I am sitting at the House Cafe in Dekelb Illinoise! I have been givin a free shcicken wrap a pickle and delicious chips alonh with a complementary miller light, and that is plent payment enough for me to rap tonight!
This is a great town, I went to the library earlie, went to a famers market and got 2 plums.. me and 1980 were also givin free cupcakes at the local historic theater.
I have determined that we need free cupcakes at our shows, along with a beautiful girl to promote the show outisde of the venue and sell stuff at the merch table...
So..... do we have any volunters? the requirements are:
you must be a,
Beautiful Girl
age 21-31
w/ sales skills
and you must be ok with living poor on the road, not being sure where you are going to sleep or wake up and occasionally sleeping in the van and maybe cuddeling... :)
if this sounds appealing, you will be able to:
travel to exoctic locations all over the universe
feel like a celebrity
have fun and be free from your boring life
if you want to audition for the part you can email me your picture and resume or call me.. or contact me via facebook.
Thank you and have a great day

The Great Escape Tour Blog #1
Hello!
It's day 6 on the Great Escape Tour for Modern Gentlemen and I have finally had a chance to sit at the laptop and share a little of what we have been up to the last few days!
Day One - 08/21
We met up with MC Pigpen, Pat Maine, Dusk One and Derill Pounds and rocked sets in our hometown of Superior WI at Norm's. It was good to see all those fuckers again, and the show was fun. Nothing unusual (for Superior, that is..) to report here....
Day Two - 08/22
We headed to Minneapolis and rocked sets at Honey at Gingerhop! Nice Venue! We were joined by our homies C-Silence and Nobuddie for the show! We got to see some people we hadnt seen in a while and have a few drinks, so it was a good time! Thanks to Nobuddie for setting up the show and extra special thanks to Nick and Matt for putting us up the whole time we were in town!
Day Three - 08/23
Day off! We hung out in Minneapolis and got drunk at Nick and Matt's that evening. Good times.
Day Four - 08/24
We picked up Pat Maine and recorded a posse cut with him and Daniel Heavens during the day. We will post that online sometime soon! We played a house party that night, which was pretty sweet! We were played sets along with Daniel Heavens and Moonlight Grammer, who we strongly suggest you check out online! I don't know his page, so google that shit! On the way home from the party Matt came pretty close to vomiting in our van. Luckily he got it all on himself and in a Burger King bag.
Day Five - 08/25
Headed to Milwaukee were our friends in Family Power Music host Grassroots Wednesdays at the Miramar Theater! The show was fun, met some new people. Dusk One, Pat Maine and myself slept in some attic with dog shit on the floors. Touring is all about creating memories like that one. I think I just have to sleep in a dumpster and I will have paid all my dues.....
Day Six - 08/26
We are at The House Cafe in Dekalb, IL were we will be playing later tonight. Nice city, reminds me of Stillwater MN a little. We will have to update you on how the show went and if I slept in a dumpster on the next blog....
Nothing too crazy in this blog, but we just wanted to give you an update of how things are going! For those of you in the Twin Ports, our debut album "A Gentleman's Guide to Dangerous Living" is available at the Electric Fetus in Duluth, MN!!!
I leave you with this quote:
"I feel sad for these people... they have no peace of mind"
-Bliss, after hearing a song by Wacka Floka Flame, Guccie Mane, Rick Ross and Young Jeezy.
Peace,

Preparing for Tour; Part One: The Great Underwear Fiasco
Preparing for tour can be a stressful process. There's lots of things you have to get done before you hit the road, both in a personal and business manner. Making sure your merchandise and promo materials are in order, taking care of bills and tying up random loose ends can keep you busy for a weeks before you hit the road. The most important thing though, is making sure you have the right underwear packed for the trip.....
I own exactly 17 pairs of boxer briefs and 4 pair of boxers. It is imperative that I bring only my A-Squad on the road with me. I don't have room for all 21 pair of underwear, so only the best pairs are to be put in the suitcase. I like to keep my underwear in near mint condition, but I don't have time to inspect the quality of my underwear on a daily basis, so some of them could only be graded "Good" at best. Talk about stressing yourself out before tour. I need almost a whole evening to try them all on, inspect them and grade them on different levels. Who has time for this? But it is important, so I make time. I could show you all the charts and graphs that I made during this process, but I don't have time to scan underwear charts on to the internet all day long. Just use your imagination.
Now that the whole "Great Underwear Fiasco" is over I have time to focus on picking out soaps and lotions and all that other shit my body needs to stay fresh. After all of that I may actually have time to practice one or two of the songs that we are going to perform on tour.
Speaking of songs, our debut album "A Gentleman's Guide to Dangerous Living" is out on 08/21. You can preview some tracks at http://www.myspace.com/moderngentlemenhiphop
Keep checking back on this page for updates from the road, and more announcements regarding our "rap music."
