wanna do, you wanna buy the new Thanks For Nothing album, "Masquerade," don't you! Well, here, download it.
I really think we might be the first people to ever try and get people to buy things directly out of a blog. Don't you want to make history with us? Just do it. In the meantime, while your listening to the songs you just purchased, you can head to tfn.bigcatel.com and buy the album. It's totally worth it. Just do it.
Moving on. So this last weekend, we traveled on the...Wait, time out. I just want to say sorry to everyone who had to get re-added due to the myspace deletion a few weeks ago, I must say that it was the most annoying and frustrating thing ever. Thanks Tom, keep up the good work.
Anywho, last weekend, we went to Louisville, Kentucky and Carbondale, Illinois. Louisville, the Phoenix Hill Tavern, it was an "audition" show for future shows and opening dates for big bands. I guess we will all see if we suck or not here in the next coming weeks. Carbondale, freakin awesome. Awesome enough for us to show this wicked prank on Jacob and part of the show.
Boomshakalaka. A PICTURE!
and another!
Like a ton of bricks. So we were at Mickey D's, Jacob KarDossian decides to drop some serious rock change on a toy, one of the star wars, or star trek, or whatever things that they have right now. After further viewing at said toy, I could not help but notice how close it looks to Tom Cruise. Check it out for yourself.
It could probably pass for a mix between John Travolta and Tom Cruise...Johm Travoltacruise. Kinda ironic that they both study scientology, meaning their religious figures are tall, skinny, gray creatures that drive spaceships. So on that note, be sure to pick up your Johm Travoltacruise toys and McDonald's.
Our merch booth is huge now. Lots of clothing, buttons, keychains, and everything else a homeless person would need. We have this tree shirt that will sell like creeAZY. Check it out...
Now buy it at tfn.bigcartel.com
On that note, I'm peacin.
Everyone come out to George's this Saturday Night. It's the cd release party. Justin Brasher, Will Gunselman, Apollo's Creed, and The Commoners will be there. Come check it out! 18 and up, $5, and yeah. Go.
