I'm going to Forge a few posts here by doing a recapture of the last tour. We had initially planned to venture out west this January, but steve got into a serious accident and in order for everything with him to turn out O.K. he has to follow through with some physical therapy visits. We cut shit down into reality and did what we could with the amount of time we had between visits...
Went like this-
December 27 - Virginia Beach, VA @ Gil's Bar&Grill
At this point we pretty much were expectation-less for lack of better words since we only played from now until New Years day. We showed up forty-five minutes before the show started but it was an hour and a half past the designated load-in so all the other bands went through 5 boxes of fucking pizza. Assholes. Gil's is a decent place to have a show if there's nowhere else to get down. This literally was my first bar show being 21(be surprised how many non bar venues ACTUALLY exist eh?) i was stoked. Ordered a 'weiser since there was no Blue Moon or High Life. Moutheater & Moral Dillema played first check both bands out, our bud Ben plays drums in the 2nd band. We played next, solid set, i tripped and fell i think only once but i got an anonymous tip that we pummeled through I Rise & Maintain's merch table. Either way, i saw a circle pit, i was into it. We played solid i was really stoked and shit, i wish justin was there. I am always too burnt after we play to watch probaly the next 2-3 bands, i did manage to enjoy Ruiner's set from a chair in the back though. It was there first show of their winter tour as well. We got somewhat shorted but i think we had the best reaction of the night. Went back to Ben's and made way to much sketti, talked some shit and then fell asleep.
I will update the following days soon, the first day is usually the one involving most thought...i'll get to the other dates soon.
Dec. 28 - Kernersville, NC @ Creations Skatepark
So after we tied a make-shift cock&balls to the back of Ruiner guys' trailer and put a few pieces of smutty porn on their windshield we rolled out of Ben's house and we needed to get our oil changed so we headed to our Wal Mart...where we and i think a lot of bands stop to buy whatever the fuck it is that we might need...(if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! but for real fuck wal mart). Got our oil changed and bought a bunch of fucking doughnuts for no reason and they were all delicious. We paid to get that oil changed and peaced out. Got to the venue, it was raining but not too bad, until we decided to bring equipment in when it started pouring. LOJ dropped the show and joey said they went to south florida to kick it all week before this is for you fest. Hard Pressed, the band we were doing the dates with played before us, i hope it wasn't because we were running behind. Dudes played solid...heavy balls, they covered "Into The Void" - by Black Sabbath and i couldn't believe that shit, all i wanted to do was headbang. I was so fuckin syked. We played our best set @ Creations we've ever played and we have played there 3 times before. Sounded real heavy some kids looked confused, some kids felt it. Some kids just played dumb. Either way had a good time, cut the set short because Hard Pressed went over on time, no sweat though! I don't care, we dish out tardy behavior left and right so we can deal. Triac made me feel like my brain was exposed to direct source of hatred. Ruiner did well and i saw a lot of kids faces that looked like they were getting really emotional. Bugged them enough to get a free limited run poster. Didn't stick around for Pulling Teeth's seti went to the liquor store to try and get some captain morgan but you can't buy liquor past 9 in North Carolina... drove back to lukes. settled in for like 10 minutes and then right back out the door a few roads over to party at Grant and Muchods house. Lots of nonsense, satanic airhorns, played some cards, shot the shit. chilled out and ended up walking back to Luke's and then taking anothet trip up the block out to the YMCA bus yard to piss all in the back of bus, throw empty beer cans everywhere and smoke the place out. How fucking ignorant.
