there were rumors........

Thursday april 6 tabercrackle Atlanta, ga
Last show sans franz, and a wee bit hungover in the morgen. I hit up the restaurant next to the hotel for a fantastic lunch of mussels and Caesar salad,then back to the highland for the paper work thing. Unfortunately we have a show today replete with the prehistoric hospitality or lack thereof. What can you say to these local yokels. For my money , if you have to say it, there is no point. Suffice to say that with the exception of the crib dogs kicking some serious ass, I see very little of the joint. I eat a buffalo steak at ted/s Montana steak house with a glass of j lohr central coast cab. Today will be a day of self indulgence. I drop everyone back to the hotel, push more paper , and then go off to meet the twins at the Clermont. I can see that they are seriously shaken by the creepiness of the Clermont. I jump right in, and ry gets in the spirit. Pretty soon they are all at it, what with the pbr, the move on dot org, the clackety clack, and the draft Guinness. In spite of it all, we close the place. Mustn/t let the side down, like.
Friday april 8 duke university Cameron stadium
A murderous drive from Atlanta. I am too cream crackered for this scheisse, but slog on. We stop for a hardees somewheres in south cackalackie and hammer down. Check into the crab shack du jour, and scoot over to the alcohol frei coach k burg. Spring has sprung in durham, nc. That and the topic of the lacrosse gang rape extravaganza. Nice work with lots of evidence to boot. I am a little concerned that the brothers jarman might slip with some form of indiscretion, but hey, throw caution to the wind. No soundcheck again as it is back to a three band bill. We have to bring our own booze in, and the place sounds like shit, but hey, there is a chair in our dressing room that Christian laetner probably tossed some salad on. Blue devil basketball, and enough chilfs around for har mar to clog the plumbing in the Cameron stadium. Very talented, indeed.
The cribs get it going about 30 seconds after doors and fight through the beerbonged apathy of the early crowd. In the end, they win em over. I miss half the set dealing with Canadian importation scheisse, but am impressed with the crowd reaction in the end. We set a load out record and get the flock out before we are lacrossed. Everyone is in bed by 11pm.
