Next Jam: Monday, October 20, 1997

• Just a thin mint-wafer, it won't make you explode. Well, maybe it is time to cut down on the junkfood. It is so easy to overdue the "kind" snacks when you go to a big supermarket, Halloween is just around the corner and you have a "spoc" crowd to please like Deadstein. Mild diabetic shocks to us all but we made it some how.
• I'm glad to report there were no mouse sightings. Scotty really set up a Mageneau Line of traps that sent the vermin scurrying for Poland. Before we get too comfortable next to the Seine, let's not forget what little moustache wearing rat crossed the so called uncrossable line.
• The best and most interesting thing that came out of the night was the discovery of "Rip Van Freakle." It's time FreakToast woke up and smelled the coffee. Catnaps at work are no way to deal with exhaustion, coffee is. It is the American way. Do you at least have a coaster on the conference table so you have a place to aim your drool?
• Kevin's Bostonian friend Donny, the "Hutch-Meister-General", showed up for a good deal of the first set.
• There were no other guests. Nothing was stirring, no even a mouse.
• You have to give Kevin credit for the the penis font and the sexiest Jerry to date. The sad thing is Jerry had larger breasts in real life. A real job for the "mansiere" or "bro."
• The tie-dye tapestry made it to its final resting place behind the drums. It looks good mounted there. It's good back there because it gives the illusion of the drummers having more hair.

• I thought the Foolish Heart-> Victim was uncomfortable. It was loud and not in a groove. I think establishing strong grooves was a weak point of the night. Like many songs throughout the night, there came and went verse by verse and there were always really freaky intense moments in each and every song. The end of the Victim had such a moment of cool wildness.
• Minglewood and Loser were pretty solid
• I sang the Sailor/Saint which is a true challenge but we bulled our way through it. If you check back though the previous weeks Sailor->Saint is the most blown off song. Kevin was making a point of this so we did it. It was like the Wide World of Sports, the trill of victory and you know the rest but it never fell off of it's skis.
• To Lay Me Down was surprising nice. It was cool calm, probably the best sounding song of the night.
• Three songs short of the list but "Kid Dine-O-Mat" was calling.

• We gave the Stardust Dine-O-Mat, from Time Square, another try. I swore off it after the August 26, 1997 fiasco but I thought it would make a good meal under the circumstances. I was to take Kevin's advice and go for the cheeseburger. I was going to resist the temptation of a succulent fish sandwich or the spinach salad. No one ever complained about those burgers before accept maybe for being a bit too beefy, but is that a complaint anyway?
• Lots of Rodeo Burgers were ordered. I unfortunately mistook the wing's thin and slippery hot sauce for the Rodeo burger's B-B-Q sauce and had a winged flavored, soggy, overbearing burger. At least I got a rare one. Poor Larry M. did the same thing with the sauce, too a lesser extent, but had a well done one. In either case, the burger had the taste of burgers you would get at the drive-in movie theater's snack bar. And that is not good. As previously mentioned, we had two orders of Spitfires, look it up on the menu if you want. They were a little tasty, but from a gross greasy perspective. The flavor was probably worse than the fact that some were undercooked.
• The one nice touch was the provision of cups of ice that worked with our warm cans of coke at brought.
• They messed up on Freakington's order and delivered it on the second trip. Actually it was the third trip cause the guy came first without the beeper and then trekked back to the Dine-O-Mat just to beep us. Coming back the second time without the Freakburger and some mashed potatoes resulted in the windfall for Rich Brotman's wife. The Dine-O-Mat threw in some mashed potatoes on the house and she's apparently a real potato head and loves when her man comes home with them.
• Desserts and other snacks included Drakes Iced Cupcakes, Hostess Cherry Pies, miniature no name cherry pies, pumpernickel sticks, pretzels, spree, skittle, nestle crunch and Scott also had stuff.
• As you can tell, It was a night to vomit.

2 cups of coffee so far and I can't seem to shake loose those mashed potatoes, if you know what I mean.

Free to play any night next week. It was next wed/thurs 10/29&30 that I can't play. So if that changes anything speak up. By the way, I don't know about you but someone in my household wishes we would go back to a set jam day!!! Boy, last night was plentiful in more ways than one. I thought most songs eventually got going but were slow in the process. I don't know, could it have anything to do with the amount of snack and food consumed???? I think the tapestry looks great behind the drum kits. It makes the tie dyed amps stand out better. Looking for comments please. Why does this dialog box that I'm typing in scroll instead of the way it should be. I never know how much Im typing???

I'm good Wed. or Thurs. I thought it was a good solid nite of kind punishment, the type we crave. Too much food, too little...if there was nothing to complain about it wouldn't be Deadstein. I like all we encompass. The music was average, I had trouble getting into it as well. No Spillboy, I missed him. Freakboy was there, but after the disappointment of finding out we were jamming Monday and that I couldn't go to see Ray Davies with him for his birthday, he spent the nite sulking in the corner. As it turns out, we are not playing Mon. and I will be accompanying Freakboy to his birthday Kink. A little morning-after anecdote: Of course I was in a fog and in pain when I woke-up, I was also running behind and just made my train. I usually sit in a car to the rear of the train, but because I just made it, I was in the front car. When I got to Penn Station I went up a different staircase which put me on the Amtrak side of Penn. Station. To my suprise as I was walking through to 7th Ave., what do I see? The brand new Penn Station location of Krispy Kreme donuts! Without thinking, I stopped and bought a big bag of deliciousness and iced coffee. Woo! That's how to cure a Deadstein hangover.

Just heard the Minglewood and Loser on the way home. They were both pretty impressive. I was shocked by my Minglewood lead when I heard. It sounded so legitimate, and it had heart and soul, an effects transition (nothing more than pumping up the juice) between the two verses that was quite exciting. If I do say so myself.

I know all you guys are movie afficianados so if any of you are sitting around doing nothing check out Comedy Central because one of my favorites is now on. Just One of the Guys. A cheerful lark through a high school sojourn with a tranvestite. Really funny

I'm sorry to be a pest but the Seach function is now working again. I just got a notice from the Hosting company that they just completed a major server upgrade, to Frontpage 98 extensions. Anyway, I decided to check out the seach and it now works. God bless someone.

Does anyone else see the ghost of Jer in the studio picture above? Saw Hunter last night @ Irving plaza. The guy is a genious as we all know. It was a nice surprise running into Mr. Brotman, and Mr. Spillboy at the show. Couldn't shake Freak boy from his base to come down and listen. Oh, the weather in the room last week was perfect for those who follow the weather update each week. Well its off to Pa. for the weekend with my drums for a weekend freakfest. Lets get a conformation posted on next weeks jam.

While I complimented Kevin on his XXX Rated Setlist, the more I look at it the sicker I get. I think Kevin is really demented for thinking of this one.

When people walk into my office, I feel I have to close my browser window so nobody can see that picture. I figure that can't be good, but somewhere, Kevy's grinning.
