Sunday August 20th, 2000

New Brunswick, NJ @ the Melody Bar
w/ 400 years, & Break Of Dawn (steve note: as you'll read, only Break Of Dawn played).

The first 2 days of this Break Of Dawn (BofD) tour have been awesome. Mitch is with us again, and we brought "Douce" from Montreal too. We also brought a Nerf football, which is definitely the best thing we've done for tour. Plattsburgh was really good as usual, we've already seen Andre of BofD naked, wearing an alien mask. Lawrence, Mass was last night, which was good. Kids were going fucking nuts for this one local band, the singer buzz sawed an upside down metal garbage can shooting sparks everywhere, and Mitch threw some giant stuffed bulldog in the pit, and the kids destroyed it.

Mitch with the Bulldog before he was tossed in the pit.

While we're at it, here's a classic Mitch pic from the morning of Day 3. Thug.

Today is day 3, and well, nobody was at the Melody to open the club, but all the bands were there. We followed 400 years to some vegan ice cream stand nearby that they liked. When we got back it turned out that nobody was really gonna show up for the show. 400 years decided to drive home. Us and BofD sat around outside the venue forever, and then we decided not to play. The promoter still gave us $20, and BofD decided to play for us and like 5 people (friends of there's showed up). They were awesome.

Both John's and the drummer Luke from ex-number 5 were there, fucking awesome dudes. Us and BofD stayed with John Stanley, but before heading to his place he took us to Jersey Shore. Mike seems to have lost his wallet, and he may have pink eye, which fucking sucks. Douce, Tweedy, Mitch and I went go-carting, which ruled, while Andre jumped in the ocean naked (steve note: Andre likes to be naked). The night was capped with some karaoke. Andre and Jeff (of BofD) did "War Pigs". Funniest shit ever. They said there "band" name was the Grim Reefer, Jeff did a mad jump off the stage and George, the karaoke nerd, flipped out.
(steve note: i forgot to mention this drunk ass girl karaoke-ing "I Love Rock N' Roll" and her lame frat boy friends came up to us while she was singing and said "we're trying to get her to say 'I Love Cock and Balls' huhhuhhuh").

Satan laughing spreads his wings...

Douce snores like a fucking monkey.
