Show Journal 2000-06-28
In all of EJ’s 10 year existence the lowest turnout ever was 3 paying customers. Tonight we almost broke the record with a total of 4 paying people. How embarrassing is that? No flyers, no press and we were listed on the marquee as “BOO OCTAIN.” But still, 4 paying people … ouch. There were a few more people at the show than that (maybe a dozen) but most were friends of or employees of EJ’s. In a real strange kind of was the show was actually pretty cool. Probably because no one was forced to gaze into the deep recesses of Kansas City Shawn’s anus again like last night. The Secretions were particularly entertaining this evening … even more so with the arrival of Scotty Potty from Witch Throttlegush. (Dave and I have always considered Scott to be the king of all hecklers … we’ve heard him talk smack about Canadians, Australians, Californians, punk rockers, teenagers and now people from Sacramento). Thanks to the few people who came out tonight and especially the 4 who paid which keeps us from being the worst show in EJ’s history.
