It may be purely coincidental, but many of the drunk dials that came in over Saturday and Sunday night were made by folks at various webzines. As you listen, you will see that Pastepunk and different folks at Mammoth Press were quick to blow up our drunk dial hotline. I must ask, where you at Punknews and AbsolutePunk?
Alex from Pastepunk – Alex was kind enough to let us all know about the very best bands in metal, he also mentioned a couple that suck. Alex particularly likes a new band called Arsis, so metal fans, take note!
Neal from Mammoth Press - Claiming only to help out occasionally with code issues on the Mammoth Press site, he goes on to say that the party he was at was a. broken up by police and b. had some of the worst beer he has ever had. He also clues us into how he was corrupted by our good friend Sean Dore of Mammoth Press who got him started drinking about a year ago.
Sean from Mammoth Press – Sean may end up becoming our resident drunk dialer. He currently holds the record for most calls and for longest call. Sean’s first call finds him reluctant to identify himself, but he later gives clues as to who he is. He mentions his excitement for the upcoming BYO Punk Rock Bowling Tournament which he plans on attending. Sean’s second call finds him a bit drunker and calling for some of the same reasons as the first call. Sean’s final call of Saturday night currently holds the record for longest call (over 6 minutes). There are actually a cast of characters on this final call that includes Sean, Kevin of Punkrocks.net, and I think a Ryan Mendez of Yellowcard. During the call, they take shots, mention the Gamits, pass the phone around, and almost tell a Mexican joke. One of the reasons they hold back is because they think that I might be Mexican and might be offended. For future reference, I am Korean.
Here is a correction courtesy of Chunk from Lobster Records:
Hey Virgil, it’s Chunk from Lobster Records. The drunk dial with Ryan Mendez was actually me, Ryan, and John Cox from Lobster. I guess John could’ve sounded like Sean in our drunken ramblings…. We don’t want to make Sean look like even more of an alcoholic, you know? Oh, and Kevin Wade wasn’t even with us. Ryan was Kevin Wade for Halloween, so that cameo is actually still Ryan. I hope this made sense.
Take care and I love what you’re doing.
hello virgil and SHR crew:
alex from pastepunk here. in case there were any interested parties, Arsis’ website is http://www.worshipdepraved.com and their myspace is quite simply http://www.myspace.com/arsis
i love the hotline and hopefully me and buddies will be dropping you a line again in the future.
cheers!
you may need to figure out a more streamlined way to do this… or you’re going to end up taking on an employee just for this.
I will try to not be the resident drunk… for the sake of the world I will try and not be that guy.
SEAN WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME
haha… “I can’t drink this Long Island Iced Tea, it’s too strong! I only like malternative drinks”
