I'm really excited to meet this guy.
FINGERS CROSSED, in Seattle- but if not- it'll happen one of these days. Next time you guys are in Western Canada. Or in Seattle again. I don't know.

Anyway, from what I've heard, he does not disappoint.

Dylan's such a champ.
In my opinion, you couldn't have found a better replacement for Justin.
Bring him, yourself, and the others back to Australia very soon, please!

Funny story.
At a show from the recent Aust. tour (Adelaide) some friends and i were waiting at the stage before the support bands went on. I turned around only to scope a man dressed in red holding a hot pink coffee cup, drinking tea standing right in front of me. It was none other that The D Man chillin' before the show.

Surprised we knew who he was, some awkward conversation about the weather and his experiences in Aust. followed. By this time his tea was cold and he had to leave.

so.
Dylan. I'm sorry we ruined your tea....

i really like Dylan.

and i actually mean that too. i ain't even saying crap because i feel i have to support the band.

he's really nice, and at the shows i've seen it seems like he's fitting in really smoothly.

sure i miss Justin, but i'm glad you guys didn't bring in a goober.

I'm just going to have to second Billy right down to the phrasing.

Also, brilliant directing there, Shawn. All in all most likely the best introduction video I’ve ever seen. Very amusing; really can’t wait to meet Dylan now! Which reminds me; when are you going to play in Europe again? Soon I hope.

After much delay, it was nice to finally get the in-depth introduction. I was so desperately hoping to meet his pinkie and his slippers.

Like so many others, I can't wait to see how he is with you guys onstage.

Hi Dylan.
This is all very strange, like an out of body experience on a sunday afternoon.

I am excited for Dylan, yet deeply saddend by the loss of Justin.

I know he will fit right in though, and I can't wait to see you all play again!

Whoever Sherry really is, person or thing, because I really do not think a woman of her stature (as goes on her myspace) or wellbeing in many ways would even be bothered to keep coming onto Shawn's blog.

Very claudicant indeed.

Anyway, Dylan seems like a cool guy, I just hope you guys actually want to come to the UK again, after such annoying affairs with the Metropolitan Police.

dont u guys GET it? Sherry isn't even a real person! Check the myspace-hasn't logged in since 7/2007..so why would she even reference her myspace? It's just some poor soul that is being used as an alias of a fool...sort of sad to think that lady doesn't even know she is being looked at!

Claudicant? I wasn't aware we were in the 14th century, anonymous. My myspace is the only thing with a URL I would think of leaving as a personal site, even though I've forgotten the password. I have a right to leave comments on this blog, because it is public. I wasn't aware the SS of Blogger.com would be dissecting my regards as their own. Mind your own business.

If that was meant to be an insult, you lost me. You think "talking circles" will demean me, when all it does is affirm my guess that you eight year olds are struggling to impress bands who don't seem to care much about your behalf. Had this band member a lot more time on his hands, I'm sure he'd be able to respond to you all, myself as well.

Shawn, you ought to be on this thing more, for the readers/commentators. IMO, anyway.

oh! and my friend amber, your rudeness has left an impression in my mind, that I really don't find you all that entertaining, so if you could, just skim over what I have to say from now on, and I'll do the same for your posts. it'll save a lot of space on here for decent ones. if you don't, I'll shrink to the worse person and rebuke, and we'll be at it for a long ass time.

alicia, there are some rights and wrongs to your post. i don't have to "go away", i have just as right to be here as you little nasties do, and just because i'm not trying to kiss shawn's ass does not mean i deserve negative feedback, i don't deserve any feedback at all. none of what i write concerns anyone besides shawn, so let me be unless you're him. fucking vultures.


i think dylan is a smarmy little boy, but he's got a lot of spunk and he's not a bad bassist... thus i give him my kudos.

Anonymous alicia said...

I apologize for not practicing what I preach, but you see, Ms.Bridges, what you write DOES concern me when you call me out as you just did, ESPECIALLY when I did not necessarily call you out. I was speaking not to you, but to the other people who post here because they want to respond to what Shawn has written, and not have to read your irrelevant, attacking rants.

I suggest you e-mail him with your concerns, you're likely to get a lot less shit, and you just might get an answer.

alicia - i appreciate the tone of your comment, it sounds rational and wise. sounds, doesn't necessarily mean it is. i hardly think my comments are "rants", as they only span about two or three sentences at the max, save for my defensive ones (lol). they might be irrelevant to the common eye, but who's to say it's not an inside joke between me and shawn? i'm not saying it is, but one would never know.

as for emailing him... ehhh... i feel i'd have better luck getting a response on this page than an email would.
i have to thank you though, alicia, for being the first person i've come across with sense here.
