After sleeping for about 3 hours, sweating my ass off and swatting flys
off myself all morning it felt incredible to take a shower. Jimmy went over
to a motel and got a room and we each took turns sneaking in and washing
days worth of dirt and filth off ourselves. Before leaving the Flying J rest area
I got in an argument with some cowboy because I asked him to move his car.
When we park the van, we have to park across a few parking spots so we don't
stick out all over the place. This guy parks rigth behind the trailer, so i can't back
out. So I just asked if he could move and he gave me some attituded about
parking there and not in the back with the semi trucks. So basically I called
him an asshole, and then he said he wouldn't move his car. So I told him okay,
I'll just back right into it then. He made me apologize for calling him an
asshole and then moved his car. Jimmy managed to grab the camera...

Holy fucking heat wave. It was 101 degrees as we were driving through
Kansas. Every time we stopped for gas there were corny references to
the Wizard of Oz. Remember, Dorothy was from kansas? One particularly
stupid shirt said, Toto for President. I would be down with the shirt
if it was the band Toto running for president, but the scrappy dog??
were getting blown all over the place. Our merch guy meets a cute girl
and our van is getting blown. What thehell is wrong with this picture?
We finally got to within 20 miles of Topeka and we got pulled over. We
are sure that we were pulled over because of the California plates
cause we couldn't speed due to the high winds. This cop was a dick. A
racist dick.
He said we were swerving (it was fucking windy) and that we weren't
using our turn signals to change lanes. Then the fucking guy said,
'What are you doing in town. You here for that Mexican-fest or
something?' What a fucking dick. We live in Highland Park for
fucksake. Every day is like mexican-fest at home. Why the hell would
we come to Topeka looking for mexican people?
We told him that we were in town to play a show in Topeka. The
conversation went like this:
"Where you playin in Topeka?"
"At a club called the Boobie Trap"
"Uh huh, i see.. What kinda music dya'll play."
"We are a hip hop group and our friends are in a rock band"
"OK, but why'd you two got the same tattoo"
"We all do, its a band thing"
"I see. Well, drive a little better. I'll let you go.'
'Thanks (the muttered 'racist dickhead')
It's funny cause Bodies sneaky ass got it all on video. We oughtta
send the clip to that guys superior or something. Cops are dicks
wherever you go i guess.
a YMCA is cause we needed to shower, and we asked where the Boobie Trap
was. We got directions and realized we were hungry so wee asked where
mexican-fest was. They never heard of no mexican-fest.
and talked to the cute girl behind the counter. he talked her into
letting the 7 of us in for free to finally shower. Afterward we all
felt tons better.
The Mormons were running late so we went to the club to try to smooth
shit over. We pulled up and got out of the van and some older,
mulleted douchebag came up to the car.
"Are ya'll the band?" says mullet
"yeah, one of em"
"where you been? youre late! you were supposeda play at 8;30. its
already 9:45."
"We don't have any gear. The Mormons have all the equipment."
"Well shit. This aint gonna work at all"
"Fuck it then, we won't play"
"Well, i'll try to figure something out. Maybe the local band will
play first"
What a fucking joke. The guy runs sound at a bar the size of our van
and he's got a total boner about time and shit. Gimme a fucking break.
We stated calling him 'Mulltard' because he was a retard with a mullet.
band played and they were nice guys. They had to go to work the next
day so they were cool with playing first. The Mormons go to the club
and we quickly loaded in and began playing.
We started the set and the music was super low. i was signaling for
mulltard to turn up the music but he wouldn't do it for whatever
reason. When the song ended i yelled out for him to turn up the music.
He didn't understand what i meant. i said the music, turn up the
fucking music. He threw a little fit and turned the shit up.
The crowd was primarily in their 40's and it was hot as a bitch. We
went over like a black man at a Klan rally. We were bombing with the
crowd. We hurried through the set and closed with Suck my dick. All
the dirty old men and women related to the song and they wanted to talk
to us after the show.
The Mormons played and went over much better than we did. Patrick
popped out onto the floor to do his thing and mulltard turned his
fucking mike off. He said that Patrick had to stay on the stage or
he'd turn the mike off again. Fucking control freak bastard.
smoke. I got some info from the locals and here is what we know about
mulltard.
Mulltard is his middle 40's.
Mulltard is into metal.
Mulltard lives with his mother..
Mulltard drives a minivan.
Mulltard has never been known to sleep with either sex.
Mulltard is suspected of wearing womens undergarments.
with a guy that wants to learn sound from Mulltard to eventually take
over his job. That guy was super cool. I talked to another kid that
was a SHARP that turned out to be a really cool guy too.
All in all, Topeka sucked ass but again we managed to find cool people.
No matter what happens we find cool people and manage to have a good
time. Oh, that and drink too much.

It was incredibly windy on the freeway (ok. ok. the interstate) and we
were getting blown all over the place. Our merch guy meets a cute girl
and our van is getting blown. What thehell is wrong with this picture?

We got into Topeka and filled up the cooler with Pabst. We asked where
a YMCA is cause we needed to shower, and we asked where the Boobie Trap
was. We got directions and realized we were hungry so wee asked where
mexican-fest was. They never heard of no mexican-fest.
Vic sold the liquor store guy a CD and we went to the Y. Vic went in
and talked to the cute girl behind the counter. he talked her into
letting the 7 of us in for free to finally shower. Afterward we all
felt tons better.

We stated calling him 'Mulltard' because he was a retard with a mullet.
They had $4 pitchers of pabst. so we dove into drinking. The local
band played and they were nice guys. They had to go to work the next
day so they were cool with playing first. The Mormons go to the club
and we quickly loaded in and began playing.
We started the set and the music was super low. i was signaling for

The mormons finished their set and we all went outside to drink and
smoke. I got some info from the locals and here is what we know about
mulltard.

I talked with the door guy who turned out to be super cool. I talked
