Jake to miss 2/26 show

Nah

This is more proof they know they need Jake to survive and sell tickets.

I’ve obviously shown that i don’t know shit but if Jake is currently not reliable, wouldn’t spending the last few weeks scrounging up somebody to jump in on guitar for a weekend or 2 make sense from a good production standpoint? They had no shortage of drummers ready to fill in at 2 different points.

Without those fill-in drummers, the shows woulda been canceled. They don’t need to cancel these shows. Also - part of me feels like those shows were tryouts for some of the fill-ins.

This whole Jake absence is so weird. Credit to the band/org for keeping what happened under wraps. It’s clear it isn’t a substance problem.

We have no idea what is going on

Also recommend the Sonoran/Tex-Mex dog when you come south of the Mason Dixon line

This to me is the funniest, and therefore least likely outcome

I just want to hear that Friday’s show starts off with Mulche’s or Ringo, starting off a nice summer of UMoe. and maybe we bury this thread under a sea of posts about bunned weiners.

Literally always thought it was one of each

I love how @matt speculated about alcohol issues and people jumped down his throat over it, then @iamkickinit speculates that it’s not about alcohol and people are like whoa hold your horses there

My shit hasn’t been speculation - it’s a fact and directly from the band. Multiple convos at diff times/places. I’m trying (failing) to be respectful of those sources/relationships. Oh well.

Are band members consistently lying in private convos about this across many months? Perhaps but that’s v v unlikely. (Granted, they were apparently lying or oblivious about the punching thing).

Can’t say it any more plainly: Jake has a drinking problem and - more importantly - is aggro when he’s drunk. He needs to not be drinking to be in the band.

Like I said before, believe whatever you want and cope as hard as you’d like but those are the facts.

Anyways, I’m done expending energy in this thread (that isn’t hot dog related).
