Just realized there'd been another update--great story especially about Meg's drum stool (which I'd always vaguely assumed was Jack's idea, thanks for setting the record straight ).

Quite glad I spent my downtime at work this weekend reading through each and every post here.

Re: Tales from the road
I remember someone telling me that tws had a show in San Francisco it was also megs birthday and meg ended up getting drunk and was missing all the beats jack ended up telling her to go back stage to which she stood up and ran off stage crying jack sang some songs by himself and then called her out again and the ended the show after a half an hour. Insiders that worked at the venue said that jack had been yelling at meg and that she had been crying alot. This was around the gbms era.

Still by far my favourite topic on Swirl
I'd like to sleep 100 days, my feeling has gone, flesh cold and numb.

Just read this thread. The coolest thing Ive read on this site.
The only way you'll ever learn a thing
Is to admit that you know absolutely nothing
Oh, nothing

I recently found these 2 clips, one is the radio ad from 2000 in NZ, the other is the promo they did for the evening news

All of your wonderful photos have disappeared from the beginning of the thread! Would it be possible to post them again?
