So today we did a college radio interview where the guy had never heard of us didn't know what we were called and didn't have a cd....way to go label! But it turned out alright ..the best thing that came out of it (other than more than half ofour cd being played) was that he gave us directions to a diner....the duchess diner specifically...it was one of those places where all of the servers are these old ladies with huge hair and faces that hold make-up like barbed wire tears t shirts, harshly aged by years of cigarete smoking.. I had a Mediterranean omelet. What do you think of when something is described as Mediterranean. I know ina place like that I expect like feta cheese.......spinach olives you know....what it was was onions, sausage, bacon, swiss cheese, and tomatoes. What's mediterranean about that. And the waitress would shuffle to the back and yell to the orders to the kitchen. It was pretty hilarious.....dave our sound guy was talking and holding his tuna sandwich in his hand and dropped a piece of it into my coffee. I don' t know if anyone has ever witnessed the effects of tuna in coffee but its pretty fucking gross...like shredded curdled milk. The hilarity never stops especially when we arrived @ tonights venue..the premier music hall. This venue is massive....its pretty hilarious...and there are like four long rows of high top tables that are all facing each other so it looks kind of like they could hold a goth bingo night ...and be pretty successful at it..........I already like it better than last nights venue..here everyone is capable and helpful not careless and inept.......and (this is one of my huge pet peeves) the venue was one of these huge multi floored multi stage corporate megaplexes. Not practical in any language other than money... You know the guy who dreamt it up was like " My dream is to have as many stages of music going all at once every night of the week, that's how much I love music"..yeah forget about the little things like not making the walls sound proof enough so that all the rooms do't bleed into each other.....or even having the proper equipment such as monitors and mikes so that all the bands don't sound like shit, that doesn't matter,nah, just as long as I am able to capitalize off of tons of bands all playing at once who cares if any of the listeners have a good experience after all they are only the ones who are keeping this place afloat....and (huge pet peeve coming) if you are spending all of this money running a club, why not drop an extra 20 or 30 bucks and put fucking locks on the bathroom doors. That drives me crazy!! Why should the womens rooms be the only ones that have toilet seats and locks and stalls. I know plenty of guys that have had to wallow in the uneasiness of their regularity because of ill equipped facilities. I mean you're on the road all you are eating is fast food, not sleeping well, driving long hours to provide entertainment , the oppurtunity is bound to arise you know....why make it something that is traumatic.........well tonight should be grand...no excitement of the peeves and the stage is hooked up like Rush concert..so I get to bust out my geddy lee boots........bytor and snowdog rock on!!
