Hi everyone....first time here in the forum. I would like to say "Hi" and I really appreciate meeting many of you on the road....you're all very swell and it's been a blast spending time with you. Also, I'd like to say that this forum has been a lot of fun to check in on from time to time.
The tour is almost wrapped up and I'll be selling the drumset after our last show in London. The Shepards bush Show is our last concert, but the follow two days we have some radio promo stuff, so I'll be saying goodbye to "Old Orange" on July 17th. The reason for this post is that I'd like to at least give the real fans a chance to own a piece of Frank Black history. I've put the drumset up on U.K. Ebay for a pickup sell only. You can participate in the auction if you're interested, or buy it directly from me:) I've got a buy it now price of £1,200.00 listed, but for any forum member, I'll sell it for £1080.00 which is about what I have into it with my cymbals included......hey it's even got Franks sweat all over it from those "Rockafeller moments".
As I mentioned in the Ebay Ad....Frank and I would be glad to autograph it...or not, if you don't so desire, and I'll provide the buyer with two tickets and backstage passes to the Shepards Bush show. I need to know by July 15th 1:00PM if you're interested because I'll need a bit of time to get the passes together.
The link for the auction is here:

Thanks again everyone for the support out on the road....It's been great fun....and there be more in the months to come!
Jason "Skippy" Carter

Wow. Welcome to the forum, Skippy. Any chance you'll be touring the U.S. and auctioning off another drumset later this year? I'm only in if Frank willl hump the next one, too.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

| Alright Skippy! what happened to your Blog man? I've been waiting for months to see those photos of the crowd you took at the end of the gig at Doornroosje in Nijmegen, I was right up the front so i think I should be in them. Do you remember talking to me at the end of the gig? I was the only guy in the place with a pixies T-shirt I think, somewhat embarrasingly, I mean who likes the pixies anymore, stupid name for a band anyway... Do you remember you sat down next to me and those two chick came over and talked to us? It doesn't matter... Would love to see those photos if you haven't already deleted them. Doornroosje is a very special place for me, it is one of the best venues I've ever known, and it was a real treat for me to see Frank Black play there. It certainly made up for the only pixies gig I ever got see in their hey day, the one at the SECC at glasgow that got stopped after only 3 songs! Damn them they said they would come back and the next thing Frank Black was sending faxes to the band telling them it was over! It took me a long time to forgive him for that, and its only recently I started getting into his solo music follwing the pixies comeback tour and then the pod cast thing. I think he reformed the band for the sole purpose of relaunching his solo career, certainly worked for me anyway, I think he is just as good if not better as a solo artist, the gig at doornroosje was way better than the reunion gig at brixton, it totally lacked the original energy of the band and none of them seemed at all interested in playing together. If you read this man I'd love to see those photos.... |
