the spazzz

Monday, May 5th
Greenville, North Carolina
The Spazzatorium Galleria!(all ages)

It was a long drive to Greenville, but we were excited about the Spazzz. We'd heard there had been attendance problems and Jeff didn't even want to do a show on a Monday, but I was able to convince him.

When we first got there we thought it was a cool place, but we were doubtful if anyone was going to show up. We went out and grabbed some pizza at a gas station and killed some time. Back at the Spazzz, Jeff was on the phone and people were starting to show up. By the time we played there were probably thirty people in and out of the venue.

This was probably our best show of the tour. Everything felt right. We were all spread out across the room, with people standing in between the three of us on stage and the rest of the band. There was some crazy energy happening, there was a guy on acid standing right in front of me, staring straight at me during part of the set, after the set he grabbed me and gave me a head rub. He had molly, but was too fucked up to deal with hooking anybody up with any. I could have pushed for it, but I didn't want to encroach on his trip. After we loaded out, we played an acoustic version of 'Paranoid Android' and 'Karma Police' before going to the after party.

The after party was sick. There were bottles and bongs everywhere; Greenville is a really fun place on a Monday. After a few hours of that, Jeff and a few of his friends took me and James to a diner. Sweet Baby James ate a double order of French toast, half of another guy's sandwich and passed out before the bill came, high style.
