living a ruse im in the band muse
WASSSSUPP DEWDS. It's time to get my hands dirty with some blogging. I forgot to blog about the Polkadot Cadaver therefore breaking my blogging tradition. I will sum it up like this; good show, not a lot of people, and even less people who cared about anything other then Polkadot Cadaver. Our buddy Dan Devile came up from Toledo. Dead by 28 are cool dudes and hooked us up with a quater inch cable. Much respect to them dudes.
Aight now that is out in the open lets get down to the real meat and potatos LOL THE POTATO EXTRAVAGANZAAA.
We got asked to do this show like 7 months ago, and I thought it was never gonna happen due to how far off it was, but I was wrong man. Dudes were in effect. Our pals in Downtown Brown joined us in our van(which we dubbed the Motley Crue tour bus) for the trip up there because their van has been destroyed. It was a cramped ride with all the gear but a lovely bonding experience none the less. We had planned to get there by at least 2 so we could hand out flyers and get people to watch us, but there was a shitload of bullshit traffic that haulted us for a while. I'm pretty sure because of this trip Glover of DTB is now on a personal mission to find a Posi Topper. A charming part of the trip was when we were stuck behind what looked like a car pulling a cake that a stripper hops out of. It was wild, and we followed it to is destination: THE BOLOGNA FESTIVAL. We felt like we were a part of a parade. I opened the van's Vietnam doors and waved to the locals showing my support for Sheriff Flotz. John B took this opportunity to inform(scream at) a young lady that she should start smoking cigarettes before she is 18. The Bologna Festival looked incredible. They had pony rides, cool goats and sheep, some sort of bounce contraption, and probably a whole bunch of bologna. Sadly we were on a tight time restriction so we could not stop, but we did consider skipping the potato extravaganza in favor of the Bologna Festival. We stopped at some really raw liquor store to cop some booze, then a good 20 minutes later we arrived at our destination. The place was a church/youth hand out center. The second stage was on a basketball court, and the third stage was behind the church basically in a field. This was raw.
At the entrance there was a Rock Star Energy Drink tent that seemed to be the commanders. The chick thought we were Mustard Plug. We parked Motley Crue's tour bus and ventured around. Coke Dick Motorcycle was letting DTB borrow their gear for their set so we met them then I checked in with the dude in charge. I think there were about 200 kids there. We set up our merch depot and talked with some cool cats that came to see us and dtb. John B went to take a majestic shit in the girl bathroom while Glover, Ray, and myself went to the Motley Crue tour bus to drink some beer in secret. I was getting worried because Tikitime had drove seperatly and he had our quater inch, and only 40 minutes to get there. In that 40 minutes I got surprizingly drunk but lol dont tell the church dudes. Tikitime got there with literally 10 minutes to spare. We got changed and headed to the field stage, and set our phasers to rock n roll. By our third song I'm pretty sure we had at least 40% of the place watching us, and buy our next song we had at least 50% of the place watching us. Or atleast it felt like it, there were a shit load of people. We were told to watch our language but I'm pretty sure we fucked that up right off the bat, but the sound guy was down with us so we were safe. This was probably one of my favorite shows, as I was able to run into a field and pick flowers and give them to audience members. Durring I Like U we set fire to a bear, and after some dudes in the crowd were determined to finish the job, and they burned that bear all the way down to smoldering ashes. John B/Tiktime were getting pumped, I'm never sure of the actions they take durring shows(unless I'm getting drop kicked by one of them) as we are always somewhere different from each other, but rest assure he was a beautiful falcon.The mics they gave us to use were like kareoke mics from radioshack so I don't think they were that clear but they did the job. Things got pretty wild durring our 30 minute set. I made instant mashed potatos in my mouth with water. I almost puked that shit was disgusting haha. Then Tikitime ripped off my shorts and ripped a giant hole in my boxers in an attempt to reveal my penis snake to the world. So I gave an outro speil while covering my balls and my dick with my hand.
We sold a bunch of shirts and dudes told us we were the most incredible thing they have ever seen and thats a lot like the first time I saw Jurassic Park, AWESOMEMEMEME. We got a couple of new show offers from a couple different people and that rules. I talked to some new fans for a while and John sold t-shirts like cocaine. I had instant mashed potato flakes all over my face. It felt like an extra flakey layer of skin. Disgusting, but self satisfying. After a while I walked to the merch area and I heard some dude on the basketball court stage saying something like "THERE IS NO BOOZE HERE IF YOU WANNA DRINK ALCOHOL YOU CAN LEAVE" and I thought it was some stupid band so I started yelling "FUCKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU" and some other shit, and it turned out the dude on the mic was the old dude who ran the place. So him and his posse of 50 year old dudes surrounded me and I was like LOL JKKKKKKK I JUST PLAYED IM COOL I WAS JUST KIDDING LOLL. I escaped, but barely. They had their eye on me for the rest of the night lololol. Some of the headlining bands like Forever in Terror and Crackjaw didn't even bother to show up, so there were some holes to fill. I'm pretty sure DTB played sooner because of it. They played a great set as usual. I'm pretty positive that us and DTB were the only bands other then Mustard Plug to get really good responses from people. People watching the other bands just looked kinda bored just standing there. After they played we caught the end of The Spaghetti Western's set and they were really good. Then drank more and partied around. Met some more interesting and cool cats. I rented a hat from Mikebuster for 15 minutes. Mustard Plug played and they were pretty fun. I drank like 13 free rock star energy drinks, I had to much energy busting out of my cells but I can't say no to free. After Mustard Plug we packed up the car sold a last couple t-shirts and mingled until we departed. We stopped at a taco bell that was like 20 minutes away. They forgot to add my crunch wrap and they wouldn't just let me order one at the window, so fuck them. The ride home was a laughfest, and thats all I say about that lololol.
Overall it was a great time. Thanks/Blog shout outs to Nick and Doug for setting the whole thing up and inviting us to play, Downtown Brown, all the bands that played, everyone who watched us get down, everyone who bought shirts, that nice girl who helped us clean up after our set, autopsy magazine, that techno dude, the sound guy for the third stage, peta for not being there, shane, amber, mussio, gio, jen, casper, everyone we met, 5 star ronnie, bologna festival, sheriff foltz, the obama ladies, lee's dollar store,Mastadon Demons, if I forgot you i'm sorry but I think I got everyone.
