Buffalo, NY (Atom)
07/27/05 Cincinnati was an early show followed by us hanging out in our t-shirt booth for over an hour to sign stuff….We have been doing these randomly as scheduling permits. Other than that the day was over. Waking up late and an earlier set time led to a big meal and then…...beer. I know, lets go to Chicago!Chi-town, or the windy city (Noodles calls it the the “windy apple”) was really nowhere near where we played and I was surprised and stoked to see so many people there, they said it was like 25K or something….....right on! We went on kinda late again, with a signing in our tent a little bit before. The chants before we go on are always cool to hear, you guys were pretty amped up from the sound of it, and I was pretty excited today too…...Maybe that‘s why I broke so many damn sticks!!!!! Seriously out of control today…...I think 4 sticks before the first three songs (All I want, Come Out And Play, Can‘t Repeat) were over, then we played Genocide, Bad Habit (two more) and Head Around You (two more then too) before heading into the final three: Kids, Staring at The Sun (one here) and then Self Esteem( two more!!!!) Jeez…So as usual I toss out the broken bits to the crowd. Fun Show.
Minneapolis was next and we played kind of late at 7:30 in the PM. No signing today and we played right after Billy Idol….I guess he went kind of long and played extra songs (today was his last day) so we were playing at the same time….Nobody in the crowd seemed to mind though…....you guys were stoked from what I could tell! We played Session and Gotta Get Away and I really like both of those….I get to start ‘em! We took off really quick after we finished and headed to Buffalo.
DAY OFF!!!!!!!
I went to Niagara falls and then to a casino with my man Dan where we lost some cash. Fun though. Show day was much luckier….We played at about 4:30 and it started raining at about 6:00…Oh did I say raining? I mean POURING down tons of buckets of water…...There was lightning, there was thunder, there were flash floods…...Insane. The fact that we played Have you Ever and Head Around You was pretty much forgotten since tents and sound equipment were being blown over and struck by lightning!!!!! yikes.
I guess we‘ll go to Canada.
