I would like to point out the glaring lack of tour dates outside of the Pacific timezone, and would like to lodge a formal complaint to Veritas' Street Team for their inability to market to anyone beyond the west coasters.

Otherwise, congrats on the 2nd tour!

[Deadly]

I know I told ya this before, but the wife and I are planning to see you guys in SF.

[creepy]

Jerk. I'd see you in H-Town. Might even buy a shirt.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Brick By Brick - sweet! I saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy there about 11 years ago. Cool place.

[DevSop]

If you schedule a tour for July, I'm there.

[salmonjunkie]

sorry, next tour after this one will be in September. Probably longer, and if (crosses fingers) we get into CMJ in NYC in October, we'll do a tour going to the east coast.

Canada weeps for its lack of Veritas.


And guns.

Boo not touring again til September. Yay if you get an east coast tour where I can see ya

[OpTard]

your tours are meaningless to me until they come over here.

[Byrntrigan]

Make sure you stop in Chicago on your way to the stupid East Coast.

[BTR]

aren't you ever out of vacation time? Or are you going starving artist route?

[salmonjunkie]

This tour I'm doing LWOP. I ran out of vacation time last tour.

[Deadly]

So, I'm thinking that instead of the SF show, we'll see you in Oakland next Thursday. Much easier commute.

You should also do groupies this time around.

and fat chicks....

wait we don't weep for that, we drink to that

[punk/core]

Wait, Canada doesn't have fat chicks?

I have no reason to ever go back then, I guess.

[Habs]

After a few Canadian beers (aka real beer) no one is fat.

[punk/core]

Fat, drunk, whatever man... an easy score is an easy score.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Went to the show last night and Veritas fucking brought it AGAIN.

Seriously if you have a chance to see them, do it. You can't beat seeing a live cover of Wicked Game.

Also, this guy rocks:

[Mikey]

Exalt for going to see Veritas.

[DevSop]

Thai, I know the tour is over but will you still be doing shows in the Seattle area. Preferably in mid-July?

[Habs]

OK, any fun tour stories!!!! Let's hear them!

Tour is not over! We added some last minute dates. This evening, we're playing at Hot Topic in Horton Plaza in Downtown San Diego. Saturday, we're playing an acoustic show in Carson City, NV, Sunday another one in Reno, NV, then we go home.

But we do have shows coming up in Seattle. 5 of them, actually. One's at a skating rink. One's for a rock band camp that some people we know run, one's a show at El Corazon, headlining for a couple of bands including this cool chick band from Texas, Girl In A Coma, and on July 28th, we're direct support opening for Missing Persons!


Fun tour stories? We got heckled for the first time. In Oakland. We talked shit back to them on stage, too. The audience loved us for talking back to the hecklers. Turned out that the hecklers were the opening band (who royally sucked, BTW). When they were loading their gear back in their cars we stood outside and watched them and they couldn't look us in the eye. So Andrea stuck gum on their guitar player's cab. The exchange went like this:

"Hey, that wasn't cool!"
"Well, we had to deal with your shit"
"Everybody has to do deal with shit"
Andrea looks at the gum, "yeah, I guess you do."

She's hot.

Also, it was great to hang with Solly and Jen last night. Thanks, guys! Glad you had a good time!
