ha! you're playing my town on may 13th. there is no lhs around here at all. you'd have to drive about an hour and a half north to find a decent place for gear. even then you're not going to find much but high prices.

[Chadd 916]

Interesting way to promote the band

[Guest phillyfan]

That's good for your band. Congrats. First tour? Anyway, in the Philly area, the FSZ in Northeast Philly isn't bad, but it's nothing spetacular either. There are some decent Pro-Shops in Jersey if you can wander off a bit.

[Joe 1]

I might go to your show in Sacramento. have any info on your band? I think the closest one is in roseville and its probably not worth your commute. Let me know what venue you are playing at.

[Chadd 916]

the band website is in his signature

when you get to detroit, stop by one of our stores www.getinlinehockey.com has directions.

[Flo Hockey 7 0]

In and around Minneapolis as you can imagine there are plenty of good stores including Hockeygiant in Bloomington and there is Zappas in White Bear Lake it has a fair amount of pro-return equipment from the Avs there is also Letterman Sports in Blaine and the Xcel Energy Center has a bunch of sticks for fairly good prices and a couple pairs of gloves once in a while.

There aren't many stores with a ton of pro stuff but almost all have very good service.

[Kirsch 1]

Too bad you guys aren't swinging by the Quad Cities. The closest you get is Iowa City. Oh well, there aren't any shops that are that great around here. In Iowa City Scheels All-Sports inside the Corralville mall has some good stuff, but not much selection.

[kosydar 0]

In the Portland, OR area they have Northwest Skate Authority, I'm sure you can find the number in the phonebook there. Decent selection, but they had a bunch of 2004/2005 Easton sticks in there a few months ago, so I'd assume they'd have even more now.

[Buzz_LightBeer 973]

Madison and FOnd Du Lac are each 1 hour away from my shop, let me know if ya need anything

[koivulchuk 1]

what venue are you playing in st. louis? we have several shops here...i believe there are 5 total hockeys in the area... www.totalhockey.net ...and johnny mac's are ok...i might come see ya if you let me know what place...my guess would be creepy crawl?

[Dave 1]

Is that you?

[Dcons5 0]

haha...definetly not me, that would be the singer....and guys, thanks so much for the info, hopefully i wont spend all my money on gear but it will be hard not to. and just to avoid confusion...two man advantage isnt my primary band. theyre gonna meet up on tour with my other band on june 26th in OKC. unfortunately, my primary band doesnt have 1 song about hockey...but two man covers those bases. for a detailed list of dates (venue info and stuff) check out www.hudsonfalcons.com and the dates are on the front page. come out if you can and check out two man advantage anytime past june 26th. man this sounds like a shameless promotion, but i cant think of another way to word it. again thanks for all the info. im sure ill find some internet cafe while im out so i can check up onthe board, otherwise id have to read or something ;)

[mack 44]

I can't tell if that looks more like Kevin Smith or Machine from "8MM." Normally I wouldn't spend that much time thinking about it but I'll be damned if that picture isn't going to haunt me forever.

[Chadd 916]

Avoid the Rock and Roll hall of fame in Cleveland, it's a major disappointment.

[Bo from Boston 0]

He looks like EarthQuake from WWF with a mask on...

good luck with the tour, thats bad ass you get to play with gotham road(michael graves sang for the new misfits) i would recommend peranis is well. by the way, do you know where you are playing in pittsburgh yet? i may have to check you guys out.

Agreed, that has got to be one of the most heinous looking human beings ive seen in a long time.

[Guest 2048]

Kinda reminds me of the dude from Pulp Fiction actually. You know, the one who was in the full leather suit and got hanged by bruce willis?

[Bo from Boston 0]

That would be the GIMP

ROFL...i'm aware of how old this thread is...but i had to bump it because i saw two man advantage play at chain reaction in anaheim years ago...from their site:

"July 13, 2001 - @ Chain Reaction, Anaheim, CA / with: Damnation, Smut Peddlers, Pistol Grip, and The Liberats"

also, i remember they played in the parking lot of an arena after an NHL game...can't remember what team though...probably NYR...

and the guy's other band hudson falcons are pretty big...

[2048 0]

Parking lot concert? Sounds like the Devils or Isles, not the Rangers.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Anaheim.

They don't teach you kids how to read at BU?
