The date of the next jam is scheduled for Thursday, August 9, 2001, 7pm - 11pm. If it will be Caroll's or PSEUDO is the question.

There were problems galore but it worked out.  Larry's amp virtually died and my amp never came to life.  I didn't let it upset me and managed to go on, but playing a 35 watt lousy Brownsville combo amp with Deadstein is like jerking off your big toe.   It just ain't gonna spurt anything useful.  

Peter invited a guy name Al, or Big Al as he referred to himself as to play harmonica with us.  Although it looked like he should have been inventing Cherry Garcia iced cream instead playing harp he played and jammed and added something.  I liked the lead during the Devil.  He had a big box of harmonica's and a special mic but in the end he seemed more interested, or mesmerized, by Andy's hands than his own sound.  Who could blame'em? The Deadstein sound is a tough nut to crack through.  Besides Big Al, Tefillin Ken was the only other guest but he was only there for a little while.

It was the Trister birthday show.  He got a Hey Pocky Way as good as he get out of Deadstein.  Structurally, pretty tight.  

In the end, a weird disappointing night that seemed to knock Deadstein back a few steps.  The PSEUDO thing shows its cracks and gives all impressions of breaking down.  Except for the room where we jam, the rest of it had the look and feel of the Roman Coliseum with all its surrounding ruins.  It under construction and what does that mean.  There are rumors of The Wetlands moving there.  I hope they get a Wetlands Permit.  

Equipment is still and issue as both Larry's amps are currently Dead and not grateful and the drum issue is still ugly.  Nevertheless, five people listened throughout the whole night on Real Audio (without promo) and when we played it was good.  That Playing Uncle Johns was great and except for Dave's colossus misadventure, the move back was pretty easy.  To be able to pull up to that place like that is pretty nice.  There is nothing worse than that long elevator ride with 4 other hot sweaty bodies.  That alone can give you nightmares.  

The Deadstein Story and where it goes is still a story with out an ending. so stay tuned.
