What I've learned from Heavy Rebel Weekender

[Dvine Misfortune]

HAHAHAHAHA!

I've learned that it's not a good idea for me to drink tap PBRs and act a fool at a clown bar in ATL.

I've learned that it sucks to stay in the car puking while your friends enjoy breakfast the next day.

I've learned I'm not a very successful drinker. But hell, I probably knew that already.

[jericho the drifter]

I learned to not make a wrong turn coming out of the guys bathroom while drunk in the Underground area. You'll wind up in the ladies bathroom mumbling "Oh shit" while females laugh at you.

Dude!  I did that once (and only once).

Worse yet, I almost slipped and fell in the PBR/piss-sludge on the floor of the men's room last year.  I would NOT have been happy about that, especially in whatever fancy Western shirt I was a-wearin.

Now which way to the LADIES bathroom? giggitty giggitty.... OW!

I've learned that Yelling during sets makes me sound like Froggy

That the coolest people come to HRW!

That you can throw a really big party every year, and people still come!

what i've learned from heavy rebel...ammendment to ms. divine (and sadly i cannot make it this year...made the mistake of hiring a fellow hrw who is playing...damn you flathead damn you to hell)

I don't think I like this, missy. Who else will I frantically search through Winghead wifebeaters with? Sadly, we won't be making the ATL trip after HRW, so there won't be any hilariously funny drunken evenings at clown bars either! DAMMIT!!!!!

I learned that hilariously funny drunken evenings at clown bars can turn into 10-hour marathon Dvine pukefests in the van on the way home...... Even so, sorry to miss ATL this year...

DAMMIT...no mushroom jerky for me...no new wifebeater and pictures of me and ms. d that i never get a copy of (ahem)...and no time spent with my two favorite midwesterners!!  sigh....btw...sorry i got your wife so drunk she puked all the way home steve...but it sure was fun!

[Dvine Misfortune]

No apologies necessary, I had a blast that night. I'll see if Stevo can dig up those pics and email them to you or something. We both agreed you'll be greatly missed this year, you're 1 of our all-time favorite losers!

[ScreaminSteven]

What we both agreed on actually, (and this doesn't happen that often), is that you'd be one of our top picks to keep locked in a cage. In our basement. For our amusement. And your amusement,too...

But no mo pukin'!

you'll be missed.

[Dvine Misfortune]

I don't remember having a conversation about locking you in our basement.....that's my story if the cops ask.

[Dvine Misfortune]

Something else I learned at HRW, if you stand too close to the stage while DQ is throwing out free plastic mugs, expect to get hit in the head. Not to worry, it don't hurt much.

What I've learned from HRW -

1. It's the best weekend of my year, with the best people I have ever met, in one place...doesn't get better than that!

2. Yes, Sal, Dave Quick's hair has superhuman powers and is always perfect [and he does one hell of a job making sure everything runs smoothly for the weekend!]

3. I am glad I am honest, cause working the booth with Deno, I have found that people will [in a drunken PBR stupor] hand me $20.00 for a $5.00 item and then just start walking off - so I have to chase them down to give them their change.

4.  Drunken people cannot count [see above]

5.  Deno can stay up later than 9:00 p.m. on this one weekend a year [sorry sweetie... it came out before I could stop typing.]

6. RubyOlive7 and Good Cherry drunk together is an occasion for a good video camera! Love you girls!

7. PamlicoJack's checks don't bounce.

8. Sally is a brave woman, who knowingly gets into a vehicle destined to break down at least once, in the middle of nowhere, but still arrives at HRW with a HUGE smile on her face and hugs for everyone!

9. BJ Winghead has a fixation with meat and chainsaws

10. Psychocharger should not wear meat, if BJ Winghead is playing nearby.... just a random thought

11. The jailhouse is kinda spooky, but very cool

12. Mud wrestling is a contagious disease

13.  Reverend D-Ray can hold 7,298 beers while still wheeling and dealing with Deno at our vendor booth.

14. Tid is a masochist. Every year, he passes out near people with cameras!

15. Ted's Ass will go down in history as the most talked about ass at HRW.  [Who else has a t-shirt and a sticker created to commemorate their ass?]

16. Don't eat Doliinger's produce - well, if you like produce laced with homebrew, go ahead!

17. Guys, and girls will stay up for days to get their cars ready for the HRW car show.

18. Cowgirl boots and a slip are an outfit

19. PBR is:  an aphrodisiac, a sleeping pill, a truth serum, a love buzz, a vomit-inducer, and also, it's cheap!

20. Screamin' Steven's jerky is addictive!

21. Deno would try to sell dirt to a farmer.

22.  People love to write some really weird shit on name tags, but usually it's our screen names, and sometimes we don't even know each other's real names...

23.  HRW has spawned some really cool things, like Secret Satan, this message board staying alive for all these years, etc.


and last but not least [for now]...

24.  Seriously, I have met the nicest people of my life at HRW, and even though I only see most of you once a year, it's always like no time has passed when we all get back together every summer!  This is a cool thing!

OH! Have to add this!!!

25.  Petro was a taxi driver in another life!

I learned that ANY time the Defilers go out on the road, we need to take backups of everything...pants, keys, and especially shoes.  Oh yeah, and that when you walk into a shoe carnival wearing socks, shoe salesmen come RUNNING.

Watch out! I work at Shoe Carnival! hahaha, actually, I avoid anyone who looks like they might be needing shoes.

Thanks Tammy.  This year my run includes a trip up to Akron to pick a couple of losers up and I am sure of 2 airport runs as of right now.  It's going to be one  hell of a time this year!  Can't wait to see all you losers. 

And this year I am off the whole week before HRW so no more staying up for over 36 hours the first day or feeling tired all weekend.
