nauseating stage antics

i get a lot of emails from out of town bands trying to book shows and want to play FR. which shows they clearly have no idea what FR is, being that they want to play in early march, and they're from philadelphia.
which is two strikes right there. FR doesn't even start 'til mid june, and it's DC only.

but what really killed it is the phrase "theatrical stage antics".
now i won't even help find you a show.
save your guitar heroics for your bedroom with the door shut and you're playing to yourself in the mirror your mom mounted on the back of the door when that use to be her room. you know, before the addition. and save your wacky, zaney, hot-dog throwing antics for when you're playing for your friends in your back yard. i don't want to see that shit either.

christ.

why can't you just fucking play your music well and make me like you that way, huh?
if your band has "theatrical stage antics" than your band's name best be Gwar.

christ, i have a headache that's making me nauseous.
