This is not a real dog. Yes, Kevin was fooled too.
A life-size cut out of the doorman at the Eastside Tavern in Columbia, MO. The
sign says "Sorry man, no sleeveless shirts allowed." We actually saw
a drunk guy with a sleeveless shirt read this sign and then walk away.
This picture is just crazy. Colin's actually playing a racecar driving game
here.
Jesusland.
A healthy meal of pretzels, corn chips, and potato chips.
Two nice people we met in Dubuque, IA and hung out with until the wee hours.
Kevin also met his apparent long-lost twin brother here as well.
Cute.
We stumbled upon this while driving through a small town. It was a religious
shine made of junk [literally, there were pieces of broken plastic, bottle caps,
glass, spoons, etc. mixed in with stone.]
Globe band photo.
Pausing for an imaginary doom metal band photo op... think the back cover of
Cathedral's "Forest of Equilibrium".
The coolest guinea pig ever.
Look out.
A still from "Grill Skills", a Wendy's employee instructional video
from 1989 which was shown to us at the Cactus Club in Milwaukee, WI. No images
or words can do justice to the hilarity contained with this fine film.
Enduring some painful opening band somewhere.
Jucifer blowing everyone away.
Kevin with friend Natalie who works at Vibes Music, a great record
store in Indianapolis, IN.
Some post-show 3 am self-amusement at Denny's.
Here we are lost. "Just follow dem regular roads... don't take none of
dem gravel roads there..."
Colin at Yakuza's house in Chicago, IL.
Our friend Andrew in Beloit, WI where we played his college.
Amanda of Milwaukee, WI who saw us twice on this tour and bought every item
of merchandise we had.
Ehron of Madison, WI who let us crash at his house and bought us fancy Canadian
beer, also proud owner of the "coolest guinea pig ever".
Jucifer and crew with their dogs outside of Mac's in Lansing, MI.
Truck stop shower. God bless the truck stop shower.
Kevin found this guy on the fourth floor of an abandoned building in Detroit,
MI.
Filthpimp! One of the bands we played with in Detroit. This was a wild day,
which consisted of us being accosted by the police at gunpoint while sitting
in our fan watching a movie, exploring a 30-story abandoned building [see one
picture above] where we found wheelchairs, bottles of sulfuric acid, and messages
carved into the windows that would project onto the walls and floors when the
streetlight shown through, among other things. Later that night we were offered
a hotel room in which there was a raging goth/fetish party going on until 5
am. The whole hotel consisted of (mostly) middle-aged men dressed in latex,
purple dreadlocked pigtails, purple capes, and goggles, and thugged-out gangsta-looking
dudes.
Here Kevin indulges in a rock 'n roll cliche moment. Later the next morning
Jeff would forget our money pouch [all our tour earnings] in the hotel room.
Lucky no one stole it by the time we came back to retrieve it.
Kevin at a basement show in Saginaw, MI "singing" for a metal band
who lost their vocalist earlier that day.
Colin tries as well.
It sure does.
Drummer of the Lurking Corpses at Cup-A-Joe's in Auburn, IN.
Popcorn maker at The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, MI.
Yes, Collapse live in Dayton, OH. This was one of the better shows of tour for
us.
Mouth of the Architect live in Dayton.
Kevin after a few drinks posing on someone's motorbike.
Until it's rightful owner arrives.
Jucifer live.
Ed of Jucifer is one mad drummer.
Jucifer's roadie Eric telling the crowd in Akron, OH about his misadventure
earlier that day. You see, there was a show happening at The Lime Spider of
straightedge Christian hardcore bands prior to the Jucifer/Dysrhythmia/Tightwhips
show that same night. Eric, after being pushed, made the mistake of spitting
beer on 16 year old straightedge hardcore kids while rocking out [he didn't
realize it was "that kinda show"]. This action of his lead a group
of pseudo-tough guys to beat him up and then throw him out of the club. Not
too funny at the time but many laughs were had about this by the end of the
night.
Amber of Jucifer with her weapon of mass destruction.
Unexpected snow and sleet storm.
Origin at Cafe Metropolis in Wilkes Barre, PA.
Final show at The Knitting Factory in NYC.
Jeff Eber, a master of van packing, spatial relations, and lounging.
Dysrhythmia with "Big Mike" of Arkansas, who traveled all the way
to NY for this show!
