This past weekend was a whirlwind of driving, rest stop garbage shopping, eating gator hush puppies, technical difficulties, and sci-fi audio book adventure. The tour's first stop was in Charlotte, NC where we met up with Buckmaster. The show was held in the back of a strip mall at a wedding reception hall. Though this sounds like the typical tour horror story where only 3 people come and had no idea beforehand that there would be music, a lot of people did come out. It was like some secret place to go where only the cool gay kids that look like chubby Andy Warhols with factory girl fag hags wearing silver tensil hair know about.

The next day we grabbed up Buckmaster to hit the road and make our way to Atlanta. Along the way we picked up this crazy trucker audio book called Deadlands. It was this crazy post apocalyptic story of these truck driver type characters making their way across the ruins of cities filled with taxidermy stuffed people, "gawdy" whores, and this guy called Trader who was sort of a wreck loose who was really into killing women. Somehow this overtook our lives in the van for the entire weekend.
When we got to Atlanta we dropped h1n1 off to visit his sister who lived there and went to Little Five Points. It was like a flea market of hippie boutiques. And though Matthew and I tried, we could not find a hackey sack.
The show that night was at The Masquerade with our awesome host, Preston Craig. The place filled up to almost 400 people and when Sirhan went on one of the turn tables stopped working. Luckily there was this great MC that kept the crowd hyped while Preston Craig dropped Surkin's White Knight II to buy some time. Unfortunately the turntable somehow actually exploded and Sirhan managed to work through the set on one turntable with help from Buckmaster and Le Castle Vania. And though it could have gone better, the show was pretty good overall with a good reception to h1n1's track 'BUG'.

The next day we were pretty destroyed and started the day out with gator hush puppies before hitting the road to meet up with Flufftronix in Bloomington, IN. There we made it to an uneventful house party (that supposedly got big after we left but fuck it... we were beat). The best part of the day was really when we discovered an amazing Dinosaur Park and saw this fat kid in front of a dollar store on one of those old quarter horse rides. Taking a picture of him was like sneaking a shot of a leopard in the wilderness. We were cautious and pretended to take a picture of the store but I don't think he would have minded either way.
