103 posts... or Blogaroo's, if one wants to use the proper terminology

What happened last week... our hero tries to recall shortly before he is to hit the ice for a fine high-paced hockey game. i was thinking about that... i made some pretty good plays last week... perhaps i should promote my rec hockey rather than the musical ventures... it's entertainment right! and it's free... The crowd could drink spiked hot drinks and weigh in on the weather

I'll just leave that.

For the second week in a row a man named Cam came down and laid down a fine clinic. It was Cam Owens and he was telling stories and warning the audience that they might have to listen for some clues in the songs. Excellent stuff!



Then it was 21 Tandem Repeats turn and old SR had his head up his ass calling the wrong configurations. Should have hit Bengal Tiger after Bent, then perhaps Carolina and Scarb Jacket, Mr Greenie, i scratch my head...

live and learn



after the show Super Steve was down right depressed from our general negativity towards what we did... in an effort to cheer up old SR he had this line "And on Wishing Machine you had the crowd singing along with the la la la la's... Well it took them a minute!"

Good times all around

May 14 Re- Cap

Cameron Dilworth put on a full clinic this night. This guy is good. The Show was called The New Music Super Robertson Supper Show and it was called that in jest because a festival called New Music West was starting in Vancouver that night. The festival had to change it's name from Music West, because it was run by a bunch of shifty hacks that knew a few things about soaking indie bands for bogus application fee's all the while pushing the same old same old.

My Old Band ROADBED use to loose 20-30 bones per annum, trying to get heard through that industry outlet. It was always the same bands that got to play. Later, like a few years ago... Shockk, who was with me in Roadbed, and left to play in Mongoose, ended up getting a show there with Mongoose. The only problem was that Mongoose was on tour in another part of the country at the time. Mongoose never applied... they were just a big band in the city who got to the head of the line without even trying. i recall Shockk saying "I have become what i hated". Beware of industry things... they are like a bucket of leaches that latch on to the hopes of music folk and suck them dry.

Probably why New Music Super Robertson is one of the finer festivals in town... no money is exchanged.

Is today may 8 or 9th?

i set in on my pathway to sign into blogger and got completely derailed trying to find the meaning of the word "erudite". It seems to be a term used to describe a person as learned or scholarly...

where was i...

too many distractions around here.

now we are clear.. looks like i might have about 15 minutes.
Just lost a few minutes trying to put a link to a news story that has expired on the 24 hours website... apparently you can get it for 10 bones.

First.

On May 7 2008 we were 15 minutes late starting, which is completely fucking unacceptable. i take responsibility for that fiasco.

Uncle Stan came out to do "running puppet commentary", which is apparently a very brave thing to do... Uncle Stan is a pro so no worries. We had a "Stan Cam" running so there will be some good footage shortly.

this is not from the Stan Cam



We did our monthly Blog review the other day and have fined Earl Parrish $400 for his savage attack and unfair blaming of show start delay on a person who shall remain anonymous... for the sheer continuity of the blog. Lets go with this one... Now i can't, as the "Rule of Robertson" states "delete something in the blog" as it is a record of a state of mind, others may disagree. Too bad i wasn't Dick Cheaney.

So if you read this blog lets update the paragraph from the last blogaroo that starts "It's what happened before the show that is interesting to note..." and replace it with this better and more accurate "If Super Robertson ain't going to take the bull by the horns when he is in the ring then he shouldn't be whining about it after he gets gored. And you think that is a gore.. it is an insignificant nick you sissy"

the Main reason the show started late was because that Fucking idgit Fire-Man was causing feedback with his fucking corn fed "monkey with the microphone" bit... then he had the audacity to try to call Deuce up to the front to work the curtain. For fuck sakes you call the guy in the tuxedo up to work the curtain when the guy who was just 20 minutes away from winning "the most reliable curtain pull" is sitting stage left.
