We are thinking about do some new t-shirts but I need more opinions. We have a couple of designs. #1 reads "Shade Tree Sucks". #2 is the Official Martini Mcbride T-shirt. It has a picture of Bret a.k.a. Martini McBride throwing money and sipping a martini. There are some more ideas floating around. If you think you would be interested or if you have any suggestions let me know. We have the normal show schedule this week plus a bonus Shade Tree show at Mako's on Friday July 2. That means it is mandatory for you to be there... so on that note. I'll see you this week.

Back to work after a week off. Rob spent the weekend in Las Vegas to unwind and I spent the weekend in Chattanooga with Todd Snider and sat on my ass wishing I was in Las Vegas. If you haven't heard of Todd Snider then you should definitely check him out.You can get to his website through our link page. You are guaranteed to laugh your ass off.
Rob and I are in the process of choosing songs for our record. I'm not real sure when it will be finished.Hopefully by the end of the summer you will able to pick it up. It's going to have songs that we are doing solo and a few acoustic versions of old and new Shade Tree tunes. So, be on the look out for it. I'll let you guys know the title of the record when we get one. Until then, keep coming out to the shows and checking the site to stay in the loop.

Bret Lybrand has been stripped of his title of "Funniest Drunk Ass Alive." Last Night at the Station we had story time. A guy who I will name later came up on stage to sing a song by The Darkness for his birthday. For a reason unknown to anyone he decided to fill everyone in on some things that have happened to him recently. First, He told us about pissing in his pants. Then he said that wasn't bad after he shit all in his bed. BUT..that wasn't as bad as after jerking off and I quote this guy: " I just accidentally...you know...skeeted on my lip."
Yes, boys and girls he said "skeeted on his lip".
br> Therefore, Bret is no longer our champion. Handing out Urinary Tract Infections just isn't gonna win you anythng anymore,Bret

Lots of things have been going on lately in the life of Rob and myself.Most important is that I am 24 days sober. I know that we have had to reputation for being heavy drinkers. We knew eventually it would catch up with us. Well, It caught me first. I have been classified as "alcohol-dependent". Being an alocoholic has been the blunt of many many many jokes in my past. But I now can see the seriousness of this disease. Believe me, I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here. My opinion about my drinking buddies has not changed one bit. My opinion about myself has. I have been pretty quiet about this over the last couple weeks and Rob has given me his support. So, I guess that means no more rumpleminze shots for Dave.
To answer all the questions that everyone has asked me in the past few weeks; this is what is up. That's why I have this diary; to let you guys know what is going on with us. Most of the time it is stories about funny things that happen to us or around us. Every once in awhile I feel like I need to let you know the real deal. So on that note; the mystery is out. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an email. If you feel like you are struggling in the same way check out the link below.
Ok, moving on. Rob is now playing at Mako's on fridays for happy hour. He starts around 6:00pm. They have free food from Big Daddy's and it is awesome.
Our old pal Bret will no longer answer to the name "Bread Labia". He has now transformed himself in "Martini McBride". You see, Bret enjoys drinking martinis out of a martini glass and prancing around holding it all metrosexual-like. He refuses to put it into a normal glass. nuff said!
And now for my PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The front door of The Station has a window AND a door knob attached to it. It is not JUST THE WINDOW. There is no need to walk as fast as you can into the wall that is just a window and has not evidence of a door knob or anything else related to a door in a mechanical way. They don't put giant plants in front of the doors there. If you cannot find the exit, please ask for assistance. Don't just assume that all of the windows are doors and run spack-dab into one and expect it to open right up. You can't play that one off very well.
But don't worry Miss Annoymous Window Walker Into Girl....you secret is safe with me.
