    I am pretty sure I will go with the standard... but I was just curious what everyone else did...

    I know, I think most of us were getting a real kick out of this thread. Its like admitting to listening to Mayer in public ;)

    I got an idea for you, how about the puffy pirate shirt from the Seinfeld show?

    i think everyone in your band needs to wear those huge foam cowboy hats like jim carrey wears in dumb and dumber.

    Hey House have you decided what to wear tonight? I looked at your website, that's a cute outfit.

    thanks, I wear that "outfit" most shows, but I feel like changing it up... you know, the people will get restless if I always wear the same thing... ;)

    I am still undecided on what to wear tonight though... I thought about stopping by Hot Topic at the mall...:D

    I will likely end up wearing the same thing though... I am also considering wearing one of my PJ wristbands... I don't know if I want to be "that guy" though.

    Make a shirt that says, who the fuck is (insert your band name here)


    Or who the fuck is House 53.

    Or Who the Fuck is Mic Jagger?

    Change would be nice.

    haha. i almost made a shirt that said "no rodeo" for the show i had during stampede one year. then i decided i'd rather not get my ass kicked.

    actually, now that i think about it, "no rodeo" is a cool name for an alberta band. ok guys, i now record under the moniker "no rodeo".

    I could be like Keef... with the Mick Jagger shirt

    I will probably wear one of my three "Official House53 Drinking Shirts." For those evenings when a good amount of partying will be taking place... nothing but a "Drinking Shirt" will do...

    I might go barefoot on stage too... go for that Tom Petty, Chris Robinson thing.

    That would be awesome with the slashed circle cancelling out the rodeo.


    Your first album title Pirate Rodeo! Ha.

    Lately when my guitar player and I open the show with an acoustic set... we call ourselves a random name...

    If you guys have some ideas, I can use that for the next show.

    It'd be pretty cool if you could get a girl in a dominatrix out fit to put on a strap on and a cowboy hat for the cover.


    IMHO get a nice rug if you plan on not wearing shoes and don't step in wet spots if someone spills a beer. or you'll get massively shocked.

    I could wear the shirt from the Onion my friend gave me for my birthday...

    it says: "Your favorite band sucks."

    Always a hit... or my "Still Pissed at Yoko" t-shirt... also a fan favorite.

    My friend has a t-shirt that says "GOT MILK" and every time he wears it when he plays, he gets flashed.
