DAYTON, OH 7/3/04
the robots woke up and said goodbye to their west lafayette homies
including the stray cat that made best friends with Patrick.
we all went to White Castle for breakfast (always a bad idea). none of
the LA guys had only heard of white castle from beastie boys songs so
it was an experience for them. the concensus of breakfast was that
white castles are not good. they are slimy and shitty burgers and the
west coast wasn’t missing anything. they don’t understand that you
have to eat at white castle once a month or so to remember why you
don’t eat there regularly.
we were about to head to dayton but anti-log remembered to call his old
chicago mafia family that had a house in lafayette (home of axl rose).
we headed to the house and they were cooking steaks and shrimp. the
crew was bummed that they had just eaten white castle but several
people decided to eat anyway. we took a quick swim, gave many many
hugs and headed back to the freeway to head to dayton. anti-log felt
good to know that cement shoes for enemies are a phone call away.
we hit the four hour drive to dayton and saw several billboards for Tom
Raper RV’s. that guy had to have had a difficult time dating with the
last name raper...
we finially hit ohio with the mormons leading the way.
we got to dayton and it was a zoo. they were setting up for a
fireworks show (on the 3rd) and there were thousands of people on the
shore of the river waiting for the show. we had no idea that dayton
was an actual city. it was full blown with buildings, people that
weren’t white, and police everywhere. we pulled up to the club
(elbo’s) after battling traffic and were pleasantly suprised..
some shows. Turns out she lives near dayton and she brought her
boyfriend Matt (along with a big ass bottle of vodka and a bigass
bottle of seagrams) to the show. much drunken battling took place in
the parking lot and we missed the first band completely.
The mormons took the stage and blew the doors off the place. The sound
at the club was really good and it was an in your face show from the
first note. The dayton people had no idea what hit them. they
shredded the club and people were in awe at what they were witnessing.
when they finished the show i heard someone say, ‘we don’t get bands
like that to roll through here. that was the best shit i’ve seen in a
long, long time.
8-bit went next and were inspired by the amount of energy the mormons
brought to the club. the 8-bit crew were all over the place, dancing
on the bar and swiping beers from behind the bar. the crowd was great
and it was the only time 8-bit felt that a club had too much bass.
the final band was called 8-bit revival. they brought the good rock
and the guitarist/keyboard player had a chaos pad. everyone should
have a chaos pad... its a fun addition to any live or studio set-up.
the people of dayton were real nice and were interested in talking to
the people in the bands. one set of folks invited everyone to a party
and one guy named andrew had the bands sign his shirt.
we packed up and rolled to the party. we got phone calls from our LA
friends that are in New York. there will be a crazy three day
whirlwind drunkfest when we get to NY. the party was cool and everyone
was really talented there. there was a weird thing with girls blowing
out the asses of their jeans. we thought it was Dayton fashion but it
turns out that it was coincidental ass accidents.
we eventuallypulled out of there and began the 12 hour trek to
massachusettes.

I'm related to Tom Raper!
When my improv troupe went to Chicago, we also went to whitecastle, and were also disgusted. They do have some nice packaging though.

I ain't no robot. I'm the Andrew that had you guys signing my shirt. I'll have to post a picture or something.
Tom Raper RV ads are shown like every commercial break here since the Price is Right went on air.
Mobile homes! Sectionals! Campers, Truck caps and trucks of all kinds!
Come school Dayton again someday.
