Thank you dude.

oh, and by the way- if anyone has a chance to go see Brad before their tour ends soon- don't miss the chance. What a gift these guys are. Amazing night in Philly last night and I am so forever thankful I got the chance to go and even more thankful for these guys, their work, their art, and their dedication. After all, if it weren't for Shawn, Regan, and Stone- we wouldn't be here to talk about them.. What a great night it was last night

I am glad you enjoyed breaking your live Brad cherry! Do you know the setlist, perchance? Shawn's fucking quality, isn't he?

my first show is in a few hours. can't wait!

btw, that guy on the left in your avatar pic looks like ace young from american idol. i don't watch that, i only know about him from my mom. she liked him.

Baltimore? Home of 'The Wire'. Fucking HAMSTERDAM!

I loved Brad last night. Yes home of the Wire. Never knew anything about that show til I met "Bubbles" on a train. Did not know who he (Andre Royo) was and I sat with him and his daughter going from NYC to B'more.

Brad blew me away last night. The sound was so good in that little venue. I like Shawn Smith's voice.
here are some pics:

That's an amazing story. Getting a train with Bubbles. Brilliant. Best TV show in the history of TV, by the way. It may seem a grand claim, but there's an awful lot of people who'd actually agree with that statement. My friend met Mc Nulty in a pub in County Offaly here in Ireland last week. He's here filming something at a castle in Birr.

Glad you enjoyed the show. A show in Hamsterdam! Do you know the setlist?

I need to scan my pic of Bubbles He was smiling at me and looked friendly, so that's why I sat with them. He sang to me too. what a guy!

Never heard b'more called that. I know of a source for a forthcoming setlist. I remember a few songs like 20th century, secret girl, lift, purple rain, buttercup, now what's that song pj sings about mr. faded glory and the sub teacher? Amazing!

Answers!
The song is Crown of Thorns. It's a Mother Love Bone song, the band Stone and Jeff were in before Pearl Jam. Andrew, the singer died, but was close friends with Shawn Smith. I've even got a MLB demo of an unreleased track that Shawn plays keyboards on.

I would LOVE to see your picture with Bubbles! Post it!

An explanation of the HAMSTERDAM reference: In 'The Wire' the police chief decides to make a certain area of the projects an unofficial drug dealing zone. The idea being that it takes dealing off every street corner, keeps the public safe, and is easier to police if any violence etc happens. The cops come to tell all the dealers (who are all black, incidentally), that if they deal in that area, and that area only, they will not be busted by the cops. The dealers can't understand it-it's beyond their comprehension that the cops are going to LET them deal. The cop tries to explain, and I'm paraphrasing: "you know, you can do it here, in this area, like Amsterdam" and this dealer says: "Hamsterdam? What the fuck is a HAMSTERDAM!"
So, even though it's in reference to just one of the 'low rise' projects in Baltimore, I always call Baltimore "HAMSTERDAM".

I winked when I mentioned that song I knew the title and history...thanks any way. Except I did not know they were friends.

my pics of bubbles are in my shoe boxes filled with pics from when we had those old fashioned photos. I have just one hanging up at work. for years I have been saying I'm going to post them. thanks for the hampsterdam explanation. I do not know any of the characters on the wire, only saw 1 episode. It came on HBO and I never had that. That's why I did not know who Andre was til he asked me about my job and then of course, I asked him where he works. he was on his way to B'more to film another episode of the Wire (this was 2005.)

I hope Brad comes around here again!
