Todd Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I decided to "upgrade" one of my Green Day shirts. I got it on tour in 2013 and was conflicted about what size to get it in because I was between sizes at that point, so I got a large. Since I really like the shirt and I saw it on Green Day's website, I decided to order it in an XL. Didn't realize how worn mine old one was! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's doing a book tour with his new book and was in the Midwest. There wasn't a schedule posted so I messaged him on Facebook asking if he was coming to Indianapolis and he said he was tonight! It was a small book store, maybe 15 people there. Asked some early Green Day questions and really enjoyed his stories! Really nice guy! I had a great time. Got 1000 Hours signed by him. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I've met larry a couple times, he's a nice guy. I have a picture somewhere of me by him where i'm super drunk. this was back in 2008 at the final Ergs show in Asbury Park NJ, i'll see if i can post it tomorrow. i talked to him briefly back in December in Baltimore at the final Dead Mechanical show, but that was a pretty bad night for him so our convo was brief. He did a book signing that night that i missed out on but i did get my copy that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yesterday my dad asked me what I'd like for my birthday and I immediately thought of asking him to buy me a ticket to see Green Day the next time a chance pops up, but I can't do that because my birthday is two weeks from now and nothing is confirmed yet so it's not even sure there will be a tour in the near future. Besides it would be an awesome opportunuty to just persuade my parents to let me travel abroad to see the band - they wouldn't let me do that before even if I would be going with a friend and his family. I'm going to be an adult now and I've spared enough money to pay for all this so there really is no reason why they should have a problem with it. They could go with me if they wanted to. But I don't think it would be fair to ask any of this when I can't make any concrete plans and we can't make an agreement. My parents think that travelling because of a concert is bullshit and they underestimate my obsession with this band so in all likelyhood, they will always be against my travel no matter any promise they make. Long story short, I'm praying for an announcement in the next two weeks because seeing Green Day would be the best birthday gift ever, even if I was the one paying for it. Yes, I'm this pathetic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents once gave me a voucher for a flight to a destination I can choose to see Green Day. It was one of my all time favourite presents and your parents could do something like that even without knowing any upcoming dates. If they don't like the idea of traveling to see a band it might be difficult but at the same time a flight could be used for something else, too, so maybe that's an option for them as the main point is to make you happy with a gift and it seems like your biggest wish is something like that so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My birthday is on March 29th (the day the TriBeCa tickets come out) if I can get tickets, my parrents agreed to pay for my plane ticket as long as I cover everything else. Just an idea for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be a solution I could take a nice trip even if there was no Green Day. There's a lot of possible places to go not very far from me so a train or bus would do. I think that's what I'll tell them if they ask again and just casually mention the concert. 14 hours ago, XxXxXxXxX said: My birthday is on March 29th (the day the TriBeCa tickets come out) if I can get tickets, my parrents agreed to pay for my plane ticket as long as I cover everything else.

Beerjeezus Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 So, I've just finished watching Broadway Idiot. It's a good documentary as well as a good promo for the musical. I didn't like the recorded versions of songs from the musical, so I didn't expect much either from the musical or the movie, but this made me change my mind. The stage production has a lot of energy in it when you can see what is going on onstage. I liked how the documentary showed the process of making the play, especially Tom Kitt's insights into the arrangements. I did like what he did from what I could hear. It's difficult to adapt such simple songs for a string section and more singers withought making it sound cheesy. He seems to have avoided that, or at least he had a sensitive approach to it. It was great to see his and Michael Meyer's attitude to working with this material. They both revealed new layers in it. The movie is in general very good, the amount of live footage and talking heads is pretty well balanced. What I think there was a bit too much of was the live footage from BIAB, however it's no major issue. I was nicely surprised to see the footage from the 1996 show in Prague. I didn't know there was any and to tell the truth I'm very happy they chose a recording from my city. Just for the sake of Green Day sort of acknowledging its existence. To be continued in the fangirls thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maddie86 Posted March 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2016 so this isn't really a green day thing, more of a me thing that relates to a green day song. i had a dream last night about this girl i had a huge crush on like 14-15 years ago. If i were to do a High Fidelity style top 10 heartbreak list she would be at #2... anyways, i just listened to AI because of this dream, because whatshername is a song i'm totally feeling right now. i heard that right after high school she started dating this dude who didn't treat her well (did she ever marry old what's his his face?). that's all i heard and then a few years after that she started working at a business right next door to where i was working. i saw her in the parking lot once and she pretended not to see me. it's weird that every so often i think about her or have a random dream about her, but she's never been an internet person, no facebook or anything (she disappeared without a trace!), so no way of finding her or anything. i'm sure nothing would happen between us but it'd be nice to catch up. other songs relating to this: Speed of Mutation by Screeching Weasel and Lighters by Plow United. PS i'm drunk. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Lady Cobra has a very cool vocal melody. It's so fun to sing and easy enough for me. I'd love to hear blues covers of Hitchin' A Ride and On The Wagon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
