uh-oh I just got a phone call from Kayo Dot from Sturbridge, MA

[xfer]

their inspection thing didn't work out and they didn't manage to leave Boston by ten a.m.! they're driving around looking for a suitable inspection place.

Reanna, I'm concerned about their ability to be in Pittsburgh (12 hours away) by 10pm!

 

[minxnim]

ohhh no

 

[xfer]

look, since this is a band involving Toby, I think it was only reasonable to assume the first night's date might get cancelled.

 

[deadair]

this news sucks.

i hope the still make it all the way to Des Moines by friday.

also, alex, do you know if the seatbelt thing got taken care of?

 

[xfer]

in the background i could hear Ryan (or Greg?) shouting "I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING DO THAT!" and someone else firmly saying, "Well, you HAVE to fucking do that."

i'm sure they will, Jake...Toby is usually about four hours late, not four days.

I don't know what the seatbelt thing is!

 

[avi]

inspection? what is this?

 

[deadair]

oh, well they didn't know if they were going to be able to get the seatbelts installed in time... and if they didn't have time they were shipping them to me.

good to hear they are already fighting.

they have a new van; over the weekend, they found out that some of the stuff that was supposed to be fixed in it by Sunday would not be done until Monday morning. which was an issue. especially because they had to get it inspected AFTER the work was done. they were supposed to go to the place across the street from the repair shop, but for some reason "that didn't work out" (Toby). I think perhaps it wasn't a C-class (van) inspection place.

crayzee!

hope they don't explode before they make it out of town

and the thing about western PA especially is they really crack down on speeders on the interstate. they even post signs listing what your fine will be per range of mph over the speed limit.

aviroig: how dire is the kayo dot van situation?
ozmagreed: i don't think especially dire, except that it might necessitate the cancellation of the pgh show tonight
aviroig: they can't just leave without the inspection?
ozmagreed: i'm not sure, but if i had to guess
ozmagreed: i'd say their insurance doesn't work unless they're inspected
ozmagreed: AND
ozmagreed: they expect to be stopped by cops "a lot"
ozmagreed: the van has a choo choo train painted on it
aviroig: ahhh
aviroig: that'll do it
aviroig: anonymous vans are where it's at
ozmagreed: it might as well say
ozmagreed: DRUG TRAIN

hahahaha TOBY

 

[xfer]

I swear to God, when Toby dies, I'm going to arrange it so his coffin arrives halfway through the funeral. and inside, he'll be half-dressed and have his shoes in his hand.

 

[goatschool]

so wait does this necessitate an emergency paypal account?

 

[avi]

nick, that's golden

 

[xfer]

I'm putting the odds that Toby will call me and beg for money at 2 in 5.

i can't put into words how amazing this post is.

 

[chupe666]

wow a couple of weeks ago I actually thought of mailing toby some gas money but then reality (namely my wife's prescriptions) kicked in and erased my surplus.
