well the tour doesnt actually start today, but I'm leaving for the airport in about 3 hours so this will be my last post from home. I think the two
things I'm going to miss the most are XnMeX's 'game mechanix' podcast!! I'll have 3 weeks to listen to by the time I get back and HOWARD STERN! I'm
already having withdrawls!!
I know that Panz will be at a few of the shows so he can probably post some pictures and give some updates. I'll try to post when I can or send stuff
to BD so he can post it.
Thats about it for now... Behave while I'm gone
and everyone have a great Thanksgiving!!XHonusWagnerX - 11-26-2008 at 09:32 AM

You'll miss me! or I'll just miss you, either way, have a freakin blast.XHonusWagnerX - 11-27-2008 at 02:42 PM
just ate chicken... thats what we eat everynight on tour. were at the first club and they play in about 3 hours. not much else to report really.
hope everyones having a good thanksgiving.tireironsaint - 11-28-2008 at 09:25 AM
Chicken??? That's not red meat! I thought those boys were from BOSTON? XHonusWagnerX - 11-29-2008 at 12:49 PM
were at show number 3, second day in italy. last night was a really good show. today will be a long one because its the 3 touring bands plus 3
openers. hopefully they dont suck!
still nothing big to report.
merch is nice, we got...
molotov shirt (same as the haverhill one)
varsity shirt (with # 85 on the back)
classic mask shirt
army shirt (just has the mask-bones and says slapshot)
a track jacket with embroidered mask-bones
molotov zip up hoodie in black and maroon
new girly shirt
2 different silk screened posters that are very limited
some stickers
they are working on maybe adding another design if they can get it done and sent to the printers by tomorrow.
thats about it... ill post again when i can.
ps. its always chicken... every night! basicly because its hard to fuck up roasted chicken and they ask for that because if they request a hot meal
they get some sort of stew thats potentially gross!tireironsaint - 11-29-2008 at 11:17 PM
The merch sounds awesome, especially that track jacket. hint hintXHonusWagnerX - 12-1-2008 at 10:10 AM
Got wifi again so here's a quick update.
Last night was a rough show. Not many people on a cold rainy Sunday night in italy. There was an opening band called Anger (I think) and one of them
was shitfaced & annoying everyone. The after the show was over the rest of his band was gone already & he was bugging everyone. The minute everyone
was occupied he took off with one of the Energy guys guitar. A $1200 Les Paul that is most likely gone for good.
If I can get some pictures while I have wifi I'll email them to someone to post on the board.XHonusWagnerX - 12-1-2008 at 07:25 PM
Good show tonight. I think it was one of the best slapshot sets I've ever seen.
Almost time to hit the bus, rest, read, sleep and hopefully wake up in the next town.XHonusWagnerX - 12-2-2008 at 12:36 PM
I emailed BD a bunch of pictures so hopefully he can post them.
The band actually wrote a new song at soundcheck today.
Nothing else to report now.BDx13 - 12-3-2008 at 05:25 PM
Furly - 12-3-2008 at 11:00 PM
Great pictures of the loo.tireironsaint - 12-5-2008 at 12:14 AM
Yep, definitely want that jacket...XHonusWagnerX - 12-5-2008 at 01:03 PM
were at SO36 in Berlin tonight. We got in early Enough to walk around a bit. Saw the Berlin wall & ate at a place called Burgermeister that had
awesome hamburgers. Now were sitting around waiting.
I'll see Panz on Sunday.
Not much else to report. I'll send BD more pics if I get any good ones.XHonusWagnerX - 12-6-2008 at 01:57 PM
Holland today and I should see Roland tomorrow which means he can finally get his LAST RIGHTS shirt!
The load in food was fucked up today and Choke was not happy, but we have Chocomel & Kinder Eggs at least.
The show ends at 11:00 tonight and we dont leave on the bus until 9:00am tomorrow so that might suck!
Thats all for now!panzerkreuzer - 12-6-2008 at 02:12 PM
honus, i´m excited to see you tomorrow. the show will be a blast.
post some pics of all for nothing, all the guys on board here shall fall in in love with the singer
support all for nothing!!XHonusWagnerX - 12-7-2008 at 11:30 AM
All For Nothing has been doing very well & they are awesome people!
Last nights show was weird. It was an odd crowd with some shitheads in it. Slapshot played well & they played a brand new song that they wrote the
other day. Roland will hear it tonight most likely.
I walked around town today & saw a bunch of stuff. I bought a copy of David Lee Roth "eat em and smile" where he sings in spanish! Sweet!!panzerkreuzer - 12-7-2008 at 11:47 AM
in 1,5 hours i´ll be on the road. see you honus.BDx13 - 12-8-2008 at 11:28 AM
XHonusWagnerX - 12-8-2008 at 04:41 PM
Were back in Germany today and it's damn cold! Were getting a different bus tomorrow & our third bus driver of the tour. New bus because the key pad
to open the door is broken and it doesn lt have enough bunks which we've been dealing with for a week & a half. Not sure why all the driver changes.
The club tonight is okay I guess. I'm not really liking it, but not for any good reason.
I saw Panz yesterday & will see him again tomorrow too.
Not much else to say. Maybe more pictures later.random - 12-9-2008 at 08:14 PM
I didn't notice all the updates to the thread until now. Sounds like you're having a good time, despite the problems. One question though... what
the fuck are

chocomel is a cacao drink made in holland. very sweet and tasty. choke loves it and has even written a (great) song with this title.
kindereggs is chocolate in form of an egg with a special surprise in it´s middle, wether a collectable toy or something to build.
their real name in germany is "überraschungs ei" what means surprise egg. kinder is only the name of the producer. XHonusWagnerX - 12-10-2008 at 12:43 PM
I had a Kinder Egg last night & a Chocomel this morning!
I got a smurf toy in the egg.
Were in Bremen today. The club seems okay. Sound check went okay & slapshot actually did one. I think they will had "how much can I take" to the
Set tonight.
Our new driver is a nut. Last night he hit a buliding trying to back out. His name a Fred & he keeps talking about how he has a "darkside". He's just
crazy!
Roland, were you at the show last night?panzerkreuzer - 12-11-2008 at 08:21 AM
so, good morning folks. back from my second appearance on the tour. my first show on sunday was cool, choke had a good day and made one joke after the
other. they played chunks again and a new song called chocomal. was short, fast and had a good chorus. hope they play it again when back in holland.
yesterday bremen. it was my first time in this city, but the club is nice. normally i wouldn´t drive 180 miles for a show, but hey, it´s slapshot. all
bands were really good, but slapshot were so loud that my ears are ringing today. no chunks yesterday, i was disappointed and i wish they would play
what at´s stake. maybe next time. the crowd was quite lame, but resonance had shaved for battle. as always, all the old german skins wait for this
song...
energy fit in this tour well. they sound like a cross between afi and 7 seconds and i thought they would be ignored by a slapshot crowd, but they´re
liked quite much.
next up for me is the persistance show on saturday. hope to meet honus there again. he´s one of the nicest guys i ever me!
@ steve: the last rights shirts are awesome.XHonusWagnerX - 12-12-2008 at 07:34 PM
The show tonight was in Chemnitz & it kicked ass. Lots of stage dives, sing alongs & tons of fun.
They played the usual set + Whats At Stake? and Bigmouth Strikes Again (smiths cover)XHonusWagnerX - 12-14-2008 at 08:06 AM
Last day!! Were in holland for the last show. Do to lots of planning & a little scheme were in 2 vans now rather than the bus, but it's fine either
way. Just need to get through today show (which starts at 3 or 4 I think) and the get to the airport and take over.
It's a lot of fun but it will be nice to get home too.chucks - 12-15-2008 at 02:37 PM
got to be there.XHonusWagnerX - 12-15-2008 at 05:06 PM
Back in Boston!
Landed about an hour ago, went through passport check, got the luggage, through customs & said goodbye to everyone.
Now I'm on a bus from the airport to Braintree (about 30-40 minutes) where my dad will pick me up and then it's HOME!
It was a rough tour. For the last week Choke & Mark were pretty sick and got gradually worse until today when they were both at their worst. None of
the shows were canceled, cut short or even really suffered (in my opinion) but if the tour did end yesterday I'm not sure what would have happened.
I met some great people like the guys in All For Nothing & Energy. If you like newer slightly metalic hardcore with female vocals (think a less metal
Walls of Jericho) than check out All For Nothing. If you like Ignite, AFI & The Misfits than check out Energy.
Also got to see Roland from the Thorp Board again, but forgot to get a picture with him. I met up with someone I know from Myspace which was cool too.
Other hilights:
Watching Slapshot write a song.
Seeing them play the new song.
Seeing them play Chunks at about 1/2 the shows.
Seeing them play Bigmouth Strikes Again 2 times.
New merch.
Seeing H2O & Sick Of It All at the Percistace Tour.
Watching "Dirty Sanchez" DVDs on the bus.
Drinking Chocomel.
The guy in the Slapshot "friends stand united" hoodie & polo shirt he made.
I'm sure there's more but the bus is almost to Braintree so I'll wrap it up. Maybe XoversuX can add his 2 cents.
It was a great time as always & I'm glad that I'm allowed to go. All that being said, it will be nice to be home! But not nice to be back to work!DAK - 12-16-2008 at 12:09 AM
