Show Journal 1998-02-11
So we get a call at 9:30 this night asking if we want to play a show at 10:30. Why not – we were going to go to EJ’s to see the show anyway. So with the help of Rob the Stalker we ran out to our practice space and essentially broke in so we could get our guitars and amps. It was total mission impossible. Normally our place locks up at 9:00 and the alarm activates so we (Dave) had to hurriedly scale the wet barbed wire security gate, open the space up and shuffle our gear over the same barbed wire fence and get going before the police arrived. Not to mention as soon as we stepped foot over the fence we tripped the motion sensor and the alarm started going off. The other bad news is that they do have a security camera that points straight at the gate. The whole time I’m thinking about Judas Priest singing Breaking the Law. Of course, according to our friend Rob the only laws that Rob Halford breaks are the laws of nature. (Rob’s opinions do not necessarily reflect that of the band.) Anyway, back to the stealth mission – we arrived safe and sound and had a great time despite our criminal status. There was a good turnout and as always Bomf! rocked everyone in a huge way. So far we are still running from the law … all for the name of punk rock!
