i forgot about the flailing about, or what you may call dancing, during kentucky gag order. you were on a chair. lucky you didn't fall off. or maybe you did and i just missed it.

i'm in for the midwest team if there is to be a drinking event in austin. i'm practicing right now.

Rhythmic flailing.

again, I have no recollection, and it IS amazing I didn't fall. Kermit said i was having a great ole'time, and the bartenders were all having a good laugh.

I only have one bruise on my left shin, I figure from Kermit dragging me around.

[stinkbait]

you austin pussies whish you had the alcoholism dexterity of the west coast boys and girls.

You girls gotta bring that up again? Fisher out lagged me and Connor one night. One night! Murphy was sucking his thumb under the blankies by midnight. Fish had no back. Although I remeber hanging out in the courtyard with you a couple nights. You do ok for a frail old man. None of it matters anyway if Clay shows up.

This appeared in todays' Star Tribune, which is the BIG Twin Cities daily paper. It's a write-up on the Kentucky Gag order show I 'attended'...

as a friend put it, "dave, you're the most famous drunk i know!"....

"You know you must be in a punk-rock bar when the band starts its set with the words, "This song goes out to the guy who vomited all over the men's room toilet." Thus began the wonderfully dingy return of punk geniuses Kentucky Gag Order at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis on Saturday, which was nearly sidelined when singer Dave Matters' needed to use selfsame toilet just before set time. Matters took one for the team. The concert, a quickly organized benefit for a friend of KGO's, also saw the Selby Tigers' Arzu Gokcen back in action with her new band, So Fox. Both groups sounded great, especially KGO, which hammered out its "Tryst of Kitty Hix" for an encore. Maybe that old horseracing myth about betting on the horse that dirties the track applies to punk bands, too." (Chris Riemenschneider)
