You know you're an Avett fanatic when...
Posted: Thursday, October 22, 2009 - 16:08
everytime you hit the Tab key on the computer you start singing one of their songs
or
You carry around the guitar pick Seth handed you at the 11/4/06 show in your wallet like a holy relic.
Got an example?

Well Locust, Mount Pleasant, Concord.... LETS GOOO!
You are drinking beer at you house when a full blown camera crew shows up and interviews you for and hour and a half on your back porch.
Sound familiar Drew52?

"Time is Art, You are Love, Peace is Now."
You spend your 8 hour day at the office doing nothing but messaging on The Avett Brothers website and think of ways to "SQUEEZE" the next concert in.

If you're loved by someone you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it.
People recognize you in public as "that chick from the boards/Facebook/etc who's always promoting the band"
or
You come to work one day to find that www.theavettbrothers.com/forum has been blocked from your work's computer network, and you flip your lid, ironically leading to even LESS work productivity!
(theoretical, ahem, mostly)
Angi! Thats what happened to you!

Do the best you can and that wont go unseen
I'm gonna go ahead and sum this up and say:
You know you are an Avett Brothers fanatic...............at first listen.
--
Tell me you can skip the day, and head up with me to the mountains.
...your license plate says "AVT BROS"

In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green and the redbird sings, I'll be blue 'cause you don't want my love.
Whenever someone calls you paranoid, you burst out, "WITH PARANOIA ON MY HEELS, WILL YOU LOVE ME STILL?" Happens every time.
Every time you go into Sam Ash Music Store, you run over to the banjo, stare at it fascinated, pluck the strings, and desperately wish you knew how to play a TAB song.

careful not to say that i don't care, or haven't, or can't, or will not again.
You answer to your message board name. : )

You speak only in Avett Brothers lyrics for example:
Tell coworker who is complaining about job "Do the best you can and that wont go unseen"

Everyone of the discs in your 5 disc changer is TAB...
Your ringtone is a portion of an Avetts song...1 2 3 4, I open my door...
You get a fairly large tattoo in honor of the sentiment and artwork behind one of their Albums...and you are contemplating your next Avett related tattoo...
You turn into a shriveling idjit when you happen to run into one of the brothers and attempt to engage in meaningful conversation with him...
You put an Avett sticker on your car, when you know your husband is gonna blow a lug nut over it...
you have an Avett's bandana hanging from your rearview...the only bandana you own...
You buy an Avetts cd that you already own, because it has a bonus track that you didn't get first time around...
You buy Avett's LP's though you don't own a turntable...
You take time off of work to partcipate in a video shoot...
Your teenage children shake their heads and slowly walk away at the mere mention of anything Avett related...
Shall I go on?????
I could....
You compulsively check your e-mail every few minutes waiting for the news announcement...
You have convinced your fiance to name your first born... Avett.. no one can steal that by the way!!
How about when you have 19000 songs on your ipod, but you only listen to 153 of them. (Avetts obviously)
when you relate every life situation to an avett song and most of your sentences start out a little something like this :" the avett brothers....
1. You talk about them so much that even your significant other, who likes them, starts to get really annoyed.
2. The question "Where's the banjo?" enrages you for one of two reasons.
3. You can sing just about every Avett Brothers song... in any vocal harmony line present... And you will periodically switch vocal part in the middle of the song just for funzies.
When people you work with don't know who they are, so you show them your desktop picture. And if they don't like that one, you open the file on your desktop with all your concert pictures in it!

If you're loved by someone you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it.
when you check youtube at least once a day to see if there is any decent live footage up.
When your friends make up a story telling you that they heard the Avetts on the same radio station that plays Shakira and the Black Eyed Peas, just to get your goat.
Then months later, the same friend goes into Starbucks and sees their CD for sale, calls me and says that he couldn't have even made that one up.
When you try to give your little sister life advice and it comes out “Jamie, The weight of lies will bring you down and follow you to every town, cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there.” And she totally thinks you’re a genius
Or how about begging your husband to stand outside the tour bus after a show (in the pouring rain none the less) just so you can watch Seth walk by?
When you dont go see your Mom in LA because you have tickets to the Avett show that night and you totally make it up to her by brining her to the Avett show when visiting her in NY
--
Do the best you can and that wont go unseen
When you start buying tickets to shows that are 8 hours away and you don't even know how you'll get there or who you'll go with.
When you buy tickets to three shows and keep it a secret from your significant other because he is "genuinely concerned" with the amount of money you spend on Avett Bros tickets/merch.
When you plan trips to visit out-of-town friends around the Avett Bros tour dates...
I recently told someone that if my wedding date ends up being on the same day as a nearby Avett concert that I would reschedule the wedding. They were like "WHOA! You just crossed the line!"
when you spend the night in the home of someone you have never met in order to attend an Avett Brothers show.
when you first discovered them, you literally did not play any other music for about the first eight months.
when the second the show is over, you are planning your next.
--
Meanwhile, there's Scott's voice, one of the most emotionally naked in any genre, merging with Seth's more guarded intimacy to sound like angels arm wrestling and tears drying on a cheek
When it's not just cold in your office, it's "fa-fa-fa-fa-freezin'" and other things like that.
When all of your co-workers poke fun at you for posting on the boards. Eat it guys!
I can't remember the last time I even listened to anything other than them...
--
careful not to say that i don't care, or haven't, or can't, or will not again.
these all sound so familiar.
at least we have each other.

Burn the questions. Burn the shame.
*hopes Heidi sees this
When you have art all over your apartment that needs to be hung and/or framed, but the one lone piece that you have managed to do both, is an Avett Brothers poster
--

You nearly cry at the thought of dancing to "Swept Away" at your wedding... : **)

Too funny! When I call my brother to tell him that I'm coming to Portland for a visit, he asks "when & where are the brothers playing?"
I'm glad to know that there are others with the Avett OCD!

"When I call my brother to tell him that I'm coming to Portland for a visit, he asks "when & where are the brothers playing?""
HAHA! that's awesome!!
i have a friend that knows about my addiction and all i have to say to her is "guess what!!!" and she says..."where are you going NOW to see your band?"

"We took a pickup, a tent, and a shotgun," recalls Scott. "We went out thinking it was a wild frontier."
When your biggest concern about possibly catching swine flu from your cousin is that it might make you miss your next Avett show.

"I wanna have friends that I can trust, that love me for the man I’ve become not the man that I was."

When the security guard standing behind the concert hall tells you where the boys will be coming out of the bus later to sign autographs you hug him ... and then tell him you love him.. haha yeah
Rusty_Jubilee: "You nearly cry at the thought of dancing to "Swept Away" at your wedding... : **)"
I'm still in high school, so my wedding is light years away...but that thought makes me cry every time nonetheless
--

...when one of your closest friends moves across the country and heads to the tour page to see when TAB is in their area so they'll know when to try and convince you to come visit.

Temporary is my time, Ain't nothin on this world that's mine, Except the will I found to carry on.
Free is not your right to choose, It's answering what's asked of you, To give the love you find until it's gone.
"when you spend the night in the home of someone you have never met in order to attend an Avett Brothers show."
Or ride in a car.
To an international venue.

I'll see you in the morning time.

Ummmm...Well...When you USED to think that fanaticism was a character flaw.
Used to.
You people need help.
I gotta admit...so do I.
Wow.

When you make a pact with yourself not to respond to the disparaging posts made by trolls, and ulitimately FAIL in an effort to seek justice in the world...wide web...
SO many of these are true for me!
When you open your home or give rides to complete strangers so they can attend out of town shows. My thinking is, if you can't trust an Avett Brothers fan, you can't trust anyone. I have met some of the most amazing, kind and loving people this way.
When you "borrow" someone's Avett Concert photos before you even meet them, because your crappy camera didn't get very good shots. (Was a great way to meet HAsh.)
And what Chrisvant said, for sure.
when you start seeing your girlfriend in a different light after finding out she actually hates the band and only went to the 3 concerts to do you a favor....
wonder why we broke up(insert other reasons that will make me cry here if you feel the need too....)

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense...Buddha
When Your 30 GB Zune only contains Avett Brothers, You 1 GB MINI SD card in phone only contains Avett Brothers, and when the two 5 CDs you have at the office are ......The Avett Brothers.
When you look in your rear view mirror and Realize that you THREE year old daughter is not only singing I and Love and You (every word) but even holding her hands up to count with them. (She calls the her "boys")
