Show Journal 2001-09-05
Day 13 – Woke up this morning and took a shower. If you travel I would highly recommend TA truck stops. Their showers are the bomb. We made a detour to House on the Rock today … the indescribable tourist destination in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Since we slept late Dave, Justin and Kevin ran through the house in just under 52 minutes. Usually it takes 4 hours. Jim and I cleaned the van and located any clothes which were contaminated with “the funk of 40,000 years”. We saw a lot of Milwaukee today since we drove through at rush hour. We were running really late today and played Goldeneye to pass the time. The amount of smack talking that surrounds a game of Goldeneye in amazing. I find myself saying things I would never say if not for the empowering nintendo controller. We have lots of flies in the van which is very annoying. We try to kill them with Dave’s porn but he doesn’t care for that. Green bay was really small. I figured any city with a football team would be huge but not Green Bay. Unknown to us the show tonight was supposed to be cancelled. It’s too confusing to explain but in a nutshell the La-Donnas cancelled but our friends in the Shut-Ups kept the show happening and got other bands for us to play with. We owe them a huge favor now and can’t thank them enough for their help!!! Special thanks to Lugs for the help with a place to stay and just being cool as hell!!! The Shut-Ups have a new lineup and I thought they kicked ass. After them was Death and Taxes and they totally rocked. Their singer was an absolute maniac. I always love charismatic singers … even if they do almost hit you with a ladder. Despite the small turnout the show was lots of fun. Amazingly this 20 person show was more fun than the previous nights crowd of 200. After the show Dave was offered $50 for … shall we say … a sexual favor from a girl in town? We told him he was crazy for not taking the money. He probably couldn’t live with the shame of being a male prostitute. Dave the gigolo. Funny. Another truck stop evening.
