May 20th, 2000

Windsor, ON @ Gino A. Marcus Community Center
w/searchingforchin, Girl Named Conspiracy, +1 other.

The day began in the US where we stopped many times between Grand Rapids and Detroit to blow up the remaining firecrackers, bottle rockets and M-100s we bought in Indiana (steve note: our paranoia of any border crossing meant we had to use all these explosives that afternoon or the Canadian border guard might fuck with us). In great anticipation of pulling over and setting these bad boys off Mitch threw a spinning sparkler smoke bomb into a plastic bottle. It smoked up and started melting through the plastic so Nick tossed the smoking bottle out the window.

The last stop we pulled up to some school yard and we capped off the bombing with a huge row of crackers wrapping an old light bulb and blew it up. After that we put all the rest of the bottle rockets -like over 100- into a paper bag and set fire to the bag. It ruled (steve note: don't know if it's a guy thing, but blowing shit up still rules).

getting creative, bottlerocket off the shoe.

We made it to the border in good time for the show, but we were pulled over. No problem when they looked through the van, it's good we used all the fireworks. The Girl Named Conspiracy (GNC) dudes were at the show very early, earlier than us, so we chilled with them for a bit (steve note: we knew a few of those GTA dudes from their old band Noteriety, who were an awesome melodic hardcore band. We played with them back in 1999 in Brampton with amongst others Moneen).

The show ruled, best of tour by far, lots of kids, at least 50% girls, and as Mitch said "there were probably 15 girls I'd do and like 4 of then were super hot". I have like 4 bumps/scrapes on my face from the show. GNC and searchingforchin were amazing. Windsor definitely has an awesome scene.

After the show we were tired as shit and hauled ass home, stopping off and some Tim Hortons with GNC. Unloaded when we got home and got to bed at 10am.

not all that uncommon, Mike beatin' on Mitch.
