WORCESTER, MA 7/5/05
we stopped along the way quite a bit and switched several drivers. we
got through ohio, pennsylvania, and got into upstate new york. i
think a lot of people on the west coast have no idea that New York
State is rural and really pretty. We saw deer on the side of the
freeway and even stopped briefly in Amsterdam. It is a suprisingly
pretty state.
we eventually arrived at our Mass. destination and couldn’t believe
what we arrived to. we got to the house that josh from the mormons
grew up at and it is amazing. an unbelievable house on a bug ass lake
complete with boats, canoes, kyacks, and plenty of room to crash for
everyone.
since no one had any tour lovin, we flew in some affection. after
quickly checking the place out and checking in, it was off to boston
airport to pick up cute sisters. it was probably the best night of
sleep on tour....
we woke up in the morning and went swimming, boat riding, and canoe
tripping. after an exhasuting day on the lake, we headed in to
worcester and got to the Luck Dog Saloon.
It turns out the Rolling Stones did quite a bit of recording in Mass
and actually played on the very same stage that the Mormons and 8-bit
were about to play on. It had some making of a good night so we went
to the liquor store and got stocked up with beer and liquor for a blow
our parking lot party.
before the show started, robo-t and vince both vomited in the parking
lot. it was also josh’s brother tim’s 24th birthday so we got him a
cupcake and sang happy birthday. we couldn’t find any candles so we
had a bottle rocket birthday cake.
josh met up with several old friends from his home town and anti-log
got to see his old friend Lee from the indiana days. the drunk rolled
on until josh’s friends began to play in a band called ‘frequency needs
a mate’. we all knew Chris and Jay from a whirlwind visit they had in
LA a couple of years ago.
They tore into their set and brought the energy from a yawn to getting
some people off their asses. the fellas in the band will be hitting
several shows with us on the eastern leg of tour and we are exited to
get to see more of these guys. they are really cool guys and know how
to bring the rock..
8-bit went up next and were more aggressive than usual. This was
josh’s homecoming and a lot the people in the place were busy drinking
and talking instead of being there to check out some fresh live music.
8-bit made fun of the name of the town, called the crowd a bunch of fat
lazy bastards. One of the 8-bitters even got behind the back bar and
swigged off a whiskey bottle. Slowly, people got off their asses and
into the show and it was just in time for the mormons.
the mormons came out and josh’s homies moved up to the front of the
club. patrick started going nuts immediately and wrapped himself up in
the steps that led up to the stage. Joey was playing drums so hard
that his helmet wouldn’t stay on his head and it became more of a scarf
than a helmet.
Jimmy plays bass and the guy is a work horse. He doesnt complain, he
doesn’t get trashed, he just takes the stage every night and plays
flawlessly. The guy holds everything together and he does it modestly.
Jimmy is the silent backbone of the mormons.
Vince pulled it together after puking to play a super tight show.
Patrick was everywhere playing the better part of some songs outside
with the help of a wireless mike. Josh played through the most pain of
any show yet. His hand seems to be getting worse instead of better.
the show wound down and the owner and bouncer were all pissed off about
the 8-bit whiskey bottle incident. we were sure that a fight was going
to break out but nothing mmaterialized. instead we went across the
street for some bomb ass food.
we headed back to josh’s folks house and partied till we couldn’t take
it anymore. we knew we had a day off before heading to new york so
everyone got deep and heavy sleep.
so we had an amazing day in a beautiful house on a spectacularly clear
lake. it was slightly rainy but it was a welcome relief from the heat.
josh got to catch up with really cool friends of his and anti-log got
to catch up with an old friend of his.
vic and robo-t cooked up a mexican feast and casual beer drinking and
pot smoking was enjoyed by all. if we miss one thing aside from loved
ones, its tapatio hot sauce. when we moved to LA we never heard of
tapatio and now we cant eat anything without it.
when we get off this crazy trip we are gonna have a carne asada bbq to
end all bbq's at the house and we are going to do shots of tapatio.
goddamit. you ever tried to eat a taco with tabasco?? please.....
everyone caught up on laundry and sleep. everyone took showers and
just relaxed on a lazy day in paradise. josh has the coolest folks
ever. who the hell puts up 14 people for 3 days?? especially the gang
of douche bags that are rolling on this trip...
all in all, we had a nice relaxing break from the tour before we
finally landed in new york city.
