I just sent this to the JewClaw, but here's the wonderful game of Whiffletard...
You take a whiffle bat, with the little hole in the bottom of the handle, and then slice off the very top of the bat so it's open at the big end. Then you pour in a beer, with your finger over the little hole, and the "pitcher" holds your empty can for the time being. You chug the beer and how ever many seconds it takes you to slam it back -- let's say seven seconds -- that's how many seconds you have to spin for, with your forehead on the end of the bat and the other end on the ground. Everyone counts off and when it's done, the pitcher throws the can at you and you have to try and hit it.
There are no winners and losers. Just spilling, drunkeness, falling down, and the beauty of whiffletard.

Oh, I'm very much a Bisco fan - this past New Year's was the first one I didn't spend with the Disco Biscuits in several years. Their scene still really sucks though - a lot of aggressiveness, and way too much hardcore druq abuse. Let me put it this way - a Bisco show is the only one where I ever feel like I'm in danger of getting knifed by someone in the crowd.
Also, there were a group of (very vocal) Bisco fans who were near where I was at the start of STS9, who basically stood there and talked sh*t about STS9 and how much they sucked. It was a real vibe killer to start things off. If I wasn't, you know, afraid of getting stabbed I would have said some shit, but then again it was 1 on 6.
And like I said, the druqs don't necessarily bother me - lots of people load up on whatever and dance their asses off, and have a blast. That's not what I'm talking about; I'm talking about the guys who are so blasted they can barely walk, and all the people who give off a nasty, menacing vibe when they're all tweaked out.
nasty. i didnt hear anyone complaining about it. i like sts9 and i like bisco. i like bisco more. no offense to sts9/fans. the crowd can get a little weird at a bisco show. it brings out the raver/hippy/weird/cantexplainitcrew....anyways *hugs* from me ;D too bad you werent at the new years run cuz i was at the nyc shows
Bisco fans make me feel like I might get robbed.
In fact, the group of guys who were next to us in '06 making sniffling sounds all day were big Disco Biscuit fans...that was the only band I heard them talking about.
And, I think they were trying to steal our beer. Might have even succeeded. I thought I heard them talking about it one night, and figured maybe I was being paranoid...then my friend told me the next day he'd heard it, too. The funny thing is that he and I were both laying there awake at night, peeking through the zipper hole at them, to guard our cooler, both thinking we were the only one doing it.
i've seen the many faces of bisco fans... one dude was like... "yah man, bisco is the only real jam band out there right now... like yah..." and he had holes in his shirt and dreads and he was a white dude.
then there's Killer Bee Relay Team & Sparklybecca, who really dig Bisco... they seem like ok folks! :-)

Dude... I just realized I never saw anyone selling shirts for dirt cheap on Sunday... what a drag. Maybe I'll spend the money I didn't use on gas on the way home and buy a shirt off their website

^^I think aly took it home, maybe to chick's place? All I know is that when we took it down we realized we needed screwdrivers to disassemble it and we didn't have any... d'oh!
Cory got lost Fri. night @ the STS9 show he "imagined" he was on a bus that they were ridin' on and I was the operator in my Optimus Prime Transformers mask. He woke up in a Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale w/ I.V's and a catheder in his...(ouch, you know that hurt!) The hospital lost his flip-flops and took his clothes, gave him a hospital gown and a blanket.
He spent $150 on a cab ride back to the fest and got dropped off @ the end of the paved road and the start of the gravel road on Sat. night. in his socks and gown. He said he couldn't find the camp b/c the sign wasn't lit up. He was so cold he slept in a Port-A-Pottie till the sun came up & he could find us. Oh yeah, he lost his wallet on the way back, but someone called his house and is mailing it back w/ $30 bucks in it. All in All we had a blast with the whole INFOROO/INFORADO group and can't wait to see you all soon. Kristen was very thankfull for the pics. Thanks again becca!
I never did hear Matt's story. I'm pretty sure Corey does have him beat.

Me and Jason found the screwdriver and disassembled the flagpole. It is safely stored at Chick's house... but I believe Wooz has the inforoo flag.

"All I'm saying is... what does a person with dreads down to their ankles do in the real world!?"
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I mean I kno I wasn't exactly sober when I said this but seriously!!!! WHAT DO THEY DO?!?! Tree people I'm telling you.
It's really funny because me and Brendan were discussing that earlier in the evening about what the majority of the dreaded people do in real life. We just couldn't put into such laid-out terms like you could
Those ants picked me out of the crowd and attacked... I swear they did.
Friday night my foot was on FIRE! and the next morning it was all puffy and red.
From that point on my Chucks were on my feet at night (I could see them during the day). I didn't help much... they got me on my leg above my socks.... BASTARDS!

and yeah... I have no idea what they do
About two years ago my sister in law decided to wear dreads, she had real long black hair rhat had been growing for years. She used the fake dread stuff that makes them tighten really fast and in about 4 months she pretty good dreads. It shortened her hair from below her ass, up to her mid=back.
Well I can tell you, people treated her like sshit! There was a time when her and her bf were trying to find an aprtment, and htre place wouldnt rent to her. They told them it had already been rented out, but they had appointments each time.
I public she would not only get the looks, but sometimes even comments from people. She didnt have a job at the time, and there was no way she was getting one.
She ended up wearing them for about 10 months total and cut all of her hair off. She said she couldnt take the public abuse.
