Chris (2/8 2:45pm): Hey, do you know anyone with a fax machine
Jake (2/8 2:47pm): I thought they destroyed all the fax machines after WWII
Chris (2/8 2:55pm): if that’s true that’s unfortunate, if that’s false then i hate you
Jake (2/8 3:01pm): I’m guessing we can’t leave town until we find one
Chris (2/8 3:15pm): I never thought it would come to this, but, yes. We must fax to survive
Jake (2/8 3:20pm): How motivated are Kinko’s employees?
Chris (2/8 3:25pm): I dunno, why do you ask
Jake (2/8/3:30pm): just wonder how hard they’d resist the theft of a fax machine
Chris (2/8 3:33pm): don’t think they ‘d have to. their things look heavy
Jake (2/8 3:45pm): we have a van
Chris (2/8 3:55pm): yeah, but we’d have to drag it out to the street
Jake (2/8 4:01pm): we have the element of surprise
Chris (2/8 4:04pm): pretty sure they’d see us coming
Jake (2/8 4:15pm): we have everything we need
Chris (2/8 4:20pm): except a fax machine. I think i was a little ambitious with our schedule this morning

Chris (2/8 4:55pm): just don’t quote me
Jake (2/8 5:01pm): deal
So we are still in Dallas, a short 21 hours away from our destination. Someone is bringing pizza, folding t-shirts, quietly sulking in the corner wondering what new horrors await in the near future, and here I sit, spinning with the Earth at a 1000mph and feeling dizzy. There have been, and there will always be, various delays to starting our journey. Sleeperstar is prone to timesucks, gravitywells, to which the creatively-minded are often prone. The great thing about having Chris Pearson in your band is his remarkable ability to take on large tasks with effective desperation.
Question: Our van is called “the Washington” (direct article necessary) due to its height and blanche color, and we now have a trailer which needs a name. Please vote in the comments:
A) the Martha
B) Curly Jefferson (AKA “the Jefferson”)
C) Obi Wan Kenobi (AKA “the Kenobi”)
D) Star Destroyer
E) Luke Skywalker (AKA “the Skywalker”)
F) the George
B.
I say “the Kenobi”. it just sounds right..
I vote for the Star Destroyer! Hope you guys have a safe trip and can’t wait to see you next weekend in Columbus, OH! Last show… can’t wait to see you rock out the tour with a BANG!
Good luck on the road guys! I wish I could make it to a show to see y’all but all the shows are too far away
my vote for the name of your trailer goes to c) obi wan kenobi! Ha it has a nice ring to it with the van name: “the washington and the kenobi” sounds official!
I’m perturbed by the blatant lack of Harry Potter names. I vote Norbert!
Star Destroyer!!!
my vote is A) the Martha
purely on the basis that Brandon will have to dress up as a woman named martha if this answer wins (preferably a famous one, like say Martha Stewart)
lets make it happen
-geoffrey
Toss up for the Martha or Curly Jefferson. Keep a theme, makes jokes on the road a little more intersting and blends nicely.
My vote is for “Martha”
The kenobi. Aaaallllll the way.
My vote is for Martha. See you guys in Indy!
B) Curly Jefferson (AKA “the Jefferson”)!!!
For your consideration, I want to vote G) Other.
The Carver.
Sure, there was a guy named George Washington Carver.
But the carver just sounds really cool…..like this trailer might be into knives, or maybe it just likes to stand at the end of the Sunday brunch buffet and offer up slices of roast beef or perhaps it’s carving a path through the open road.
It’s SO open to interpretation.
If not that, than I totally vote for Martha.
Safe journies!
-G
thinking you should call it blizzard…since thats what you are headed north to.
but i say kenobi,sounds cool,and think bjazz would rock that look.
Well, unless the trailer is pulling the van, then naming it “the George” would put it out of sequence. I’d say “, George” or “comma George” would be more suitable.
The Kenobi.
How is this even a question?
Definitely liking the sound of “the Jefferson”. Stay safe guys, here’s hoping you make it to The Note tomorrow night!
B!!!!
C. Definatly C.
Definitely call that bad boy Curly Jefferson. I love it!
I have a new suggestion… how about “SNOWMAGEDON”? Seems appropriate after what you guys went through yesterday in VA so close to WASHINGTON (also the name of your van).
