I'd go see them just for the name.
Then I'd probably get too drunk, forget to watch them play and end up making an ass out of myself in public.
Goooood times.

I demand answers!
Also, am I missing something, or did Justin hit the bong before commenting?

Mike= good boss, responsible, clean arrest record.
Our manager= missing teeth, drunk, and not allowed within 500 yards of elementary schools.
No bong, I just have trouble completing coherent sentences.
Poor kitty.
