heh so I went out to see CoF again last night... and it was a bit of chaos...
finding dave/sarah was no easy task in the cold weather... esp without a celphone... so after waiting a bit anderson (my tour driver/now tour manager) ran into them in walking around and we all met up at a sushi place called "japan yum yum" i think it was...
we make fun of the death still wiggling in daves bowl and bs for a good hour plus about summer plans (and if all goes well, we'll be seeing them this summer on the tour we're probably going on as well) and fanagle from there...
the show again was great, way better mix than the previous night and also a bit less intoxicating as well...
the 69 eyes still arent musically my scene but I get what they are doing and appreciate it for waht it is...
but im still all about 3 inches of blood hahaha...
and im wondering when cradles stage setup is finally going to arrive heh...
anyway I flyer for about 30 mins in the f'n cold waiting for bus call and im sure i'll be sick this weekend to show for it :p
but we roll back to the busses to catch dave before heading out and see that regardless of the area of parking the fans still line up... but as cool as they are dave, dani, paul all come out and sign shit for the fans...
suprsied to see dani more so, but im really more so appreciative of their personalities that they give a fuck about the fans than most bands who are (albeit i understand why) annoyed and just dont come out...
anyway, I'm off to portland to catch them there and in SF (while running into Rob Rotten along the way) so the small 4-5 days im spending on the west coast should be an amazing drunken fiasco...
more pics when I get them... but in case you missed my first post... here it is again:
so tonight was... interesting...
after trying to hit up dave as I've been talking to him for the past few months again I go to the cradle show in CLE for the night...
supposing to text/call him I get no answer but go anyway and get in... so i just get a ticket and roll in... getting ready to piss in his email box when I get home...
the show was reallllly good... however seeing that cradle had plants all along their stage set, led me to believe that some death metal gardener would come out and water their shit and help it grow... or maybe that the tour was sponsored by miracle-gro... (dave mentioned later that all of their props have not yet shown up so it will make sense in future shows heh)...
anyway, 3 inches of blood is amazing (well everyone else i was with hated it, but I was all about it), but then again I like metal/core guitars and hair metal vocals... so it worked for me :p
69 eyes wasn't 100% in my scene but after meeting the guys I was actually more into hearing their stuff again... but its not realllllly my deal but the guys are actually nice (and drinkers at that) so it was cool to know a bit more about them before really taking final judgement...
the after show however was funny...
I come home after cradles set and see sarah online... I msg her harassing her about her geekdom within 45 mins of the set finishing and she tells me to go meet dave at the local bar...
well as im 10 mins away, im all over it and run over there... and thats when it became retarded...
so i head to some local tavern and we meet up with some of the cradle crew and 69eyes crew...
dave is instantly open arms and apologetic as it seems modern technology failed us and I was actually on the list, but still paid to get in... and that i actaully ragged them later was bonus hahaha...
one bar and 4 drinks later its last call and we stumble to the bus...
the guys in 69 eyes are hammered pretty much after a bunch of rum, vodka, whatever else was passed around the bus and dave and I are just laughing at the side show....
then someone decides "what a great idea, lets do shots in our eye" (as pictured below)...
not sure who thought this up... and why pretty much most of the people on the bus did this... but I wasn't having it and just laughed my ass off at their red eyes as they were in pain...
what you do is take a bottle of liquor... put it to your eye... pull it back... and then pull forward... then you open your eye and let it burn...
again, not sure of the rocket scientest behind this... but I wasn't having it hahaha...
anyway the drunken bus party rages... dave tells me i have open entry for the whole tour... which to me is a total loaded gun... as I can now come to any show, anywhere on the tour and just roll... so I'm all about seeing more of the tour now...
so im totally pumped to see ** shows on the tour now... but due to budget and my "other woman" chaining me to the desk... im kinda fucked to do so :p
but anyway, past all that gloating BS... heres a few pics from buscall
random drunken fun... (im in the decendents hat on the right)
this is what "whiskey eye" really comes from...
and this is the first time I've seen this in a tour bus bathroom
more updates later as I'm looking to hit the cbus show tomorrow... that is if whatever I ingested doesn't give me a total feel like shit hangover heh...
