Yesterday beloved Megaman inspired musical fighting force The Protomen had some car problems on their tour of the United States. They broke down on their way to Texas and reached out to fans via twitter, facebook, mailing lists and their own site in an attempt to make their show. Unfortunately they were not able to make it and had to reschedule but even that news is eclipsed by the events that followed. Due to the fact that The Protomen HAVE to rock and roll, they decided that if someone in the Texarkana region they were stranded in could assist them in moving equipment to said fan’s house they would hold a rock and roll pool party for the fan’s friends.
So did a good human being take them up on it?
Holy shit – what? Really? Wikipedia describes Texarkana as “a two-county region anchored by the twin cities of Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas, and encompassing the surrounding communities in Bowie County, Texas and Miller County, Arkansas.”
But it doesn’t say anything about the region being devoid of fun! Where are the disclaimers at when you need them?
How could anyone let such an opportunity slip by? It’s almost shameful to think that a stellar band was forsaken by people who should have been honored to get their ears destroyed by the sonic force of The Protomen.
In the end all we can say is that they have some time to prepare themselves to shower our heroes with love and respect when they make their return for the rescheduled show. I know that if this were to happen in Philadelphia or Toronto, the homes of GNSU, that we’d have the best goddamn pool party in the universe. Ever. Forever. The end.

Texarkana, I am disappoint.
We am disappoint too, Asterisk, we am disappoint too.
