Do you see what happens, "Owl" readers? Do you see what happens when you take a van out of state?!?!
Well, maybe it isn't totally obvious from this picture...but when you take a van out of state for the weekend that is filled various dudes and end up playing rock shows with the likes of the ZZZZ's (second to last show ever), The City on Film, Painted Saints & more, it can add up to a good time. Although a weekend isn't enough time to allow for any occurences of what Chris Playboy used to call "tour gay", I'd say it was a total success. We also got a number of other small tasks done like taking pics for press & album use and eating massive amounts of unhealthy foods including a stop at Ed's favorite Milwaukee BBQ place, a Plaza burger with Nate, cereal* at Cleveland's in Madison (I don't think anyone had ever ordered cereal there before) and a fair amount of terrible gas station coffee. Along the way we learned a lot about each other, ourselves, one another and lastly ourselves and furthermore one another. We also decided that George Bush doesn't care about Sleep Out.
*actually a healthy food
You know I got a letter from a friend of mine
In Newcastle-Upon-a'Tyne the other day
He said to me "Eric I heard you've been havin' some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"
He said "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman back up here to Newcastle,
'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here
And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'
And because people around here don't go away stealin' each others loved ones away from one another,
Like they do down there in the smoke"
He also said in the letter that, ah,
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
And I believed every word he said, now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
One more thing he told me now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said to me babe
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said, all right, all right
So I'm sayin' to you who are listen'…
If you've been unlucky in love
And you've lost somebody love
And you hear a voice that comes to you in the middle of the night and says…
It says I want you to get on up…
Listen to me,
I want you to get on up and find yourself another one
If your havin' breakfast one morning and out from behind the teapot a little voice says,
Listen, Hey! I want you to get on up now
If your out in the mornin' on your job
and a voice come to you on your job and says,
Get up! Get Up!
And you know its not the foreman
Its a little voice that says…
You wanna get up and walk ...(?) women
Go on and find yourself somebody
That's what you'd better do.
Because I'll tell you one thing
There's one thing I found out
One thing I found out
Took me a long time to find it out
Yeah…it took me a long time to find out
But I,….think I got it now
Oh yeah..
One monkey don't stop no show
Yes, its true baby
One monkey don't stop no show
Don't let one monkey stop up your show
One monkey don't stop no show
One monkey don't stop no show

"Punker than your dog." - This punked out dog was spotted sitting in the back of a jeep on the corner of Irving and Hoyne. In addition to the stripe down the middle of its back, it was also wearing a spiked dog collar. Despite being a little disturbed about the fact that someone actually dyed their dog's fur, I have to admit, I found this to be HILARIOUS.
