Sorry to cross post this but my band Drive-By Truckers is stranded. Anyone in the area who has any connections in Pensacola with speedy mechanics please email jen at [EMAIL PROTECTED] My boys are stranded but they are housed and fed (and probably liquored up) just having one of those road trips from hell. How many transmissions a year can you lose? I'm going to have to see if they all know how to properly drive. This was their new van. And does anyone have a estimate of how long it would take to get from Pensacola to Houston? I guess I-10 would be the quickest route. Lord, help me -- let's hope they don't get caught speeding in Louisiana. They do have the new CD with them. I heard the finished product today. The cover isn't near as tacky as the last one. And I have to say the production is better, the song choices better, (though I believe they did one of Slim's favorite songs about human excrement based of course on a true story "The Night G.G. Allin Came to Town") and way, don't listen to me I'm not objective. I do have an official title now in the Trucker Pit Stop Crew.

The van lost its transmission somewhere between Gainesville and Pensacola, but they keep truckin' on. Patterson and the boys rented a car to get to their Louisiana shows, and then after getting there, the New Orleans show was cancelled. Now the boys are headed back to Pensacola where they were able to score a couple more gigs; last night at Sluggo's - acoustic, and tonight at the Handle Bar in Pensacola with David Dondero (spelling?) and his new band. However, they still have to make it to Texas by Wednesday... As far as I know, the van is going in the shop today, if they can find one that will do the work quick. Anyone in the area who knows anything about transmissions and would be willing to lend a hand, just reply to the e-mail and I'm sure you'll get all the DBT lovin' you can handle. If you're in the area and you DON'T know anything about transmissions, go see the show! thanks ya'll Jenn **************************************** >>
