Last night’s show at Maywood was awesome. The kids there at the camp were great. They were going crazy and that helped us to have a really energetic performance. Jeff, as usual, was out of control… and that’s the way we like it. The more Jeff goes nuts, the better I play, and the more the crowd digs it.
We were attacked by horseflies. Before the show, one swooped in and struck Hood right in the arm. I smote him to the ground with my ball hat, but just as we thought the threat had been averted, his hostile, horsefly brother flew in right behind him for a sneak attack. I dropped him, too. But then one came up and bit me on the shoulder right in the middle of Perfect Little World. Jeff documented all this via photograph.
As I write this, we are packed into a cargo van. Me, Denton, and Jeff are sitting on a sleeping bag with speakers stuck into our backs; Jennifer and Hood are riding up front like royalty. I think we’ll mount an attack and overthrow them…
We’re on the way to Monroe, LA right now. We play with a band called Two Empty Chairs tonight. They’re cool. You should check them out. Their lead singer is a funny dude.
We just had to pull off on the side of the road to do a call-in radio interview with Rick Godley over at KHLL in Monroe. He’s definitely the funniest DJ I’ve gotten to talk to so far.
Ok, I gotta go, because we’re all comparing to see who has the most foot hair. It’s a long trip…
