I have a few questions. Some of these may have been discussed, but I can't remember the answers if they have.
1.) where did the name 50 peso reward come from? Is there a story there?
2.) some of the songs, like I'm Never Getting Married for instance, don't ever actually say "I'm Never Getting Married" in the song. It says "I'm Never Gonna Get Married"
Another one of those is In The River.
Is this just for effect, or is there another reason? I kind of think its cool, I was just wondering.
I think that is all for now.

Hey Fisch....
1. Unfortunately, the name 50 peso reward doesn't mean anything. We were all drunk one night and trying to think of a band name and Danny came up with it and we all liked it. Now maybe it has some sort of significance to Danny, but he has never mentioned it to me. We need to make up a better story about where it's from.
2. I don't mind the effect, I also think it's kind of cool. But it's also functional. For some reason, I had a problem with having the word "gonna" printed on the cd. It just didn't look right to me. I also didn't like "I'm never going to get married" because I felt like it made me sound funny in my head when I read it. "In the river" is from the lyrics - "...out in the river there's rocks down where..." but it was originally just called "the river". We changed that because there is a Bruce Springsteen album and song called "the river". And with us doing a cover of his already, I didn't want there to be any confusion.

cool. Makes good sense to me.
Yeah, I really like that song by Springsteen. When you told me way back when that you were doing 2 Springsteen covers, and I saw the original list of songs on the album, I thought you were doing a cover of it. (I didn't know 11 hours).

Smite, John. Wee discussed this exact same thing about 11 hours and you convinced me I was wrong. Bastard.

none of you told me that. Well, Craig said "Oh, okay, I thought that was an original"
But no one else said anything.
You are all liars.
