Just so nobody has a conniption about it, as Cooley would say, I don't believe he was directing it at this board or any fans other than the ones who steal stuff off of the stage. I posted it here more in hopes that you guys would help him look out for his stuff, not because we thought that you guys ...

Got a message from Cooley this morning that he wanted me to post. God I love that man. Y'all keep an eye out for people who grab stuff off the stage! _________________ OK This is what is on the sheets in front of me when I am doing solo shows. It's NOT a set list! It is nothing more than a tool that...

I just wanna say that the Standard Deluxe is the kind of place any music lover would dream of having. Great music in a lovely outdoor spot with fun people. I had SO much fun last year when we went to see Centro-Matic. I grew up in Waverly, from a wee girl until 10th grade when Mama moved us back to ...

Thanks you guys! It was a good one this year. Sure is nice to check in over here (late, of course) and see that y'all remembered. I hope I see a whole bunch of you over at the Americana Fest for the Cooley show. I gotta get him to re-sign my marriage certificate 'cause he cut his finger and got bloo...

Thank you everybody. I wish I could have invited the whole bunch of you. What a great, great night - I am verclempt!

It's at the merch booth. I tried to catch you but you were gone, and I didn't see you again. I'll have it up there for you tonight.

Fucking hardest job ever.

Hey all! Just wanted to say I'm excited to see everyone again this year and I hope you guys have a safe, fun time in Athens! Please let me know if you are coming to the shows and need some sort of assistance. I'm working on places for those who can't stand and trading tickets for those who need it. ...

If anyone has trouble transferring tickets, hit me up at my jenn@drivebytruckers.com addy and I'll see if I can figure out the dealio.

Also, everybody bring extra money, 'cause the Cooley solo record on vinyl will be sold at the shows!

Just so y'all know, the tickets for Saturday night are almost gone and Friday night tix are getting close to gone, too.

Brad was not the original drummer, Matt Lane was I believe and Adam Howell was the original bass player. Wasn't Chuck Bradburn the bassist for a while, before even Howell I believe? So that's 4 bassists. And both Malone and Howell have done at least some vocal work. So there are your singers.[/quot...

Why don't I get these letters anymore? Did I fall off the list, or are they only posted on FB now? Maybe Jenn will see this and be able to answer. Perhaps I just need to sign up again. Hey guys - long day here; just got home from Christmas vacation, and absolutely thrilled about the New Year and th...

"They call showing up inebriated and wearing a dress unprofessional, too, but it made me the man that I am."
Crowd has no idea how true that statement is.

Oooh, audience earning some of that money!

Seems like Cooley's in too good a mood to give one of his classic, "who's getting paid for this, me or you" rebukes to that mouthy audience...

I gotcha, honey. I'll PM you with details.

I don't know if anyone posted this yet or not, but if you get a chance and have the money to eat at Hugh's restaurant Five & Ten, it's damn good. Here's his short Guide to Athens, and it's a good one. Let it load; it takes a minute - then click on numbers on the toward the bottom to see his reco...

Ok... serious question for you veterens. Is there any seating at all in the 40 Watt? And if so can you see anything from the seats? From what I can tell online it looks like there's a handful of seats in the back but it looks like it would be close to impossible to see from them if it was a packed ...

One day.

Thanks guys. It's been entertaining, though not nearly as entertaining as my previously planned Sunday of laying on the couch, drinking gin and tonic would have been. I have never heard such cursing, and most of it didn't even come from me!

We had a mailing list going back to when I started the first DBT website in the 90's. If you didn't join it on purpose I have no idea how you got on it, because I didn't add anyone who didn't ask to be added... I didn't always control it personally, though, so it could have come from purchasing stuf...

To those of you still getting them: A lot of email servers are slow in delivering emails, especially when there are a lot of them - so once your individual email servers get finished sending the old ones, you should stop receiving the dbtnews emails altogether. The list has been completely deleted s...

Hey guys! Here's the dealio: Our server was recently purchased by a large corporation and they altered several things. One of the things they altered was taking a long-dead email list and making it a FUCKING DISCUSSION LIST. Nobody knew this until one person subscribed, then everyone on our list got...

Somebody help me out with this one. It is being reported in a local paper that the guys are playing an inaugural version of a music festival down here in South GA. This is being reported as absolutely being a go in the paper in Albany, GA which is basically my backyard. Needless to say I'm super pu...

We're in for Thursday night, booked a room at Hotel Indigo before I saw the note about the Nuci's Space deal over at the Spa. Anyone have a line on where the pre-game festivities are going to commence? As a guess, Flicker. If I do any, I'll be pre-gaming at The Roadhouse. Not that anyone gives a sh...

It wasn't you, the website lists IL instead of IN.

Yep R, you didn't mistype it, I didn't catch the mistake in my notification and posted it on the website wrong. I fixed it already.

Not even home 24 hours from an awesome road trip and planning the next one! Hell yea - Richmond here we come. What is the fan presale about? Do we need to join something? No, the fan presale just means that they're sold from DBT's ticketing rather than the club or a ticket vendor. It was confusing,...

Sorry I didn't post dates. I like people to go to the site once in a blue moon.

Hot off the presses!

Yep, it's all Cooley.
