Back In the Saddle Again

Well,
After about a week, and and hour being talked down to by the MidContinent guy, I'm back on-line.
It's good to be back, as I've missed you all very dearly.
The Colliseum show was strange indeed,as King Wolfgoat The Charasmatic pointed out earlier.
I'm trying to introduce commas into my typing again, after many years without practice, and feel I am doing an adequate job.

So...First Night. Wumpus played at their "this is what it might be like over the course of an entire evening spuished into 2 hours" event.Hence the 3 songs. We started the night with Space Invaders w/out the X-rated Gwen Stefani intro. I opened my eyes half-way thru and everyone was looking at their shoes or admiring the new ceiling(which was fantastic!) of the Colliseum. Next, we broke into a lively take on The Can Can Can.This song yielded pretty much the same result as Space Invaders but we still had our ace in the hole.

The night ended with one gentleman thanking us for not being too dirty or satanic, and a lady offered to drive us around in her Suburban, on tour I presume.

All in all we had fun and it was totally worth dragging our entire PA downtown to play for 10 minutes

Puddllzz

The place on earth where I live is a big puddle right now. A giant crevice reaching down to the very bowels of the underworld has opened near the intersection of 26th St. and Cleveland Ave. It's only a matter of time before gremlins, goblins and imps start coming out of it.

2 thangs

2 things:

First of all, I know DSSTM will agree with me that the Detroit Pistons are going to feed the "Lakers" a fist full of shit. And they will hurt them and beat them.

Second, you may soon rock to "Fight On The Mic." Details later.

ELECTROCUTION!!!

So, me and the boys were hanging up carpet, on the walls, in our new practice space/recording studio (like you do) when I decided to remove the old heating unit from the wall, in order to run mic cables from the control room to the studio. The unit looked pretty old, like it had not been run in a long time. After unscrewing it there were 2 wires keeping the heater on the wall. I asked the Reverend Snip Jackson if he thought the wires were live and he replied, "No". Now, in order to get the heater down the wires had to be threaded through a small hole on the back. As I thread the wires they touched and sat me on my ass sending a fairly large fireball into the air. "Whoooa" I screamed and the lights dimmed in disgust.

LESSON: any wire is a "live wire" and should be treated so.

LESSON II: assholes who know nothing about electricity should stay the fuck away from ELECTRICITY.
