i think it is too early to start talking about awards in literature, but i was thinking...hard-cover!!

observations from a reader's standpoint...change the christian girls names or their background. Rory and LoriJo would be better suited for characters that were rebel hippies or members of a cult (that would make for an interesting chapter...invitation to cult gathering...BYOK...Bring Your Own Koolaid) when i think christian names i think of Bethany, Mary, and that such. if you want to make a reader believe they are true, hardcore Bible-Beaters, then they need more appropriate names.

I think your set up in the bar before the guys play is the PERFECT opportunity for the guys to realize that they can make it without Greg. Perhaps close with the boys making comments about how the Forty On Friday fans are going to love bringing the FOF hype to a show!

to clear up the christian girls names SCottie, it's the story about kyle when he said to a girl well. that's a fucked up name so they needed to be a little of the wall.
but as always thanks for the posting and great job adding your puke story to the mix

I agree that you need "fucked up" names. but Rory and Lorijo just sound hickish. might as well stick with the real names.

Don't forget about the hooters part that had kyle(real name) offending the training waitress with some needless comment. Ithink it was "Sorry I'm not certified" or somthing like that. if anyone remembers it verbatum that would be cool.

Also I would like to not over embelish the bitchiness of Jess(real name) because I think that the truth is enough for people to actually dislike her character. And it makes it that much funnier that we don't have to make shit up.

Eddies quote was something to the effect of "i see that your qualified, but frankly, I dont give a shit" is what i recollect.
Also, I would like to see a few other additional quotes.

Seth, describing absinthe:
"It tasted like a mix of ecstasy and tequilla".
Eddie "But you've never had ecstasy"

Gus, in the car, "Man, my legs are blinding. They're like albino catfish".
