we woke up in the morning hung over as all get-out.
adam gave up and called in sick to work to recover.
the robots got to say goodbye to those incredible
motherfuckers and were sad to leave austin. austin is
such a cool city!!! if you live on the east coast or
midwest, keep an eye out for those peabodys playing in
your town. be sure to give them love and take care of
them because they took care of us like family.. we
love those peabodys!!!!

we sadly hit the road. on our way to oklahoma city
(still in texas) we all stopped at the olive garden
and got all you can eat soup and muthafuckin salad,
which was nice after a steady diet of liquor and fast
food. when we stopped for gas i went to take a pee to
find a drawing of a black stick figure being hanged in
the bathroom. when i stepped out of the bathroom
there was a black guy waiting to use the facilities.
Thats some fucked up redneckery in Texas. A few miles
ahead was the "President George Bush Turnpike." go
figure...

I crashed out in the car for the boring ass ride and
awoke to find 5 bands rigs in front of the venue.. We
find out there are 7 bands playing that night.. yay!

We met up with the guys from the band Valley Arena who
jumped on the show since their Oklahoma City show was
cancelled. Their drummer had a good point, "Even if
no one shows up there will be about 35 people at the
venue, just band members alone." Fuck it, lets get
booze.

Oklahoma city is like a fucking ghost town. The city
was deserted, there were hardly even any cars .
Anti-log suggested that maybe the city had been
evacuated and we didn't hear about it. It really
looked like it. You can see why old Timmothy Mcvey
chose Oklahoma city.. shit if we had some fertalizer
we could have gotten away with blowing up whatever the
hell we wanted to!

Anyway, after driving around and thinking about
stealing another fuel man sign from a gas station, we
found heaven. it's a food for less sized liquor
store!
hundreds of varieties of beer, liquor, and wine. but
get this, nothing is cold and the bitches don't sell
ice. Spacey-k chose Gin, Anti-log Amstel light, while
Le-frost and myself opted for $5 bottles of Merlot.
Then we's gots some ice down the road.

Valley Arena kicked off the show by playing a good set
while the other bands sat on their hands. it's kinda
funny seeing a bunch of bands watching other bands
because all they care about is their own group, ya
know? Ah well, we thought they were cool. hey we
might even get a kickball game together with them in
their hometown of long beach,,, LBC vs. HLP bitch!

After they played Spacey-K and I got extra bored and
decided to cash this bottle of codine cough syrup that
our friend Tina hooked me up with for my vicious cold.
taking it all at once should make the cold go away
faster right?? next thing you know we're rapping mike
jones all screwed and chopped laying in the grass. Be
on the look out for some new screwed and chopped 8-bit
tracks.

We missed the next two bands and WHAT? it's time to
play! we peeled our corpses off the ground and
started playing, the codine made jumped in the gang
and crunked sound better than ever. On the last song,
suck ma dick, the sound got really quiet. Joey gave
the tip earlier on to tour to keep the volume about
1/2 on the laptop on stage, that way if the music is
too quiet i can just bump it up real quick. i used
that trick and bumped it up all the way loud again
and finished the set to find out the cops were outside
with a noise complaint, oooops! The show continued
though..


Next up, The Mormons! who played a great tight set as
usual. Patrick found a big chair to crawl under and
invited people to sit on it. an asian girl finally
accepted, which is lucky for him considering the girth
of the corn fed white women roaming the plains of the
midwest. it'll be nice to see you california women
again ;1.

So yeah we leave to drink again and catch the last
group, The Stiletto Formal from Phoenix. They had a
good set and were nice people as well. Kinda mathy
with girls holding down the cello and
keyboards/percussion.


We were tore up and it was time to sleep. Joey hooked
up a place to stay with Brad from the band Streets of
Thieves, which I felt kinda bad for missing his band
and all. Anti-log was already passed out drunk in the
van. I was the designated crunk driver of the night.
we get to brads where i thrown up in the front yard.
many were due for a shower which hit the spot.
THANKS BRAD!
