    the more you know about the Troubadour show

    that rhymed. my interns haven’t been here in several weeks, hence the lack of activity here and on ebay. i’m about to sell my arted up guitar and i hope the winner comes to the show so i can just hand it to them.
    HEY, THE GIANT DRAG TROUBADOUR SHOW IS IN TEN DAYS. i just wet my pants a little.
    yes, MICAH and myself. like old times but with some new songs. this fucking swine flu better not fuck with the show. i thought i had it for a minute but it went away after 4 days of holding still. anyways, check it.

    obviously Giant Drag is headlining.
    my best friend Joe and The Icarus Line will be rocking your faces before that.
    and just to fuck up your brain there will be acoustic acts in between both of us. what????
    one of these acts, Shakey Graves, has been in my car’s cd player for many days. oh boy he is good! buy any music he is selling, you wont be sorry.
    AND IF THAT WEREN’T ENOUGH WE HAVE MICKEY MADDEN FROM MAROON 5 AND THE WORLD FAMOUS ANA CALDERON DJing BETWEEN ALL THE MADNESS!
    could this show get any better?! mmmaybe…. i guess you’ll just have to come to find out.
    xoxo annie
    p.s. tickets are on sale through the Troubadour’s website and other places… no interns so no links, look in the previous post for that.

    Giant Drag Troubadour Tickets On Sale Now!!!

    Thats right, its intern day. Therefore, I found out my tickets are on sale and I am being forced to write this when I could be watching TV and wearing my Snuggie. I am wearing my Snuggie but the TV is on pause.
    UPDATE!!!!!
    The line-up for the show has been created, it will look like this but different-ish:
    GIANT DRAG
    THE ICARUS LINE
    SHAKEY GRAVES

    Buy Now, this show is expected to sell out friggin’ quick, don’t let my mom’s friends be the only ones occupying the Troub’s capacity.
    And did I mention, its me and Micah… together… again? ohhhhh, yeaaaahhhhh.
    Speaking of Micah, who I thought was my friend, he signed me up for Twitter. I don’t understand this. Micah, how could you? You took a twit on my face dude. Apparently my username is my name, if you want to add me and smell my twit.

    Giant Drag Los Angeles show & more

    finally, something is happening. no more talking about it. well, here is some talking about it….
    (please read this in a monster truck show announcer voice)
    May 16th in Los Angeles, Giant Drag, in it’s original form, come back to headline The Troubadour once more. Annie Hardy, Micah Calabrese, An audience of people looking at them and the songs that you’ve been listening to since 2005(ish) and brand new jams you’re going to hear on the new record. A night to be remembered, at least until the next day- its the Giant Drag break-up/reunion show with special guest bands and DJ’s and if we can work it out, a screening of the amazing new music video for “Stuff to Live for”. Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Tickets on sale now!!!!
    actually i think its a saturday but after midnight it will be a sunday too. you come and get it.

    in “weak” news, my computer died over a month ago and i just finally got it back up and running yesterday. besides having a shit ton of emails, i lost EVERYTHING on my hard drive, including all the pictures you guys sent me for the collage in the swan song EP artwork. send them again if you want? this has been a pretty weak experience and i apologize for the lack of internet activity, including the ebay store, but you can’t do much without a computer and i milked that laziness for all it was worth. i also lost all my demos on garage band for the new album songs that i hadn’t quite finished. anyone care to pay 5 grand so i can take the hard drive to a recovery specialist?
    thats all for now. talk to YOU soon my friend.
    xo annie

    p.s. i’m going to put that “arted out” giant drag guitar on ebay soon so if the winner lives in LA they can get it at the show.
    p.p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICAH!!!!!!

    i love coconut syrup soooo much i spit it out of my mouth and smile

    finally i have come here with something of substance to talk about instead of lying about how much work i am doing. i mean, i am doing work but really, lets be honest with myself, i have nothing to show for it…. until now.

    so ladies and gentlemen, i present to you a clip of something that is about to exist. but for now suck on some seconds of what we are calling a “teaser” for the “stuff to live for” music video and the swan song EP.

    GJ Echternkamp really outdid himself making this the best video EVER and torturing me harder than he ever has so i hope YOU will enjoy it as much as EYE didn’t enjoy having milk and Tampico dumped all over me.

    check it out:

    ebay back again

    the ebay store is up and running and it has the best shit yet, assuming you think one-of-a-kind collectable items that are all arted out are the best shit. i think that. do you? yeah, “arted” may not be a “word” but if it was it would appear in the dictionary like so:
    art*ed /are-’ted/ adj. 1. covered in art, such as original drawings or paint. 2. something that has been turned from ordinary to exceptional with the use of art 3. something that once was cool and then, with the help of art, becomes awesome.
    example: “annie arted all over the giant drag tour poster and it looked cool so people bought it off ebay”

    Ebay Store

    coming soon: an arted guitar. collectable and practical. start saving up for that auction. who arted?

    Scratch that last post

    so yeah, Shovie had some emergency and that shits all postponed.
    i shall let you know when its gonna happen.
    hold on to the exciting, curious feeling that that last bulletin may have given you.
    you can still listen if you want, i mean who doesn’t love local music, am i right ladies? and there are some Giant Drag Xmas songs being played here and there, i hear.
    if you live in LA and happen to be free tonight you should totally go to the Viper Room. I don’t know if you heard but Chi from the Deftones was in an awful accident last month and is in a Coma so tonight there is a benefit for him. bands are playing, Shaun Lopez from Revoution Smile, Far (perhaps you’ve been hearing their cover of “Pony” by Ginuwine being played in full rotaish on KROQ?) and producer of incredibleness is DJing and most importantly its a benefit for Chi. so here comes either a successful copy and pasting of html or a bunch of letters and symbols.

    COME SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE.


    One Love for Chi, Part III.. is at The Viper Room Hollywood, CA this Sunday, December 21st.


    Chi is still in critical condition from a car accident early this November. All proceeds go to Chi and Chi’s Family. Your love and support is very much appreciated by all involved.
