Deaner's Tour Diary

again, we had another long ass drive on a show day. even though this is a really short tour, the schedule is pretty rough. 4 gigs in a row to start the tour, all with long drives on the show days. on top of it, aaron is recovering from pneumonia. i hadn't had any food for the last 2 days so i was excited to get some take-out after soundcheck. we ended up ordering from some mexican place and their crappy food tore up everyone's assholes and gave us all diarreha. anyway, as it turned out, this gig was a fuckin' blast. the band was really loose, pretty much lettin' it all hang out. we played l.m.l.y.p. for the first time in a couple years and almost on cue the stage just filled up with people, mostly young college girls and the usual loser dudes that are stupid enough to actually believe we want to share the stage with them. the bouncers there were very cool about it, some of them are members of p-funk's road crew so i guess they're used to dealing with people dancing onstage. after the gig i went to the room and passed out in a deep, dreamless black hole of sleep. had to get up in the morning and drive all the way to fuckin atlanta to do it again.
