Though Sherwood were a whole lot cooler when that short Mexican looking guy was in the band, they are nevertheless still the homies, and they’ve been representing NorCal and MidCal all over the world as of lately, touring Europe, Asia and everywhere else their RV takes them, which will soon include their recently announced Fall headlining tour. Here’s the release, replete with dates, openers and hyperbole. Word of warning though, don’t play dice with Joe Greenetz. He picks that shit up like a motherfucker:

GOLDRUSH! - A Sherwood tour this October meant for seeing friends, polishing old finds, and mining new ones.

SONGS! - Between touring abroad and playing festivals in North America, the Sherwood lads have begun writing songs for a new album slated for 2009.

DELUXE! - This fall will also see the release of Sing But Keep Going [Deluxe Edition], Sherwood’s first album repackaged with 4 previously unreleased songs.

TOUR! – Thus with songs both old and new in mind, the guys are eager to catch up with friends and see what you all think.  That means select dates on the west coast this October with support from The Pink Spiders, The Summer Set, Barcelona, and The Reign Of Kindo:

People will do just about anything to make some scratch, apparently including peddling fake flu shots.

A Visalia, CA woman, who is still at large, has been posing as an employee of Kaweah Delta Hospital and making the rounds to local businesses, selling flu shots for the low, low price of twenty bucks a pop. The most amusing part is, people have actually been falling for the scam. But, then again, people are idiots. And this crafty woman is cashing in on that stupidity and the intense fear we industrious Americans have of getting sick and, fucking heaven forbid, having to be totally unproductive for a day or two. Not to mention that half the time you get a flu shot you get sick anyway, because they just don’t protect against every nasty bug out that is floating around out there in the atmosphere. So, unless you are very old, very young, or for some other reason have an extremely weak immune system, you could probably survive the flu season relatively unscathed if you simply boost your vitamin intake.

If you do find yourself unable to resist getting that all-powerful flu shot, go to a fucking shot clinic, for Christ’s sake, don’t just let some random woman who shows up at your job poke you with a needle, no matter how trustworthy she may seem.
