#Fausts alptraum safe driver#

Drive back to hotel is quick, and i'm way more confident since i already know how to get there. Jarda even got in the boat drinkin' a beer, i had to tell him not while i drive dude, not to be a lamer, but the last thing i need is to get pulled over w/ an open container in the van. czech guys all get pretty hammered, and it takes some time to get em' all together to get them into the van once we're loaded up. Load-out tonight takes a little longer too, when we left equery, the bags were just thrown in on top of the equipment, so macario needs a little time to find the right way to load the gear in. i loved that record, and know for a fact that it's where i got my surf style of drummin' from, i really liked stevenson's playing. I knew new alliance though, because one of my 1st was the descendents bonus fat that had the ride the wild e.p. My first introduction to sst was the blasting concept album, it has some intense bands on it, and that's how i first heard the meat puppets, saccharine trust, black flag, and minutemen. put out on their label new alliance from san pedro.

I tell him my first introduction to them was land speed record, which mike and d. Very nice folks at this gig, and while the czech guys are tearing down their gig, i talked w/ a local named Wim, really nice man who knew lots about music, especially punk rock from los angeles in the 80's also sst stuff, his favorite was husker du: maybe because it gives more room for clams to go a little less unnoticed, i dont' if that's a wack reason or not, but i feel a little less exposed, and i thought we did pretty good, considering no prac in a week, and on borrowed equipment. Really live sound on stage, which i like sometimes. i spent the time stretching, and pounding water, i don't wanna cramp up or pull a muscle the first night out. Pretty good turnout for the gig, and thankfully not too late either, it's rough waiting to play sometimes.my nerves will get to me. Tom comes along, and is much help w/ eyes and also in the roundabouts. This will be my first time driving in europe though, but i'm into it! macario says we gotta do an early check-in at the place we're sleepin' so i take it the opportunity to use this as a chance to get used to the clutch in the van.

I'm also asked if i can be designated driver for the evening, which is no problem, never a bad thing to not drink too much. We're back just in time to get the last of the chow, fresh indochina kinda meal w/ lots of fresh veggies, and some rice on the side.

Sound check is quick, and once we're done, tom and i go on a walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes the house kits can be a little beat up, but this one is a pretty together mapex yellow sparkle kit, and same size drums as i play at home, so it's pretty comfortable. Turns out the club has a drum kit in back though, so i decide to use that so our changeover will flow better, and the other band can stay set up behind us. We're all using the gear the czech brought w/ them. Grey skies on our way to utrecht, but once there we get some sun, but not much warmth to go w/ it. Also dirk for pickin' up me and watt and gettin' us to LAX. As it was enroute, her aunt rosio, got me prepped, and took out the temporary, and her aunt nena glued it in.totally freakin awesome ladies, i owe them big time. A few hours before we left to the airport, her cousin went and tracked down the fedex driver who was delivering my fake tooth to her aunt's dental office. First, my girl paloma, who gives me an endless amount of support w/ most anything i do, and her family as well. And actually, should thank give thanks to some other folks as well. Would like to thank Christine and Masai again for making us feel so welcome in their home. Most the gear is on the van, so after a quick breakfast, us missingmen and hyori throw in the few things we've brought, and head to the netherlands to get the 1st gig under our belt. we all end up only gettin' a couple hours of sleep. No dice, i hear tom and watt hangin out, so i get up to join 'em both downstairs. I was feeling tired after dinner, so i snuck away and tried to get some good rest. Great guys, got the chance to talk and get to know 'em over dinner. Even though we've been here in Equery for a few days trying to get use to the time shift, it's still been hard for me to get on a good sched, getting tired during the day, and wide awake at 4am The czech guys arrived about 6pm the night before we bail to start this tour. We're up about 8am this morning, not too much sleep last night.
