I mean, what's up with that?

(Appropriate reply would be "Because it's Oklahoma.")

Brand new state!
Brand new state, gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle,
Spinach and termayters!
Flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen'y of air and plen'y of room,
Plen'y of room to swing a rope!
Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope.
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma,
Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma,
Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.

THe conservatory is a cool place, been there a couple times. I talked to a contact in OK and he said the crowd was really shitty last time around, and that Dale tackled (!) some drunk dude and drug him out of the club. Plus the turnout is alwas really small up there, lke 40-50 people MAYBE. Prolly not a great idea profit wise.

I remember driving through Ok, and thinking how flat everything is..meaning that, as I remember, there didn't seem to be any mountains/mountain ranges.

i live in oklahoma. the melvins came though last year and it was the worst crowd iv ever seen at the conservatory.  Dale tackled some drunk ass Indian like 10 minuets into the porn set. it was really sad.  iv never seen that many turds in the conservatory. i know it sold out so they made some money but im sure they don't wanna come back after dealing with that many assholes but big business came back so who knows?

to make a long story short im going up to Lawrence on tuesday.

hopefully. we have the show booked but i have a strong feeling half of our band is pretty much done and if thats the case i might just go make a bunch of noise and piss everyone off. it would be a shame to not take the opportunity to share the stage with all 3 of those bands.

You'd think with them having covered Okie From Muskogee they'd come down and give us simple country folk some love.  I can understand if the problem is selling tickets, I guess I can only hope they tour with a band with a bit bigger following sometime soon (I'd kill to see a Melvins/Clutch show), hopefully just not too big like Tool, though I'd easily pay the $50 for tickets and put up with the sea of morons and squeeze my way to the front for the Melvins set.

By time they come through Oklahoma or I have the means to travel to Dallas, my hair will probably be bigger than Buzz's.
