october 3 2003 - i have no idea where, ca
so, we were supposed to play in victorville, california. but the club owner called the cops on some screamo bands that played there a couple days ago, so the whole thing got moved to a house show. when the directions to the house include, "and then you'll turn onto a gravel road", you don't have high expectations. but this house show out in the middle of freakin' nowhere turned into one of the funnest shows on tour so far. people were out of control.
we almost didn't get to play because bill and i were shooting off fireworks in what turns out to be some state-protected grassland. it didn't help when the neighbors mistakened some exploding roman candles for gunshots. but bill proved his alcohol-fueled proficiency at talking down both the cops and the neighbors. bravo, bill.
