Show Journal 2005-10-28
Tonight wasn’t exactly the raging Halloween extravaganza we were expecting, but when you have four priest costumes, free food, a big screen Atari, and you only have to drive two miles to get to the show it can’t be that bad. Lots of people showed up throughout the night with some great costumes but by the time we started playing they ran for the doors. You would think at least the folks from Team Zissou would have had some earplugs in their kits? We took the remaining crowd of 50 to about 10 in a matter of minutes. In retrospect our new song ‘Destroy Tokyo!’ might not have been the best opening choice for the unsuspecting ears of the PSU crowd. Just for the record it should be noted that it is damn hard to rock in priest attire. The fabric doesn’t breathe and acts like an oven. No wonder priests can’t keep their robes on, because I can tell you first hand that the shit gets hot. It also makes moving quickly a problem because you can really bend at the knees. I felt like a penguin waddling around on the stage only without the nice tuxedo. Thanks to Papa Ike and the Trainwrecks, KPSU, Alex for the show hookup and very special thanks to Dorothy for bending over to fill out the costume paperwork.
