#20. Never took guitar lessons

April 26, 2005

JOHN: You ever take guitar lessons?
DAN: Nah, dude. Well... I was going to once....

JOHN: Yeah?
DAN: Yeah, but the night before I was up really late and this show about Keith Richards was on.

DAN: He talked about how rock is just in you, or it isn't. And you can't force it, it's just nature... it really make me think....

DAN: Anyway, I slept through the lesson and my mom said she wouldn't pay for any more.
JOHN: Man, your mom is a Grade A jerk, dude.

#19. We need more gigs

April 19, 2005

JOHN: We just... we need more gigs, you know? If, if we had more gigs, we'd be better.

CHRISTINA: Actually, John, while that's somewhat true, what would really make us better is if we practiced as much as we say out here and smoked pot.

JOHN: You know, man? Gigs.

CHRISTINA: Yeah.

#18. Song about Carole

April 12, 2005

JOHN: OK. I'm finishing the lyrics to "Screw You Carole" and I need another word that rhymes with "Carole".
DAN: OK.

JOHN: So... so far I've used... "Clairol", "barrel", "feral", "sterile", and... "NARAL".

A pause.

JOHN: What? Carole and I had a complicated relationship, dude....
DAN: "Feral"?

#17. After the breakup

April 5, 2005

JOHN: It's like, she was such a huge part of my life, so it's not just like my girlfriend left me, but my whole life.

JOHN: And so now it's like, what now? Where do I go? It's all gone, my future, I don't even... it's all gone.

DAN: I hear ya, man. It's... you know, it's tough. And whenever you wanna talk, you just let me know.

DAN: We should probably finish this set first though maybe.

#16. First time at North 6th

March 29, 2005

JOHN: Wow... our first show at North 6th! Man, this rules.
DAN: Hey look! Someone's scalping tickets!

JOHN: Hey man, how much are these going for?
BEN: I dunno, at this point, I guess like $3 each.

BEN: They're been kinda hard to unload. People just don't wanna pay to see one good band and one crappy little local band.

JOHN: Hey... we are that crappy little local band, man.
BEN: OK... well, I could knock it down to $4 for both, but that's about it...
