Hey everyone,
Plenty going on and plenty to report. But I'll just skip all that for now and talk about Joe "Blower" Garvey of Hinder. After watching an exciting Cavs vs Bucks game Bill, Ben and I headed to Denny's for some awful food. We were pretty surprised that the "Rockstar" menu doesn't have a dish for the rock band Hinder. I've blogged about them here and there, so you know I'd support these rockers having a dish. No dish for Hinder... but Jewel? Really? Jewel does her thing, sure, but does she rock? Plus I got her quesadilla and it sucked.
The good news is Bill found some helpful articles about Hinder on his iPhone during dinner. My favorite is definitely this question on WikiAnswers about whether "Blower" has a steady girlfriend. I can't believe this was on WikiAnswers and not the trashier Yahoo equivalent.
I apologize for the GRAPHIC content that follows: but come on, we're talking about HINDER!

Does Joe Garvey Blower of Hinder have a girlfriend?

i know the band and see them when they come to my area. i am seeing them at the croc rock in allentown on the 15th of this month, so i will ask, but last time i saw him he did not. he just likes to hook up with all of us dedicated fans. [: (as do the others, of course, but some have fluctuating girlfriends.)
just a peice of advice: joe is into cougars, so unless you're at least in your mid thirties or extremely hot or KNOW him personally, i'm not sure he'll hook up with you.
thanks. [:
SO ABOUT JOE "BLOWER." HE WILL HAVE SEX WITH YOU IF YOU HAVE A VAGINA. I HAVE SEEN HIM GO BACK WITH GIRLS THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY GOT THEIR FACES SMASHED INTO THE GROUND. I HOOKED UP WITH HIM EVERYTIME I SAW HIM AFTER A SHOW. THE LAST TIME I DID WAS A DRUNKEN MISTAKE. AS YOU KNOW THE BAND PARTIES VERY HARD AFTER SHOWS AND I CONSUMED QUITE A BIT OF ALCOHOL THE LAST TIME I HOOKED UP WITH HIM. THERE WAS LITERALLY A LINE OUSIDE OF HIS BUNK WITH CHICKS WAITING TO HOOK UP WITH HIM, OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUYS FOR THAT FACT INCLUDING THE TECHS.
AND YES HE DOES HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. AS FOR THE OTHER GUYS, AUSTIN IS MARRIED, MARK HAS A GF AND MIKE IS SINGLE. YET THEY ARE ALL MANWHORES. SO IF YOU DECIDE TO HOOK UP, WEAR A CONDOM.
Just wonderful.
Speaking of bands that deserve a Denny's Rockstar menu dish. A huge LIVEJOURNAL shoutout to Vampire Weekend for hooking Justin and I up for their show in Columbus. Like a lot of white people in Northeast Ohio, we were disappointed the show sold out before we got tickets. Luckily, they stayed at Sean Mick's hotel and lead singer/Manhattan prince Ezra Koenig was very eager to hook up his two cool buddies from Cleveland with tickets. We weren't sure if we were driving into an epic prank, but we decided to get in the Rav 4 and start the long drive to Columbus. If nothing else, it'd be a funny story. We got in. The show was great. Definitely a fan 4 lyf. In fact, Vampire Weekend don't deserve a shitty Denny's Rockstar signature dish...they deserve something classy like a signature Bolthouse Farms natural juice. I guess I should not have been so cynical about this situation, but it seemed far-fetched that they'd even remember to put us on the list. Why was Ezra Koenig so willing to help out the friends of the dude at his hotel you ask? Because Sean found him a quiet place to read, of course. That dude may have graduated from an Ivy League school, but he wouldn't last ONE NIGHT in HINDER!!!
In closing, I need to get serious about developing a good iPhone app. Some of my ideas include:
"iPage"- which is a pager application (it just pages you)
"iStrong"- this is an app that is just a yellow Lance Armstrong ban across the screen. For when you forget the bracelet.
"the Hinder App" -Clearly the best app. It can be used as a ringtone or just a button you push for the phone to play "hey, it's me: Blower from Hinder...pick up the phone!" Great for in public. You can impress everyone around you and make them think Blower is calling you.
