Wanna hear something crazy? Then go stand outside a big padded room at the insane asylum, douche.
First off : Welcome home Rainman. Mike Raymond has now officially crazyglued his ass to the drum stool behind the APAM drum kit. If you combine the 2 words in italic in the last phrase, you get stoolkit. Think about how clever that is.
Speaking of shit jokes, none were said in the van on the way to either Montreal of Toronto during the NxNe/Fringe Pop week. Odd. Usually, it’s all rank in that motherfucker, but nope. Most joking was done by Mitch Hedberg on the way to Montreal (PS: He’s a good/dead comic, look him up, well worth the 20 seconds it will take to find something on YouTube).
Big-ups to Jesper for saving my ass at the FringePop show in MTL. Our gear apparently decided to get wasted and mosh like emos in the trailer so my Amp head fell on its side and blew out a fuse. Odd how my amp acted like I did this past weekend: Drank too much, blew a fuse (I blew chunks though, not the dog, the semi-liquid). Jesper found me some fuses right before we got on stage.
Speaking of the show: What a crowd. The outdoors bar/circus sideshow deal was pretty much packed to begin with, then as soon as we started playing, rumor has it they heard us 4 blocks over, so the place got even more packed, with people ranging from 6 to 60 years old. i even cut the potty mouth so as to not be a jerk in front of 2 kids, but it was a useless move, because regardless of the few f bombs and what not, they got their parents to come meet us for photos and high fives. Killer kids! Oh, yeah and the place was pretty much full of hot ladies as staff/security, and of course there were some hot mens for the ladies there too. Although I suspect the crowd was a good mix of hetero and not-so-hetero couples/people. Note to a dude who screamed in the crowd: Yelling COCKSUCKAAAAA when we mention the song swearengen in front of a gay/lesbian crowd, probably a little impolite (although no one made a big deal of it, which is cool), but still hilariously bad timing. Thanks to all for letting us get REAL sweaty and dirty on stage, and as a plus, I can now add “Interlock” as another surface I’ve played a show on. Thank you lord.
