Deaner's Tour Diary

we started with the night off, which is always nice. we went out with some friends and had some drinks and played pool, harmless fun....we ended up going to a barbecue at midnight and i was so hungry that i started picking at the hors d'ouerves that had probably been sitting out since that afternoon. next thing i know i'm in the garden puking my guts out and had to haul ass back to the hotel. i spent the rest of the night on the toilet with a trash can in my hands. diarreha and vomit simultaneously, food poisoning all the way. we had an in-store appearance scheduled for the next morning but i was still awake throwing up so we had to cancel it. by showtime my stomach had settled but i was sore all over and wiped out. the first show was cool and all but we had some major sound issues that were worked out by the second night, which was way more inspired and rowdy in my opinion. i have no recollection of what we played, but i always dig these 2 night stands cuz we get to play a lot more tunes. this place has that crazy dance floor that is mounted on some sort of ball bearing setup. the floor actually moves up and down and you can see it from the stage. overall, i dig this place even though we've played there like 4 or 5 times now.
