We’re about as bare bones as a band can be. Just band members: no sound person, merch person or roadies, which brings me to another brilliant idea from the Sparks camp: “Roadie For A Day”. Help us hump our gear, sell merchandise, fetch beers, or select groupies (kidding), and you will receive the soon to be highly coveted Golden Lanyard with Road Crew Pass. You and your guest will also get in to the show for free. Just write to us at lazlo@donitasparks.com with a sentence why you should be our “Roadie For A Day”. We will crown one “Roadie For A Day” per city, so get your Mag Lite and fanny pack ready to rock.

Here is a little Digg for Ya Donita!!
http://digg.com/music/The_Spin…..the_Roadie
Hi, Donita! What’s up?
Yeah! Great idea! If I live in USA, I’ll want to participate! But… I live so far away from there… =/
Good luck with the tour! You rock! o/
Grettings from Fortaleza-Brasil!
Formating a little fuzzy this afternoon??
Question for everyone, is the site looking a little weird for any of you? I tried the site out on 2 different computers and it’s messed up
1,858 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…
Yo Donita…any word on the format fuckup yet?
KEEP THE FAITH AND THE MUSIC WILL SETCHU FREE!!!
Hey guys, sorry about the weird format. Nothing ominous, the powers that be are working on it.
Oh, also forgot to mention tried on 3 different web browsers (IE6, IE7, and Safari) and it still looks weird
Ohhh, okay, thanks for tellin us egregious :)

Fire up the emails Firepups! Donita needs some crew for these shows, who wants to help out? I know for a fact that Donita’s amp does go to 11, which as you all know is one more louder than 10.
I’d do it, but no shows in Canada
number nine, number nine
No Athens? boo hoo!
Dis website is fuked up
Who wants to come to the Indy show and party with Donita and I? First drink is on me for Firepups at that show!
1,858 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…
Yo Dinita, ya don’t need any broken down Scandanavians rushin’ the bouncers in yer club dates so my posse and I will stay home but I’ll get my sister and her jazz musician husband out to the ”Double Door” in Chicago.

New Moby my man. Can’t wait to finally meet Fini in Indy!
I promise I didn’t break the site this time. Sometimes I do, but this time I didnt.
CTuttle! What’s shakin?
Oh hell, I can’t wait for the June 12th show here. All my friends are coming. Both of them!
Excellent. You may be wearing the Golden Lanyard my friend. Can you send us an email at:
lazlo@donitasparks.com
Affirmative. This time fini didn’t break the site. It will be ok I promise. No tinfoil.
I just love technical difficulties… I just recovered from a week and a half of no computer…! 8-(
No tinfoil? So you mean, the secret Homeland Security Cyber Command didn’t secretly zap the theme used by FDL in a plot to steal all the left shoes across America?
*shudder*
Welcome back CT!
Don’t sweat crew for Indy, I got you covered there. I’m grabbing hands from the union who owe me favors for that gig.
Mahalo, WDD! I’ve got to go and update my baby now, Main & Central…! I’ll be back…! ;-)
Fini, I can assure you that all shoes are safe. Well, the Louboutins* anyway.
*Official high heels of the Libby trial. Guaranteed to divert the attention of the wingers :)
Truth AND beauty. We use ALL our weapons.
Donita
fun idea. very clever. kinda like rock and roll ushers. put the youngin’s to work!
Thank god, I didnt want to wake up tomorrow with the word that all the left shoes in America were stolen all because of our missing stylesheet!
Donita –
Transmiticate is a great album. I’ve been playing it daily for the past two weeks, since I got it. Thanks for all your hard work on it — I’d love to chat sometime about what went into the making of it.
Dare I hope that the ”TBA” on your tour list might be Seattle?
Rock n roll ushers! Classic!
Hey Dave, which tune from Transmiticate rings your head most?
CT YOUR Back! What did it take to get you back on the toobz?
@David
gotta a link for Transmiticate?
not my usual genre but i’m digg’n
err cmon cmon
this is a mess.
WHERE ARE OUR MODERATORS???
:((
D’oh, my bad the is Fire Engine.
funny cause when i was like three every time i’d see a fire truck I’d call it a tire fuck >:]
Heh, another ’puter…! I’m still gonna pick up a new power supply and fix the other one…! ;-)
yeah? u gunna install linux? :)
Nahant, is this the new upgrade ya told me about…? /s ;-)
tw3k, I’m thinking about it!
Email me the gory details:>(
@CT herez some p0rn 4 u then ;)
This week it’s “Need to Numb.” Last week it was “Curtains for Cathy.”
And FWIW, it’s transgenerational, too. My daughter (age 7) loves “Fly Feather Fly” and wants me to play it repeatedly.
Nahant, in a bit, right now I’m trying to get my fix… Dang, you never know what you’re missing until you’re missing it…! ;-)
oh hey! the stylesheet’s back! Yay Mods!
THANK YOU.
we’re back to above normal!
i was bout to give up.
:)
ain’t that the truth… Couldn’t leave you a comment @ M&C…. You had better get busy!!
Everybody refresh please.
I’ll second that emotion… 8-)
I keep refreshing…..still the same crapped-up layout :(
Log out and come back…!
Try closing and restarting your browser, sounds like the cache is not clearing.
OHWOWOW! We’re baaaaaaack!
Donita. I’m sure you’re badly needed right now to calm the doggies. Just caught up to the pack.
CONGRATS! MODS & TECHIES! (We have some in-house. we know how tough it is. trust me.)
Thot to share, as I look at repeat PBS tonite, has ANYONE noticed, much less commented on how much a beleaguered yet deservedly so, thinner ScottieMcC looks like the much more laid-back& cool-dude going by the Huckabeeeee label?
I have no idea what the foregoing means in the greater scheme. I just know it’s absolutely thrilling to have FDL back in full. *sinks back to fainting couch, fan in hand*
Okay, restarted the browser, works good now :)
when i tried to play Donita’s playlist above, it crashed my puter. is that a problem with the site in general? I’m afraid to try again.
I just posted my apologies and a ‘Back in Black’ utube…! ;-)
awww, i liked the plain layout ;)
Ok Hoffa, sounds good.
Yes David, Seattle at the Sunset Tavern. I’m glad that you’re enjoying “Transmiticate”.
Heh. I like Hoffa.
Should I add the Seattle date everywhere?
We still have no ruling on the Mi delegates. Two candiates name were not on the ballot (Edwards & Obama) and it was in the news and the newspaper here in Mi that if our candiate was one of the two name’s not on the ballot to vote uncommitted and they would sort out how to divide up the delegates later. I am extremely upset to read the article below. Seems Clinton wants to take/steal all our delegates. I understand the ruling that we only can count half them but I do NOT understand Clinton thinking they are ALL hers.

Yes please, my bad.
I have to split this groovy scene and run around like a headless chicken now. I still have to get tour shirts made.
I’ll check the emails later for my fabulous “Roadies For A Day”.
Have a great weekend everyone. Hope to see you out from behind your computers and out at our shows! Peace!
