Crozet, VA July 8-9

[BeaterToyota]

I'm going to Crozet sometime during the weekend of July 8-9, probably just on Saturday the 8th.

Who else is going? The 9th is my 32nd birthday, so everyone should go wheeling to celebrate.

You are too old to wheel now. What is with your new avatar?

You should talk!
Jason went wheeling for my birthday, so I owe him one. For once, I'm actually not on call that weekend. Call me a strong maybe. I can't think of anything that would hold me back, but I'd hate to say for sure I'm going then not go. I don't think I'll be on the same trails as you though...
Len, Tom, Eric, Tina... How about another run?
Tom, maybe we could suggest this to the DSO folks.

Yea, right, thats like betting the ink cartidge fairy will show up. I got OOT company coming that weekend anyway. Im out. It's a bummer though. Sure beats a 6 hour drive and I've never been to Crozet. I'd be up for it for sure

[larc68]

Im up for goin since Ive never been there. I can go on the 8th but not the 9th.

[BeaterToyota]

Word. So it sounds like I won't be the only Toyota there in a sea of Heeps!
I'm gonna either go after work Friday night, or just drive down Saturday morning. I won't be wheeling on Sunday, but I might camp Saturday night anyway.

I knew Terry would get it. Click here (http://www.alternativetentacles.com/bandinfo.php?band=lard) and listen to some MP3s. I'm sure you'll love it. :lol:




"You wouldn't think JELLO BIAFRA would attempt something as anathema to him as a turgid, seven-minute 70s rock anthem. But the hilarious title-track here shows the ex-DEAD KENNEDYS leader will go just about anywhere to make an acrid comment. No kidding, you could slip this baby on any urban classic rock station, in between the obnoxious, puerile shock-jock rants, and the mindless headbangers would eat up its Stones/Aerosmith/Zep/AC/DC cock-rock riff like mice who don't notice the trap around the cheese until the steel-trap surprise lyrics slam into them! (And even hard rock fans who never notice ridiculously awful metal lyrics won't be able to escape this hysterical chorus refrain, "Well c'mon! C'mon! 70s rock must die!" Spinal Tap would be hard-pressed to lampoon the genre better; Biafra even dons a plausible Axl Rose voice for the occasion.

In fact, this send-up is so good, a thousand 80s hair bands in head bands, leopard-skin pants, and muscle t-shirts (and their spandex girlfriends) spring to mind like an outbreak of a styling mousse plague. But whereas Spinal Tap was just for cackles, Biafra's loathing is obvious. He decries the ceaseless perpetuation of the vapid rock charicature that punk bands like Dead Kennedys meant to crush, while lamenting that the opposite has since occurred: Nowadays, "Alternative" bands just warm over the same wanky riffs with a smart-ass'itude, and suddenly the genre goes from cartoon to credible? New shiny bottle, same fetid product. In any case, this is drop-dead funny.

As for the rest, "Volcanus 2000 (We Wipe the World)" returns Lard to its original 1988 industrial footing provided by collaborator AL JOURGENSEN of MINISTRY, slinging a similar sneer at all the self-conscious, neo-satanic slummers who want to be the next Nine Inch Nails. The "mountains of trash" in the coda sound too real to anyone who has seen the stink and odious rot of landfill like Staten Island's near New Jersey, or gotten a whiff downstream of a passing garbage barge. But it could just as easily refer to your average record reviewer1s daunting, decrepit new-CD pile. Finally, "Ballad of Marshall Ledbetter" is a fine metallic-industrial stomper. Biafra remains one of the great brains in all of underground music, and it's good to hear him putting his twisted jibes to a beat again. In any form!"- Jack Rabid/The Big Takeover

I'm not sure. Here are some directions (http://forums.xjsrule.com/viewtopic.php?t=119) to the place. It's about 20 minutes from Charlottesville.

I'm guessing you would take I-81 to I-64. I live only a mile from Rt. 29, so I would take Rt. 29 the whole way. We could meet in Warrenton and take 29 from there, but it would probably be out of your way to do that.

[BeaterToyota]

Who else is going? Since he limits the number of rigs, be sure to email Chris and tell him which day you'll be there. ****nchris@xjsrule.com

I still don't know if I'll get there Friday night or Saturday morning, but I am only wheeling on Saturday.

[toyotanuts]

I might show up sat

[BeaterToyota]

Cool.

Have you wheeled it yet with the new axles Jeremy?

[larc68]

since its not all the far, ill prob just drive down sat morning. i dont plan on campin that night.

[toyotanuts]

Yes been to crozet once, paragon twice and raush creek twice. Been doing real good but the front electrac sucks.

[BeaterToyota]

Okay, so it looks like it's just me and Donnie and maybe Jeremy. Anybody else?

If not, I think I might be bailing on this trip in order to go to RC the following weekend. I haven't decided yet. Post up and help me figure this out.

[larc68]

Whats the deal with Ted? Is he not goin either? I say go, my first trip down there, Id hate to be the only Yota..Ill actually go down 29 also since Ill be in Marshall friday night and leavin from there sat morning...

[BeaterToyota]

I think Ted will be riding with me if I go, but he won't be driving either of his rigs.

[toyotanuts]

I'm in, along with another 4-runner,s-10, and a ****. We will be running the blacks is that what ya'll are runnin?

[larc68]

since my trucks not out of the shop and i dont know if it will be by sat., i will have to back out rather than wait till the last minute and decide...but who knows what might happen

[BeaterToyota]

Fawk it. I'm there.

Jeremy, I'll be running blacks with you guys. I don't really know the trails there (I've only been once) but I a ran a few blacks last time with IFS and 32"s. I should be good, except I don't have a front locker yet.

Donnie, that sucks that your rig is in the shop. Maybe next time.

You might have fun with no locker up front but we will see. The good thing is if you can't make it you can usually go around.

I'll get a locker in there soon enough. I'm still running stock birfs, so an open diff is probably better at this point.

See you there.

[BeaterToyota]

Jeremy, I don't know if you'll see this before tomorrow, but I have to bail this weekend. Something is wrong with my steering and I haven't had a chance to get it figured out.

[toyotanuts]

Had a good time, you all missed out.
