Deaner's Tour Diary

Sitting in Boston, got a nice early show tonight for a change. The past couple of gigs have been really gnarly. First Burlington, which really rocked, and then last night in Northampton which was totally brown and downright bizzare. I love gigs like that. We basically played the kitchen sink for 3 hours, songs we never play, songs we don't know, etc. It was a blast, if you were there I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, although I'm not really sure what that means. I can't win with the food situation on tour. If I see another piece of domino's pizza I'm gonna shit blood. I don't consider myself to be a food snob, but if I see food that's disgusting I will always opt to just not eat anything instead. So far my steady diet of Red Bull, Beck's and Marlboros has been working for me. I got a stack of BT666 stickers in Philly and I've been tagging pretty much everything I come in contact with. Jim Woolsey told me has mailed out a few hundred so far--they look pretty bad ass. We're travelling in a couple of all black 15 passenger vans on this tour, no tour bus. It has a great look. Everywhere we go people are totally confused by what we are--the evil fbi-looking van pulls up and they see Dan (our tour manager and den mother) who is a gigantic brother with a cell phone, walkie talkie and a bunch of credentials around his neck, then they see the rest of us tired ass looking bunch of cruds and scumbags file out of the all black truck. We look like a bunch of assasins or something.
