Eclectic Approach

We were fortunate enough to share a bill with these guys a few months back. Unfortunately mother nature went ape shit and dumped crazy amounts of snow and we were unable to make it. We're staying hopeful and praying that we will once again have the opportunity to play with one of the greatest bands of our time.

Are you thirstin more?

We here at THIRST-TEA are proud to introduce to you or first "celebrity" spokesman, Mr. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.
"Hi, I'm Thurston Moore and I'm thirsty. Are you thistin too? Are you thirstin more than me? If so, you should drink THIRST-TEA for all your thirstin needs."

Thirst-tea celebrity endorsement blooper!

After the initial launch of THIRST-TEA into the market I realized that sales were a wee bit sluggish. At first I attributed it to the piss poor economy (have you heard about that shit? It's all over the news) but then i realized that you need celebrities to sell pretty much anything in this country. My first choice was ECLECTIC APPROACH but they wouldn't return my calls. After more failed attempts including Linkin Park, N'sync, Hootie And The Blowfish, The Vague Prophets and Juicebox I decided to set my aim lower. Thats when I had the idea to get John Lennon from The Beatles to do it. I figured hey, the guy's got no fucking credibility at all, he'll be begging for a chance to hop on the gravy train. Tragically, my ASSistant BENdover Allen recently informed me that John Lennon died "like four years before you were born or something." Regardless, I decided to take the opportunity to cash in and exploit one of the least significant figures of popular music by naming THIRST-TEA's first flavor after the talentless hack. Thus, THIRST-TEA John Lemon was born!



Are you thirstin?

Recently I was somewhat hungover (ugghh, i'm never drinking again) and was n need of a refreshing beverage to help destroy the hate in my brain (dukka dukka dukka). I went to the store to get a tasty beverage and found I couldn't decide between iced tea and gatorade. What was I to do? On one hand I craved the awesome taste of iced tea but i also yearned for the hangover reducing qualities of gatorade but without the weird taste of warm camel urine. I decided at that time to take action and invent the world's greatest drink. I would combine the awesome taste of iced tea with the awesome power of electrolytes and all other kinds of space age hydrating technology. Something that would like hella quench your thirst and shit and taste like tea. The name, THIRST-TEA!

Ben and Joe's BROmantic getaway part 3

Next stop, the year 3000 B.C.! On our journey back to the states our makeshift raft made entirely out of empty pabst blue ribbon cans held together with vague prophets stickers got sucked into a whirlpool and when we emerged on the other side we had been transported to another time. Imagine doing back in time over five thousand years to the very beginning of the earth. How exciting! Ben and I also got the opportunity to meet our favorite comedian of all time, Martin Lawrence! Martin had some really funny things to say about how dinosaurs don't have butts.

Next stop, France. After all the fun we had at the magic kingdom, we decided to try to soak in a little culture. Paris was truly amazing despite the fact that the people there talk funny and are all faggy and stuff. We decided to pay tribute to one of France's greatest icons Pepe Le Peu by trying repeatably to rape a cat.

Last week my girlfriend Sarah went to Missouri for six days to visit her family. To help fill the hole in my heart left by her absence, I turned to my friend and fellow vague prophets band mate Ben for support and companionship. We had a lot of great times and wacky adventures together that week. I thought it would be nice to share some photos and stories with everyone of what will surely be remembered by me as one of the most magical weeks of my life. This is us at Disneyland. We had a really great time here. We went on all of the rides, TWICE! I ate so many funnel cakes I almost barfed on the tea cups! LOL!
