Show Journal 2001-02-15
It’s been a long time since we played a decent bar show. The last few shows were un-promoted and empty. Thankfully the lineup tonight was really good (and well publicized) so the turnout was pretty good … especially for a Thursday. The Muddy River Nightmare Band kind of got the shaft by having to play early and ended up playing to about 8 people. Quite a few more people lingered in for Lopez to whoop their asses. The place was really full by the time SK and the PAB took the stage. Those guys are so good they just make me feel like quitting. Even though we played last quite a few people stuck around which was cool to see. The highlight of the show for me was about half way through our set when Justin stepped up to the microphone, pulled a pancake out of his pocket and proceeded to wipe the sweat off his face with it. Yes, in case you thought you misread that I did say a pancake. Why was a pancake in his pocket? I don’t know. Why did he decide to rub it on his face? Again, I don’t know. But, yes, it was a pancake. Anyway, after soiling his breakfast treat with sweat he tossed it into the crowd and said “this is for you baby”. It turns out it landed at his sisters feet and Dave was quick to point out to everyone in the crowd that Justin had just referred to his sister as “baby”. Creepy. Thanks to the other bands who played and everyone who stuck around late. No thanks to The Satyricon for not paying any of the bands and not letting Lisa in.
