2 jokes in a row plus a challenge from the Mr. Grumpy Man! I love you Sharkbait.

" cracking jokes, making obscure song & movie references, picking on each other, talking about politics/religion/books, yawning and occasionally finding time to play a song or two. "

So you DO rehearse your show!

Anyone else going on Friday?

MM: make the retort - I can take it.

Elspeth: What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A drummer.

Right Maroon?

And in fairness...How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb? 10 - 1 to change it and 9 to say "I can do it better".

Heh heh. I'm sure the Sunday morning show will be a no request show. Wouldn't be Sunday morning without it.

Lol, one of the reasons I usually prefer drummers.

So on to other intersting things, I saw you have the schedule up for Norman, my question is, the 10:30 show on Sunday, will that be a No Request show? Because I have scheduled off just to see that show.

Sharkbait... I'm trying to be very good and not make a comment in retort to your "I'm pretty much brain dead being a guitar player" comment there... I really, really am.

CiCi's Grandma: as long as you don't hit a dumpster as I've been known to do (see the pics from 2008) although that was at least a memorable birthday especially since I still have the scars to prove it

Elspeth: you have to remember that I'm also mostly brain dead being a guitar player I never intentionally ignore fans when I'm on stage - off stage I mainly just ignore the other Pumps LOL. I do try to run to cash when it's waved at me so I'm now seriously ashamed of myself...

Simon it might not be your birthday weekend, but it is mine and I can't think of a better way to spend it. I'm with Jewels and Elspeth just waiting and counting down the days.

OK, the Bilge Pumps have entered themselves in a contest for a free 3-song EP session with Slash to write and perform with us along with a ton of other stuff. Go here to vote for us to win... because how great would it be to have the recording industry figure out what to do with us?

oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. New music, Norman in 3 wks, new music, Norman in 3 wks! ohboy, ohboy, ohboy!!!! Still sooo loonnggg!!

Humph, those must be really big tips, Sharkbait, I waved a $20 at you one time and you just stood there, hands fold on your guitar, staring off into space. Is that anyway to treat a fan?

Even though Norman is not falling on my birthday weekend this year please feel free to bring me lots of presents anyway - it's never too early to bribe a pirate with gifts

Believe it or not it takes about 2 to 3 hours of rehearsal a week to suck as much as we do That's assuming we can all be herded together to rehearse. Okay, let's be realistic - we don't really rehearse so much as sit in a room cracking jokes, making obscure song & movie references, picking on each other, talking about politics/religion/books, yawning and occasionally finding time to play a song or two.

I have definitely been known to dance for tips only because I love money shoved in my belt.

We got ourselves a new recording studio built! That means work is finally progressing on the Christmas CD we're been promising for the last 3 years. I'll get some pics up of it soon.

Cici's Grandma, I'm sorry, it's just that now that all the kids are grown and flown away, I have a little more time & $$$ to make road trips. (I live for roadtrips!!) (worked around work & school, of course)

Does Squeegy need to rehearse? Actually a bit surprising that the show is a result of rehearsals.

4 weeks.

The answer's easy. Squeegy's going back to his regularly scheduled life. In this case, going back to school, which precludes him from making rehearsals which precludes him from making the shows or being on our Christmas CD. It's unfortunate, but we always wish him the best. You might still see him in a fill-in capacity during the year if we're missing a pump for a show.
