You talking about the CC book? I still don’t have it, so it’ll be a while before I can comment. I did receive a book on NYE from a female friend of mine, whose husband is a cousin of Martin Atkins. The book is called Tour:Smart And Break The Band, and is close to 600 pages of Atkins (w/contributors) talking about the business of touring, making CDs, merch, playing clubs, the financial side, etc. I haven’t really got into reading it yet, but did see a ‘Ministry Tour Diary’ in the TOC. I’ve just been too busy to start reading any of it. I flipped through the pages, just glazing over stuff. Saw some pictures from Pigace, KJ, PIL, etc. If I read anything that I think will interest the forum, I’ll post about it.
I did check the forum this morning to see no one was posting this weekend. I had some friends over today to watch the NFL playoff games. Very much enjoyed watching the Dallas Cowboys getting bitch-slapped on their home field. Knocked down some pizza, wings, and several IPAs in the process. Now I’m chilling out, still trying to finish a beer, listening to some Shiloh…fuck, I feel like I’m writing a blog.
Probably behind the times, but I learned what ‘sharking’ was today. Had never really heard about it, until my friend mentioned it. We found a couple of sites with some sharking videos. Juvenile stuff, but amusing, and, hey, lots of boobs.

Not done yet. They just finished the European Beers, Steers + Queers tour.
So far it comes off as very funny and very informative. I’m not sure it will have much of a wide readership outside of folks who are very interested in the old Waxtrax! scene, though. I also wish Chris had employed an editor - I suspect he dictated the whole thing and then had it transcribed verbatim. Lots of the turns of phrase and grammar work only when spoken aloud.
Definitely should be required reading for everyone who posts here regularly.

i actually heard about this book. i prob would have read it if it came out 12 years ago, but i’m more just curious what he has to say at this point. at the same time, he has always rubbed me the wrong way which makes me not so interested.

I didn’t know it had a name but I’ve seen one montage of stuff like that! CRAZY!!!
it was donwloaded from a site called FUKT (I think) and sent to me in an email. I couldn’t beleive it. I was emabarresed and felt sorry for the women and yet strangely pissed off that the camera man didn’t get better closeups. Oh the horror.

Just past the BSQ euro tour as well. Unlike most books, i’ve actually been breezing through this one. When I finish, we’ll definately discuss. But from what i’ve read so far…it was well worth the wait, imo.
