Why, God, WHY?

its been a bit. my apologies. we have been in indonesia and the phillipines. internet was not as readily available. we have been everywhere in the world this year- ruining peoples fun everywhere. its strange to sit back and think about sometimes- cos we are just some crappy dudes from the midwest... we arent some put together boyband. its kind of insane when you thnk about it. thank you for the adventure.

in all honesty we cant wait to get back to the states and play some shows. the one we have ready for YWT is gonna be crazy, got some ideas we have never messed with before. and i know i am always saying on here that we have some crazy suprise planned but then i dont tell the suprise- so here's one: we are going to play a couple of secret shows on the tour- duh whats new- but we are going to be playing only take this to your grave songs at these shows. keep your ears to the ground, we are going to keep these very secret.

in addition, were opening the first clandestine store in chicago. being the hometown, i want this to be a place people can hang out before shows or before you go and buy s&m goth gear over at the alley or whatever- so weve got some old video arcade games and other cool stuff to do while your girlfriend's friend's little sister tries on clothes. we are gonna have a couple of items that will only be available in the store- but if you have any ideas let us know.... also, let us know if there are any songs you really wanna hear us play on the YWT.

patrick and i will be doing in store signings for fender at guitar stores in california and chicago on the tour- october 9 at sam ash on sunset blvd. in hollywood, oct. 21 at sam ash in buffalo grove, il. more info on that soon.

weve been writing songs like crazy. contrary to the heavy blogging- the new record is not gonna be a folk record. its gonna be raprock.

blah.



take care of your fingers. give em a rest from the keyboard now and again.

I'd cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry. And cry...

It would just be so, crazily stupid. Just totally, ridiculously dumb. A complete train wreck.

Then, someday, on some VH1's "Has-Beens of the 00's" show they'd have a clip about FOB, about their meteoric rise to fame, and how it all came crashing down when they made the dubious decision to put out a raprock record. And Hal Sparks would mock them, mercilessly. And that Joel Stein guy who's always on those VH1 shows.

Who exactly would do the rapping? Srsly? Joe? Because it can't for the love of fuck be Wentz, and Patrick may be capable of many vocal feats, but this is not one of them.

And you can't tour an album of guest appearances.

Sir Mixx-A-Lot.

I hear you. I think I'm just laughing because that's always my first reaction to horrifying news. Seriously, I laugh at funerals.
