Oh, you are finally touring? Who won the back stage passes? j/k I'm supposed to meet up with you guys but I'll probably be able to make It at around 2:30. I'm supposed to call tomorrow to verify you guys whereabouts.

Dave, do you got a spare doughnut wheel (5 bolt pattern)? If so, bring It by (that Is If you've got room) and we'll work something out.

Someday, we will make an independent short film about that roadtrip. Should become an instant classic.

You can either play yourself, or I can pull some strings with Tom Green.
