Nashville

Vincenzo · August 28th, 2008, 09:25 PM

So Jon and I were talking tonight and we were thinking how boss it would be if a few of us went down to Nashville to visit him!

I was thinking it would be pretty cool to go in October. I can't do it alone though - so is anyone interested in going? I would be more than happy to donate my car to the cause but it is stick so I guess switching up drivers would be out of the question for most of you.

But anyway, if anyone is interested in going to Nashville to visit our Jon a Tin some time in October let me know. I'm sure we could figure out a situation with cars and drivers. I'm only talking about a long weekend, nothing too crazy. My ass is broke so I'm not trying to drop a grand or nothing.

Kasmala · August 31st, 2008, 02:54 AM

I might be up for it, but we're in the studio from 10-13 to 10-25, obviously, I can't go if it's then.

Vincenzo · September 3rd, 2008, 02:44 PM

So Nick had this idea: If we were to meet Jon half way, maybe somewhere in North Carolina, we would be able to get the most out of the weekend. Considering it takes half a day to drive to Nashville and we would only have like Friday night, Saturday and Sunday to work with. We could just get a hotel for the weekend and drink and be merry! Maybe we can even stay at the critically acclaimed Carolina Duke Inn!

So I'm cool with that, Jon said he is cool with that. Nick is really interested in coming, he is looking in to which weekend is best for him. I know right now that the weekend of the 17th and 18th is no good for me. But I believe all the other weekends should be ok.

So is anyone else interested in going now that the drive is much shorter?

ChristianStomper · September 3rd, 2008, 06:25 PM

i think i'm down i'd have to say the weekend of the 11th is best for me...other than that im kinda out.

Vincenzo · September 3rd, 2008, 07:03 PM

Cool when I see Nick I will check that with him. I think that weekend should be fine for me. If we left on a Friday around 7 pm we would probably be at our destination around 12. That's plenty of time for some drinking!

Vincenzo · January 5th, 2009, 05:15 PM

Bump.

I talked to Jon recently and he really wants us to come down. Perhaps we could plan a long weekend in February or March?

If we can't squeeze it in with the drive being around 11 hours, perhaps we could meet half way. Durham, NC is roughly 5 hours from us and 5 hours from Jon. I know a great motel we could stay in.

BC · January 5th, 2009, 05:48 PM

I'm sure that hotel is really looking forward to it, hah.

Seawall · January 5th, 2009, 06:27 PM

I am down for this. Just would have to re work my schedule to accommodate the days I am taking off. And I can drive stick so that could save you some anguish Vinnie. Let me know the dates and I'll do my thang at work.

That's a good point! The hotel we stayed at before probably would not rent to me again after what we did to the room haha.

Bear, I have no set dates in mind at this time. January is a definate no. February I may be taking a trip elsewhere. So I was thinking March or so. I don't want to go unless at least a few of us can all go together. I would not be opposed to flying to Nashville either. I don't mind driving but depending on how much time people can get off of work we might get more for our money if we flew. Airfare is cheap as hell right now.

I hope this recession last a looooong time cause guys in the middle like me are making out for a change haha. Booohooo your 401K sucks - what happened to the rest of your 6 figures? Oh right, you bought a McMansion you can't pay for because you lease on your hummer was more than your mortgage. So kill yourself and make some room, you're not getting any sympathy from me.

Sorry - off topic. Moral of my post: I have lots of vacation time so when people are ready to make this happen, I should be good as long as a have a few weeks notice.

BC · January 6th, 2009, 08:32 AM

Somebody else will have to get the room and you just can't show your face in the lobby. They probably have pictures of all of us posted at the desk.

Vincenzo · January 6th, 2009, 10:25 AM

hahahahaha. Well, first of all, I think what we did was fair. I told them our DOOR DID NOT LOCK and they did NOTHING to remedy the problem but give me the run around. You're staying in a hotel, you have all your shit in there, I think asking for a locking door is not asking a lot. Not only that, but when we were checking out I said something to the woman at the front desk and she told me in a matter of fact tone that the door had been fixed. Thankfully the maintenance guy was standing right there and he said "No it wasn't, I told you to give them another room."

I would still like to stay there again, for nostalgia. But I'm sure we could find a much...... cleaner place to stay if we indeed did do the half way plan. I am more interested in going all the way to Tennessee I just want to do what is best to accommodate everyone. Jon is getting restless! We'll have to get a cooler so we can bring him WaWa and other Philly delicacies.

Seawall · January 6th, 2009, 11:01 AM

Well whenever we go I'm down. Plane, car, or jetpack, I don't give a fuck. As far as a hotel, if we could stay at the Majesty, we can stay anywhere.

Fuck that man, if we go to NC, we're staying in that hotel. This time we'll just get more trash and if the doors don't lock, we'll just leave our bags in the car until we need to shower.

Vincenzo · January 6th, 2009, 09:21 PM

No dude, we shower AFTER we check out. If we explain to them that we're in a band they won't mind. Bwahahaha

BC · January 7th, 2009, 12:15 PM

Yea and that the room will be in better condition after 9 of us spend a night. Not to mention we're in bands on tour.

Vincenzo · January 7th, 2009, 03:05 PM

I'm sure if we just TELL them that 11 of us want to sleep in one room they won't mind since we're all in bands, on tour. I mean we take OUR TIME out of OUR DAY to hand out autographs at the Waffle House. Don't we deserve a free room? I'm sure I can still come back and shower even after we have checked out and handed in our keys. I mean I'm in a BAND.

BC · January 8th, 2009, 03:08 PM

And I work for a record label. That's the major thing that separates me from everyone else.

Vincenzo · April 13th, 2009, 10:05 PM

Seawall · April 14th, 2009, 01:29 AM

Sweet update Vinnie. Now I know what's going on.

Vincenzo · April 14th, 2009, 11:19 AM

What's going on is with or without you assholes I am going down there. You can either come with me and share the drive or I can do it on my own. I'm probably gonna go in late May or early June.

Vincenzo · April 14th, 2009, 09:11 PM

ok here is my "plan"

Soon, I think maybe the second weekend of May, or the first Weekend of June, I am going to take a long weekend from work. I'm gonna go to West Virginia to visit the cemetery. I will prob stay in WV one night, but maybe not. I am then going to drive to Nashville and see Jon for a couple days. This kills two birds in one stone for me - there is no point in driving to WV, coming home, then driving to TN.

Now like I said I am not 100% sure on the dates yet, I will know soon. I just gotta make sure I'm not stepping on someone elses vacation time at work. And then I have to clear it up with Jon, obviously. But that's my plan. You guys can come with me if you want. The WV pit stop won't be more than a day - and we can make it a fun time anyway. If someone who drives stick comes with me then we can split the driving up and won't have to take as much time to sleep on the way down.

Anyway that's what's happening. So start thinking about it so you can all pussy out early. The sooner I know I'm going alone the more comfortable I'll be with it when the time comes. ;-)

DavidF'ingMillar · April 15th, 2009, 08:10 PM

I had a blast last time. Boris and I stayed in a cabin. It was cheap as hell. And it was a cabin.

Vincenzo · April 15th, 2009, 09:02 PM

Fuck that, I'm crashing on Jon's floor haha. He has an apartment now.

Seawall · April 15th, 2009, 09:53 PM

I'll see what I can do about going. I was going to be transferred to Exton, but then I found out it wouldn't be a full time gig sooooooooooooooo I'd probably only be able to take a weekend off.

Vincenzo · April 16th, 2009, 08:39 AM

You don't want to work in exton.

Just tell them you have bear issues and you need leave.
