Dan Deacon needs help getting to his shows. Turns out finding fuel for his school-bus-turned-tour-van, pimped out to run on vegetable oil, can be a bit of a challenge.
Scrounge up five gallons of clean used veggie oil, and you could be rewarded with a pair of free tickets. Even better, 30 gallons will get you dinner cooked by Dan Deacon himself aboard the veggie-mobile. Just don’t forget to make prior arrangements with the “oil master” Geoff.
Deacon made his plea to fans via this MySpace bulletin:
hello,
the school tour bus the 20 of us are riding in runs on veggie oil. we need help gathering that oil to fuel our bus. if anyone can bring at least 5 gallons of waste veggie oil to one of the shows we will put you on the guest list. it is easily found behind almost all restaurants.
if the oil looks dark and full of crud we can’t use it. the lighter the color and the less viscous the better. if you can bring us CLEAN and filtered oil we can put you + 1 on the list.
an easy way to filter the oil would be to stretch a tight sheet or t-shirt over a bucket and pour the oil into the bucket through the sheet to get all the gunk out. a slower way, but better way, would be to tie one of the pant legs of jeans into a tight knot and hang that over a bucket and pour the oil into the jeans, and clean oil will slowly pass into the bucket.
to arrange the grease for list swap you can call geoff at 862-266-6130. call or text him. he is our oil master. the more oil the better. we have enough storage for 100 gallons of oil. if you can get us 30 gallons we’ll cook you dinner on the bus (we have a little kitchen and many great cooks).
please repost this to anywhere you think it might help. thanks you!

Dan Deacon’s North American tour runs through the end of May. Deacon’s legendary live performances and rave reviews of his new album, Bromst, should provide more than enough motivation to bring out the deep fryer.
