DEVILCAKE + other bands
High Five
Friday August 1, 2003

A waste of a mohawk. The guitar pick harvest was plentiful. I went in with three picks and left with twelve. Including my new favorite pick, a white Tortex "sharp." The short end comes to a point and it gives unbelievable attack on the bass strings. Just like those metal picks, only this thing doesn't scratch up the body and break all the strings.

The set list was something like

Wienermobile
Marshmallow
Cereal And Beer
Hands Off My Oreos
I Can't Believe It's Not Satan
Chicken Nuggets Of Sin
Salad Bar Man (by request)
Fribble

A short practice with a few drunk dudes from the other bands listening in. Am I breaking a sweat for this shit? Fuck no.

Guarding MCB's car out back afterwards, I noticed a van with a U Haul trailer attached to it, indicating that one of the other bands is on tour. And I realized at that exact moment that if last night is what touring is like, then I never want to experience it. It was depressing enough playing to nobody in my hometown. I can't imagine doing that shit in Colorado or something.
