Spitball Army

Here is the full text of an e-mail I received in preparation for a solo acoustic in-store performance by Pete Yorn at my store:

Subject: FW: PETE YORN In-Store Hospitality Rider
Date: Jun 29, 2006  1:47 PM

Here’s Pete’s in-store hospitality rider:

Water — preferably Smart Water

Assorted sodas

Bottle of red wine ($20 min), preferably a cabernet (please include a bottle opener!)

Jack Daniels

Hot water/tea

Honey and lemon

Snacks (i.e. pretzels and Tostitos)

I’ve heard that pretzels can make a person thirsty, but c’mon!  Maybe it was the industrial strength, sea salt-encrusted, hyper-Nacho family pack of Tostitos we gave him that did it.
