Hey Guys,
Guys! What do I do? My best friend George bought me Billy Joel tickets instead of Edwin & The Pressure tickets for my birthday! I asked for Edwin & The Pressure tickets!!! He knows I hate Billy Joel! This is my birthday? More Like MY BARFDAY!
Also, share with us your best story. Anything. Me and my boyfriends laugh all night long at your site, as we sip McCain and DelMonte fruit boxes, and play Balderdash!

P.S. You guys, and Edwin & The Pressure are my favorite bands!

Hey, you don't like the Piano Man? Uptown Girl? All the other Billy Joel songs? But you do like Edwin?
I've sent a letter to each of these artists in an attempt to get them to play together, on the same bill. That way both you and your friend can go to the same show and each of you can enjoy something. If this show does happen, and we're really lucky, maybe Billy Joel will offer to drive Edwin to the show, and he'll be drunk again and crash the car, killing two birds with one stone in a horrible firey crash. A man can dream. As for stories, I'm going to have to agree with Steve. Like the time we went to the buffet and ate some food! Awesome times!!!!!!! |

Hey man, thanks for the question. Does George really know that you hate Billy Joel? Do you think he bought you Billy Joel tickets knowing that you hate him? Sounds like George loves Billy Joel and he's trying to turn you onto the music he likes...some friend he is - you need to resist this at all costs! Don't confront him though - you need to send him the message in a creative way ...try burning effigies of Billy Joel on his front lawn while throwing rocks with your name written on them through his windows. That'll give him the hint.
The best story I have is the story of my awesome life, surrounded by awesome friends and living in these awesome times! I feel like a lazer! |

Now neither one of these guys really gets me going so I thought that I would do some research. Here is some of the lyrics from both guys:
"peace love hang 10 california dreaming of a perfect wave yeh yeh yeh floatin downstream unconscious waiting for a girl on a train" - Edwin "I'm gonna try for an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am " - Billy Joel I was hoping that this would help my decision as well but now I think the best decision would be to scalp the tickets. |

Break up with your friend! Edwin is the worst. I agree with Trevor. I hope him and Joel go on a friends-forever hayride, and the horses trample them to death! If we're really lucky, maybe Not By Choice, and Shawn Desman will also be on that hayride. That would be wickawesome!
Best story? WOW! I have a lot. As far as I'm concerned, seeing a man trying to service a hot-full, airplane lavarotary from the outside of the aircraft, then getting dumped with upwards of 600 litres of defecation/urination/salutation/and celebration is my best one! That was a riot! Also, my best story is the story of my friends! My miracles! My miracle friends! All of my friends are fine guys! I call them the miracles, because in a lot of ways, I think of them as little miracles that GOD sent to me. I once saw my friends being my friends, and I thought that that was a miracle. I stood on a hill at my school, and they were playing german ball. I looked down from the hill, and they all stopped, and gave me the thumbs up! That was a miracle! -chris |
