I've done my bitching (wtf, her kids were wearing $300 jeans and $200 shoes and we're feeling sorry that they don't get to live in the "castle" anymore??) I just wanted to say thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. We (read "missy only") butchered Suddenly Seymour, and it made my weekend. I can't wait to move down there so we can all work on that whole "being social" thing. <3 You're one of my nearest and dearest (even if irony pisses you off that much) and I wish to spend many more memorable and insane evenings with you in the near future. You're my favorite pan-face. I am totally not going to get into the protest part.

I thought your band seemed about as confused as us about what was going on, and hearing your side makes me even more pleased that you played for us anyway. You guys were great! Josh - the kids have unusual names, so we never expect anyone to remember them. I generally refer to them as "the one with long messy hair" "the girl with short hair" and "the boy" when I'm talking to people. Dave – thanks for clearing that up some.

I figured you guys weren't involved with the castle part, partially because you seemed kind of baffled by the whole thing, but also because if you were involved, you probably would've been more ... animated about the event. Either way, dubious as it may have been, it was still a great performance. Makes me wish I had made the trek to Gresham. ... I can't believe I just said that. Hey Dave, thank you for your comment.

Found your lovely blog after doing some Googling for information about yesterday's very strange gig. I just wanted to set a few things straight, because it seems like there's some rumors going on about what happened. We were asked to play some songs in front of the "castle" by these folks: http://thisislostgospel.blogspot.com That's all. We weren't affiliated with any causes or protests or anything like that. We were just supposed to play some songs. The Lost Gospel folks were filming us for their blog. All we knew was that we were supposed to drive to the "castle," wait around for 20 minutes or so, and play four or five songs. Fair enough. Once we got to the "castle," a truly awful confrontation occurred with the neighbors. We were threatened, yelled at, our license plate numbers were taken down, police were called... it was really shitty, and we had NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. Things got so fucked up that we were considering going home, because it got so weird and nobody was telling us what was going on or what we were supposed to do. At this point the Lost Gospel folks decided that we should play in the street on the other side of the castle. The street being a one lane road with construction fence blocking half of it. Doing this would have immediately gotten us fined or, at worst, arrested by the police that arrived approximately ten minutes later. Not to mention the fact that having a crowd of forty or fifty audience members in the street would have made things that much worse. At this point were very strongly considering going home. We were put in the position of playing a gig in unsafe and legally dubious conditions, or bailing on it and looking like jerks, even though we didn't have anything to do with organizing it in the first place. At the last minute, the final performance location was arranged by the folks in charge. The only reason we ended up playing is because we heard that a bunch of people (your excellent self included) had made the trek up the hill, and we didn't want to let everybody down. So, thank you for being a nice and generous audience. We were bummed and freaked out and confused and hopefully it came across that we were happy to play for a bunch of people that wanted to see us. xo, Dave Hey there,
