tour 3.11
Matt - The best times are when the club owners/managers let us crash in the club. You don’t have to make friends and get pity from some stranger who let’s you crash at there house. This is one of those times. After the basketball, we had a whole day to kill and Chris let us crash at Barristers. It was great and we behaved ourselves and only drank a little extra booze from behind the bar.
Zeph - Barristers moved to a place that had once been the Antennae Club and was right next door to a Piggly-Wiggly. They let us sleep there. We stuffed T-shirts in the pool table and watched Larry Sanders. At the show, Roman picked this drunk woman out of the ‘crowd’ and had her buying him drinks. Then he’s in the middle of an empty dance floor dancing with her in front of a terrible band from Louisiana with a clog-dancing singer that still couldn’t save them. He was whining about getting some more of his clogs in the monitors on stage. We borrowed their bass rig.
Carol - Memphis was really funny becuz of the “lizard lady”. we woke up and started answering the calls to the club. they were mostly kids calling up to find out who was playing. we said chevy heston and that they’re awesome so they should come down. we stuffed the holes with socks and played more pool and drank and took a nap. played with mt. shasta and blacula or something from new orleans.
i saw roman talking to this woman at the bar. she looked pretty from the back but once she turned around i realized that her face was all disfigured. roman introduced her to us and said it was her birthday. we were all hanging out and having a good time. then all of sudden she pulled me into the bathroom and started sobbing. i was totally confused and listened to her story which was that it was her birthday, she came down here to celebrate, she bought roman few beers and now she was upset becuz he wasn’t paying a whole lot of attention to her any more. so basically she wanted her beer back. i was stumped. i told roman what she told me and that’s when the night turned into ‘saturday night fever.’ roman being mr. suave that he is coerced the lizard lady to the dance floor and started dancing like a maniac to mt. shasta’s music and got the lead singer to wish her happy birthday and i think he even bought her a beer. eventually she forgot all about her problems and everybody was happy. roman was the lizard king and she the lizard lady.
