apprehensive about playing a college bar, but when i found out the other two bands on the bill were irish punk and "new york sex punk" I was very relieved. The sound guy was really cool and we hit the stage around 10:30
It was the best show we have ever played.
Besides a missed hihat the audience didnt notice, the show was flawless. The place wasnt packed, but having twenty people you dont know really get into some of the weirdest rock and roll ever played was pretty damn exciting. I can honestly say I didnt miss a note, and afterwords i got royally smashed on some jack while the other two bands rocked out.
The night was far from over, though. While we were outside some guy that had been bumming cigs during the show came out and approached us. "Want to come out to the country with me?" he repeatedly asked. No matter what we said, he wouldnt be deterred from us coming out to his mansion. He told us that he would take us fishing, cook us breakfast, even give us $30 for gas money! I was kind of scary, but sad too. He left out the part about fucking us, but that was obviously the point of the discussion. Highlight of the tour.
Best of all, the van died! Wouldnt start, so we slept in the van in front of the venue, across from LSU. In the morning Remmy from No Fuego came out and saved our asses! Pulled up onto the curb and spent thirty minutes trying to jump our van. Words cannot describe how much of an ass saving it was, and we're not gonna forget it.
