Hey Evan, I won the tix to Brian Jonestown Massacre for last night. I went; it was fun (didn't stay the whole show as I brought a friend who was not into it and it was a pretty big show--I SO prefer smaller shows). But it was a fun night and I am truly greatful. Thanks, again!

Gotcha, Jake. I stand corrected. Although, why not Poisson D'Or?
  10:24pm
JakeGould:

@JulieM: Why not just “The Goldfish?”
  10:26pm
Julie M:

Because then Evan could not do his excellent French pronunciation. Non?

Blame it on lack of communication and continuity as a band... or to confuse collectors and the people at MOJO magazine 20 years from now. :)

It has everything. I actually do not love the title, but everything else is so good, I no longer care.

Is Midtown Sizzler available on Vinyl? Searching finds CD and Digital only
  10:57pm

I'm pretty sure STAG will play NYC in 2018. hopefully we can present it to you all in person.

So is the title “Midtown Sizzler” about an actual Sizzler restaurant located in midtown Manhattan?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:09pm
Kat in Chicago:

Ha, quality false ending there
  11:09pm
Stevel:

Columbus Oh is a strong option, possibly Athens, OH. Ann Arbor, MI, Bloomington, IN, Madison, WI, all college towns. Also, of course, Detroit and Milwaukee and Chicago. Depends largely on what y'all are looking for!
