Show #26: Off The Alley, Homewood

Like the previous show, no one was there although there were a few sound men and workers around, as well as some girlfriends. This place is really far — about as far as Rockford. It’s a juice bar which is cool because they had the obscure Snapple Hydros line. I bought a few and they were great. I nearly broke my neck and back at this show thrashing so hard. They made us wear bracelets to show that we were in the band which was ironic since no one showed up and we didn’t even need them. Me and Hilger wore ours for a while after that — a few months. The Perps were great and they gave us all CD’s and we gave them ours. Out back where we parked there were back doors to all the businesses next door. There was some kind of meeting going on next door and when it convened they stood out there and they did some kind of weird corporate inspirational chant/cheer. We all laughed and cheered them on and they loved it. As usual, Paul from the Perps was drinking vodka out of a Snapple bottle. He cracked the bottle and we tried to duct tape it but it didn’t work. I didn’t know there was vodka in there and when we realized the tape wasn’t holding, I kept telling him to just pound the whole thing cause it was leaking everywhere. I didn’t really understand why he was so concerned and why he couldn’t just pound the whole thing. He told me it was mixed with vodka and I felt pretty dumb.
