Hi everybody,

I'm from Denton, TX and I'm booking a tour of the southwest with some friends of mine. We'd like to hit Juarez, Roswell, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. Could you help me out with some contacts and stuff?

The acts touring play mostly twisted folk and space rock.

thanks,
David

Juarez

Really. Buy a map.

I'm aware Juarez is in Mexico.

And trying to make friends in NM.
Of course this is probably some alter ego booby trap.

it's on the border and I don't know of any message boreds in Mexico and I can't speak Spanish anyway so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. We all used to be part of Mexico anyway before Andrew Jackson and all that shit.

Seriously, just looking for the names of some venues.

Then you should try to find an El Paso forum since it's actually across their boarder. Good luck.

Good Lord. Man's just trying to get some help here. No wonder people don't want to come here with reception like this. I mean, it's not even witty.

Hang in there Admiral. There are a lot of decent people here and someone with something worth saying will help you out. Just give them a chance to log back in.

We helped this band from Denton called Fishboy with shows a couple of times. Cool dudes. Email me at giranimals@yahoo.com and I'll get you some contacts.

A bunch of us were looking for a Denton show last week, but decided on a different route because of no luck.
message me and let me know the dates:

P.S.
I like the idea of regional mini-tours this season. Fuck other states. NMporvidacacahuate.

the best of luck, Admiral!

yeah, I know Fishboy. He's a talented dude.

thanks, I'll message you both tomorrow.

I'm sure I can help you guys get a show in Denton if you ever need one.

Not trying to be "witty". I was a little insulted at what seemed like a jab at our state. When I understood his intentions, I offered what I thought was a helpful suggestion for his need for contacts to get gigs in Juarez. And then wished him good luck. I did not flame or attack him as you suggest. Have a nice day.

I would try clovis or Las cruces before roswell.
Unless you're just going there for the alien crash museums...and even then I don't think it's worth it.
Carlsbad also has something going on.

levi's got a ton listed on his website.

I'd also add 3rd Street Arts, The Blackbird Buvette, and Winning Coffee house
But don't call The Golden West (it burned down) or Launchpad (scheduled to reopen in June).

thanks for the help everybody.

We got a show at the Humble in Santa Fe on July 23. We decided to skip Albuquerque because of lack of time.

We're even playing Juarez!

NICE! I really meant it when I wished you luck. Let us know how things go, and when you might have time for us next.

A teensy bit overly sensitive, no? Pride sucks. Nothing good can come from pride. Why so proud of New Mexico anyways? God, I'm sorry, that's just embarrassing.

Let me offer some constructive criticism. You're sending some major mixed messages with that "Mr. FUCKOFF" shit. Like Jenny said, it's not even funny. I suggest changing your name and ditching that snooty signature line. It's interfereing with your ability to be friendly and think positive thoughts. It's not a good way to make friends and influence people. I mean no offense - just a suggestion!

LOL

That's comedy gold right there!

Isn't that a book or something? MR.Fuckoff, you should read this...or tell me to fuck off. Either way you might make some friends.
