Van robbing is sounding like a pretty lucrative career this year. I should get in on this.

do you guys think there is like some sort of underground conspiracy of mugging bands? like a band robbing mafia?

You know, I wouldn't be shocked if it really was, I mean people can find out where the band is playing and then most likely where they're going to stay that night on the internet.

it's the work of the record labels, in efforts to prevent the peoples' ears from hearing music that's actually worth listening to. Keep their ears numb so they can continue to pedal their sub par music to the masses.

We should form an angry mob.

What dicks, who steals passports just for the hell of stealing them? The equipment, yeah you can sell them but passports, come on. The spaniards have a history of fucking shit up for other people. i. e. the aztecs/mayans.
