bacon warning..

so our friend, Allyson, emailed me today to warn Carlos!

apparently carlos may die if he accepts the bacon challenge part duex.

her message was as follows:

Google the following....sodium toxicity, hypernatremia, before the challenge. The last video you shot shows symptoms, as in lethargy.

When the sodium concentration in the blood is extremely high, it affects the brain cells. As this occurs, the patient experiences muscle twitching, and begins to feel tired and confused. Eventually, severe hypernatremia can lead to coma and death, especially in young children and the elderly.

now..

according to the net..

30 slices of bacon (approx. 2 lbs) has:



















your only suppose to have 2400 mg of sodium a day..

you do the math....

should he try 50 slices?!?!

Tennessee, TENNESSEE, Tennessee!

Hello all..

So we are amidst our southern tour.. so far its been great! we left tuesday night, headed down to Roanoke, VA to stay the night.. the weather was terrible on the way down.. raining buckets! we finally arrived at the quality inn hunter and i called dibbs on beds.. los and patrick decided to hit up the Waffle house at 4am... they came back full o' bacon. los slept in the car, patrick on a towel (suckers!)

11am Wednesday! Waffle house, round 2.. All-Star Breakfast all the way around. during the middle of breakfast Los professed his love for waffle house bacon and said "i could probably eat 50 of these" LOS... didnt you learn from last time?!?! stay tuned for The bacon challenge Round II..

We arrived in Knoxville, TN around 5pm to play the preservation pub. The club was really cool.. to be honest.. i wasnt expecting much from Tennessee. We played with the boys of summer from ashville. They were awesome! (and really cool) We didnt eat anything all day and decided to go for the liquid-lunch and dinner

We went on stage around 11pm. played a set Chock Full o' New tunes..

set list:
shorty reprise (new)
brief physics
fits and stops and starts(new)
7/8 (new)
a/non-a
gray sparkle(new)
we can build you(new and improved)
rhythms of waking and sleeping(new)
insect politics

after the set we met a TON of cool people.. Alexia, Josh, Michael just to name a few..
we got to know our new friends a little bit more.
Alexia and Josh offered their house to us so that we didnt have to drive to ashville post-show. they were uber hosts and will forever be friends of the flur

Michael Dennis.. where do i start.. he missed our set but was super cool and we got talking about music and all the good things in life (gear) He's a jazz whistler, with a 4 octave range! he convinced us to play another set and we were super stoked to invite him to share the stage w/ us for our second set. kaoss pads and whisters go hand and hand...

our second set.. we went on about 1:30am
(after not eating since 11am and drinking since 5pm)

well we tried to eat the bars version of "food" which was super hard "soft pretzels" and nachos that made movie theater nachos look like they came from the ritz-carlton..

cancelled
first to the moon
big promises

we closed the bar down and then headed over to josh and alexias place.. when we arrived there was pizza and chocolate covered dates waiting ! (which were like HUGE rasinettes) Josh has a super cool cat, is a dj, makes art and homemade digeredoos. Alexia is a cellist and had to get up at 6 to go work! what a trooper. With a nice nights sleep we headed onward to Ashville, NC! We had a blast in Knoxville and will be back soon! we promise. word is they have happy hour in the sun sphere!

along the way we had a run-in with the law.. carlos got a speeding ticket.. but luckily the cop was sorta cool..
we were all Starving!!! and where did we stop.. yes, Waffle House... (round III) Our waitress kept playing songs on the juke box.. classics.... Sweet child o mine, barracuda, and many more....

we got to Ashville and are now at Hunters moms place showering up, eating, and getting ready for our show tonight w/ Kovaks and the polar bear at The Emerald Lounge!

sorry for the random, half written sentences.. but my head hurts and I need some more sleep.

So come on out and show some love for Bellflur because Bellflur loves you, not really Bellflur loves Bacon more than you. Sorry, It's not you really! it's Bellflur, we can still be friends right?

cute cat right?

no, everyone be on guard around tom's cat yoshimi. she is vicious. she will hurt you. she will hurt your children if you have any.

she holds no regard for peoples feelings either physical or emotional. she sits like a little pudgeball looking all cute and will talk to you and want you to play with her.

then you do, and she unleashes hell on you like the spartans did in that 300 movie.

the picture above shows her reaching out being cute as can be. today was alot like this with me and yoshimi hanging out on the couch with patrick waiting for practice to begin until yoshimi's unquenchable bloodlust kicked in and she tore my lip wide open spilling blood all over toms carpet. as i ran to the bathroom to repair my damaged visage i looked in the reflection of the bathroom mirror and through the arterial spurts i saw the little devil rolling in my blood screaming that she wants all her kitten hair to be soaked in the blood of those she vanquished.

Oh HAI!!! can i has ur BLOOOOOODZZZZ?

Do not trust this cat

winter hideaway-ing??

hello

whats this picture you might be asking yourself

well, i will tell you

it is a track listing of possible songs for our long awaited-by ourselves more than anyone else-new album. we are still working on a title for it, although we have some possible ones we are tinkering and tankering with.

i think eamonn more than anyone else will be pleased as punch when this thing is over with and he has time to spend the millions he has been making off of a band who make their modest living as the people being dunked in the dunk tank at the moco fair.

it's getting cold

i just walked for a half hour with my puppy Floyd listening to Beck's album, the information and came to the realization that it is cold.

add to that the discovery that my argentine bones hold no favor for sort of weather. now you may argue that argentina has its share of cold weather and that it is indeed a temperate climate however i put to you this argument - i am argentine and i dont agree with cold weather. and i just asked my father to corroborate this story and.... he didnt. he claims to "like" cold weather although he admits he complains about it.

no, the picture above represents the argentina i grew up in. beaches. sun. warmth.

more news to follow.
