Dom from Dearling Physique was apparently not happy with my mention of him in this journal. He writes:

Dear Josh,

When I'm bored, I'll browse Google to discover what fascinating things other bored people might be saying about me. This evening I came across a tour journal with your bands' name on it. Your motives, while unclear, are disappointing. What nonsensical blogger credentials qualifies you the right to spread information obviously not established as true? The circumstances resulting in your poor decision to publish false things about me can be warmly summarized in a variety of colorful words. However, common sense suggests that I analyze. Answers are not born from assumptions. You don't know me, and I don't know you. The extent of my services offered to Br'er were tastefully met after three months of hard, hard work. In return, I was granted with sickness and hardship leaving me with no choice but to remove myself from the tour at a minute's notice. All individuals involved in this lengthy process, including the boys of Br'er, we're swiftly informed. What is truly unfortunate is how a good deed with the best of intentions can be judged as worthless and re-communicated as deceitful. Intelligence is a gift to be opened before speaking. And though you may lack such things, you may forgive your mis-education having now learned how not to make friends.

Dom




So I thought I'd post my response here to clear this up for anyone reading:


Dom,

hey sorry you didn't like what I wrote on our tour
journal. I certainly didn't mean to offend you. all
I wrote was that Br'er told us you had screwed them
over and that I got the impression you weren't going
to show up. The whole thing was just really
mysterious. Here you'd contacted me a while back to
try to get some shows together, it didn't work and I
never heard from you again. Next thing I know this
band of young guys from Philly are telling me that
they let someone they didn't even know book them a
tour on the opposite side of the country and that they
were highly unsatisfied. They also said they doubted
you'd show up. the venue knew nothing about whether
you were going to show up. I knew nothing about
whether you were going to show up. If you had, we
would've just gone on later. It was nothing against
you... just seemed like a pretty screwy situation that
Br'er was in and that's what I was trying to
communicate.

Ultimately, I could only go with the info I had at the
time. Br'er was obviously pretty green when it comes
to travelling and playing music so I can see how their
impression may have been skewed. Obviously the shows
you booked for them happened. I don't know why they
thought you'd dicked them around. All I knew was
that they predicted you wouldn't show and you didn't.
What else can I gather from that?
