Message from Stephen Howard and Erik Moore, received on 11/14/08 at 4:21 AM, following their performance as part of Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Symphony in St. Louis, MO:

Stephen: Barrett, you pussy. I can't believe you passed out...pussy. It's 4:20, that's why I called you. We're smoking pot...NOT! We're driving back to Columbia, and it's raining, and we're not going to get back to Columbia till 5, but when we do get back, I'm gonna drink beer until I have to work at 9. It's that kinda night. And uh...you should've...uh...seen our 100 guitar symphony. It was wicked. Or even better, you should've been in it...um...cause it's not that hard to read sheet music if you try. You just gotta try and not be a pussy like all of our other St. Louis friends. Um...and uh...there was totally room to freak out at the end. Like, Glenn Branca found whatever sort of musical terms you have to put it into to get everyone to freak out, and uh...so we did, and I knocked all my sheet music on the floor and used the music stand as a slide and banged my guitar into it. And Erik dropped his pic, so he played guitar with his bare hand...with his bear claw...hand. Um...(sighs)...pussy! Here's Erik.

Erik: Hey, dude. So, uh, it was a hundred guitar symphony, there were only 6 girls, everyone else was dudes...so it was a total sausage fest....and yeah...so you would've loved it. A lot of the people were pretty lame. And a lot of them had totally...totally hideous, ridiculous guitars. Some of them were like 50, and uh...one of the guys wore like a fucking civil war reenactor's hat the entire time, even when we played the show. And um...yeah...so pretty much all we've been doing the last three days is playing experimental guitar. And uh...we ate Lebanese food, so I have a pretty good idea of what Luke's gonna have for Thanksgiving dinner. And it's 4:20. And it's kinda sad that you didn't pick up the phone. I guess we'll talk to you later. Bye.
