Current mood:A bit concerned for our friends
Category: Travel and Places
Greetings Programs:

This is just a small note to clear up any and all confusion about the status of the Summer Of Scum tour with Shai Hulud / Full Blown Chaos, Elysia, Woe Of Tyrants, and A Girl A Gun A Ghost. The tour has unfortunately been canceled due to circumstances well beyond anyone's control. Both Full Blown Chaos and Elysia were dealt severe blows forcing the bands to drop off the tour to attend to personal and family matters, thus bringing the tour to an early end. As sad as we were to return home early, we were much more sorry to see our good friends suffer through their respective troubles. We wish only the best for our friends, and hope they will be up, running, and touring again soon. We're certain they will be.

Thanks to all of you who came to one of the few shows we did play on this run. All the bands appreciated your warmth, energy, and attendance. Shai Hulud will be back on the road sometime this year, hopefully making up the shows that we weren't able to play this summer. We'll be in touch, hell, we're just a My Space message away. Thanks Tom!

We were genuinely looking forward to rocking with anyone and everyone this month. We'll see everyone soon, however. We know, we know, not unless you see us first. Personally, I never understood that joke.

End of line:

Matt Fox / Huludicidal

P.S. Out of sheer curiosity I just Googled "not if i see you first" to see what the hell that joke is supposed to mean and found this:

" I had never really thought twice about this phrase until one day at work some of my co-workers were discussing it. I guess I always thought of it as fairly innocuous. You know, like you'd say it to a friend or loved one, acknowleding that you might see them before they see you. Or else it's just something stupid you say.

Well, my boss said the way he always thought of it was that when someone says "See you" and you say "Not if I see you first," you're really saying that if you see them first, then they won't see you at all, because if you see them first you're going to run and hide or something so you don't have to see them. He said it's really an insult or a dig. It's snide, not sweet."

NOW I GET IT!

I always thought it meant "If I see you, I'll kill you" type of thing. Somewhat like if I see you before you see me, the gun/knife will already have done it's job. I'm not sure why I thought that.


At any rate, sucks for the tour. Maybe you guys can hook up an American tour with Comeback kid? I'd probably ruin many a pair of pants if you did that.

I know you cats were planning on playing the Knitting Factory in LA, but you should consider the Key Club. Then I could not only see you live, but do the sound as well.

Sorry to hear about this! Can kind of relate.. though I've only been on tour once, but I would give anything to go back out! So I can imagine how you feel. And genuine as always, wishing the best for your friends.
This is why I hope soo much respect for you and the band as a whole! It's also a shame that the show got canceled in Poughkeepsie a little ways back! I was more than excited for that!

But sometimes good things come from tragedies! So I can bring twice the energy when I finally get to see you guys again! It's been far too long my friend! See you soon!

Take care,
Mikey

I understand that things come up. We were looking forward to seeing you play Denver on July 27th, but we'll catch up with you next time through. I hope that things are coming together and that everything works out well.


See you soon!

I never knew there was even any confusion about this joke? Yeah, I always understood it as meaning that if you see them first, you're going to avoid any contact.


Maybe since you have all this time on your hands because of the tour being cancelled... you could come back to Australia? Any hope?

I think that from now on in you should dig to the origins of popular phrases in each and every single blog. Sort of a public service to inform and educate.

See, I took it to mean that if you saw someone first, after they already said they'd see you, YOU were actually the one seeing THEM first. Hence making their previous comment about seeing you a lie...a sham if you will. It's a sham because you saw them first, invalidating their claim that they would see you first.


You beat them to the punch, in a way.


I wish someone would punch ME for posting this.

it was a good show, and a shame that the tour couldn't continue, for sure. i'm crossing my fingers so that you consider chicago-land for the next one, you'll always be welcome by a bunch of us, despite some people's indiference.
and about the phrase, did you really get it or are you more confused now? haha
