Alright...to put Floop out of his misery, i'm going to enlist some of your help in figuring out the mystery from the information I received. You're gonna need to do some investigative work, ask around, do some digging, check public records, etc., etc. Since we're all brothers and sisters in this endeavor, we'll try to solve the mystery together. If you're in, you're in..and you'll share and i'll share and we'll all be happy in pixilated bliss. We don't have much time. It's a club in Southern California that I haven't been able to find information about anywhere. If you're a club kid and have knowledge, or have the ability and willingness to do some research, join our quest. If you just want to sit around and profit off the sweat of others, don't bother. I believe I have valid, reliable info, and if we could put our heads together, mabye we can come up with something. Floop can validate this about my lead.
E-me and i'll maintain the "master list" of sleuths and we'll work together on this. When you write me, let me know your qualfications (where you live, what you do, how knowledgable you are of the club scene, who you know, etc...)
Like I said...we don't have much time!

so where did the name of the fake club come from? |

We forgive you. Or should I say...I forgive you. And it's easy for me to forgive because I couldn't care less about the whole Pixies reunion. Good stuff, though.

Gee, this has really put a damper on the speculation.
Good one!

Hey everyone,
Now after a month of painfully keeping my mouth shut (for once), I can say that, YES, it was an April Fools "joke".
The last week especially, I've been very unhappy about carrying through with it, but I'd already taken it that far and just pulling it off the concert calendar might have caused even more trouble.
I was happy to see that somebody figured out the rather "heavy handed" hint from 15 days prior to the show, but it still kept going it looks like.
Anyway, it was all in fun and I've felt your "pain" before, trust me (as was explained in that same article).
Anyway, the people who wrote us are going to get a little something for their troubles. I'll be contacting them this weekend.
Oh, and if you want to check it out, we have an OLD interview with David Lovering's band Eeenie Meenie right here:
http://www.nofimagazine.com/e-m-int1.htm
Again, sorry for the bad joke. I love the Pixies too and YOU KNOW, I'm going to be there and backstage when they play finally...
(tonight?) NOOOOO!!!!!
Love and Robots,

Hey gang...
Well Nofimagazine just posted its reply on the whole pixies show... the motherhumpers were playing an evil-hearted joke. As far as anyone knows there is nothing going on tonight...

i'm pretty sure the special guest for tonight's Breeders show is the chick from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's (yeah-awn).. at least, that's one of them.
i'll be at home with an ice pack on my fresh, new ulcers.
serenity now.. |

i'm pretty sure tonight's breeder's show will be just that.
"just that" meaning a breeders only show. |
| jamestaylorman |
Posted - 04/01/2004 : 14:07:29
note how the breeders show is listed right under the fake show.. my guess is the zine is trying to say the rumour that the Pixies are the "secret guests" is true without actually coming out and saying it... this makes it more fun!
fun is like a warm ulcer |

i'm with floop... keep hope alive - just don't go given yourself an ulcer.
that "april fools" message is ambiguously cryptic.

Posted - 03/31/2004 : 16:00:04
i had that figured out after lsinger pointed out the "five-teen" thing. just because the translation means "april fools in fifteen days" doesn't mean secret blissful pixies gig isn't happening.
keep hope alive. |

I love it when he speaks. He's so Urbane...
So do we have any idea where the club is yet? Or are we all sitting tight until tomorrow? |

ha! you guys rule!
no no no no no. I don't know anything about tomorrow. for reals. i've just been reading your posts, and agree that if whoever posted that P2 stuff just did it for kicks, that would be horrible. i never heard nuthin' about P2 in the first place, but then again i am not privy to the "inner circle."
I don't know anything.
Now I have 5 posts. And this is my second on this topic. May 2nd is the second day of Coachella, right?
I plan on having a beer that day.
"Dirt off your shoulders" by Jay-Z is my favorite song at the moment.
This is my longest post ever.
See you guys around!

I'll say "they" or "it" from now on.
To our defense, it seems like this entire forum is a big sausage fest to begin with, isn't it? Not sure if it's a Pixies thing or an Internet thing.
It would be cool to see a girl or two in the crowd at one of the shows, though. I'm not even joking! |

ohhh...and I love it how we (i'm included) keep assuming f.o.j.a. is a "he". I keep meaning to avoid using sexist terminology..sorry fo.j.a if you're a "she". |

Even stranger...do you notice how friend of joseph albert has had 4 posts, yet this is his 1st post on this subject.
4 = 4th month of the year = April
1st post = 1st
Put the two together...
April 1st..April Fools!
Haha ...what a cruel joke...and that their his exact words! |
| roomloo |
Posted - 03/31/2004 : 15:01:14
So should we have some fun and parse joseph alberto's message word for word?
First, consider this. Is he:
a) really a friend of Joseph Alberto Santiago trying to help us out without divulging too much, or
b) behind this whole April Fool's zine shenanigans to begin with? |
| kromkamp |
Posted - 03/31/2004 : 14:58:41
Maybe tomorrow the Pixies will announce that *all* the shows are just a cruel April Fools 2004 hoax! |
| roomloo |
Posted - 03/31/2004 : 14:53:18
Hahaha ... f.o.j.a. pops in at just the right moments, doesn't he?
BTW, in case he deletes his post he said:
it really would be a cruel joke, wouldn't it? |

So I wonder how these pranksters picked up on the "P2" thing ... they must read these boards, eh?
I'm sure they've had a good chuckle today.
(although, I can imagine this thread will progress into "okay, so the April Fool's thing is just a cover-up for the fact that this really is a Pixies show" ... let's not end our fun just yet). |

Oh...that's fine...but now we gotta give props to Encylopedia Brown...er, I mean El Barto, for figuring out the riddle. But c'mon El Barto...go a little bit easier on us. It was fun speculation while it lasted, right?? I don't think there was any "bullshit" about it. and hell..i'm still going to the Breeders show to be blown away once again by them. |

I really don't care about all this Pixies reunion secret shows speculation bullshit...you guys are going to get an ulcer over this. But I figured I'd look in on this topic cause I am sometimes a good dick, and here's what I found...I'm surprised nobody picked up on this yet. lsinger's comment about the show at that same club (which might not even exist) being 15 days before april fools...this is so obvious:
A.F.,
Days
five-teen,
"in",
live at the
Cacahuete Hollywood
A.F. = April Fools
"in" = in
days five-teen = 15 days
April Fools in 15 days...

You, sir, are also a gentleman. And a reasonably good videographer :-) Try to capture this one too!
If you guys have a venue name, post it! I cant even go (since I'm three time zones away) but I'm dying to know anyways... |

Did I miss something? Did the location of the club get deleted before I read it? If this is the case, will some kind and generous soul please email me at Lixard52@hotmail.com and fill me in? PLEEEEEEEZZZEEEEEEE!!! I'll buy a couple of drinks and hold a spot in line at the club if we both get in... I just gotta know this...
I throw myself on the mercy of the message board.
