--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok this was the last Have Nots show. We all had just had enough and you get to a point were you have to say, "Are we having fun or should we be a business". Well, I always said that when I stopped having a good time it was over and the good time was over. Plus with Gerg and Paul in SlipKnot there was always a problem with finding time to practice. We hit the stage and stumbled through our set and ended with Paul breaking his guitar (and a piece cuttin open my leg) and Greg pulling me into his drum set. Ugly and over.
The Blanks hit the stage next. This is a band that really doesn't do a hell of a lot for me live. Their records are a great deal better. this may be due in a large part playing really drunk. To add to the mess it was their guitarist birthday. She ended up passed out on the dressing room stairs. As if there wasn't a big enough mess the Q Punx throw confetti all over the stage. It was nice to see Sue Blank again, she's so cute and nice.
The Quincy Punx were fighting the whole day. Something about someone hitting someones tattoo but the tension of the tour was really getting to them. They annouced this would be their last show and to not blink cause you'd miss it. They played about 3 songs and I went to the bathroom and when I came back all their equipment was in piles all over the stage.
The late show was a bit of a fuzz. I remember doing shots with the Quincy Punx and Bob trying to kiss me on the mouth. It was ugly. I can't for the life of me remember anything about UFOFU or the Tomorrow people but I do remember watching some of Bobgoblins set. I had seen them before and they are a power pop band with a hip stage set up. They all wear coveralls (sound familiar? SlipKnot?) and have all these TVs. I remember watching them and thinking that it looked like they were playing on the beach cause the confetti looked like sand.
