Now, why the italics on the I?
This was the line up of the evening.
1. Some horribly generic punk band. (we were supposed to open by the way...)
2. Us (Jack Mystery)
3. Another absolutely atrocious punk band.
4. A good punk band (if you even remotely like punk. the singer is actually pretty good).
First off, we were told that we would be opening with a total of three bands INCLUDING us. Fine whatever, i dont mind playing second.
We got setup on-stage and all that mess. and let me tell ya this. When we first got to the club and went in, i could tell right from the first glance around the room that the current crowd would either hate us or think "eh.. they are alright". New age punks are no punks at all! Im not sure half of them knew what the word Anarchy means. You know, the punk motto?! Fine, whatever...
It has been almost a year since we last played. And the announcer over the PA said that. Which leads me to the most honest response to my music i have ever had.
Right before the last song.
Announcer: "Maybe they will come back and play in a year..."
Anonymous Moron: "Make it TWO!"
HAHAHAHA! now that is funny! Seriously...
Down to the dirty details -
The morons that didnt like us (which is fine by me, i would prefer if they did not show up to my shows:). Were actually in the next band after us!
This is a list of complaints that i have compiled that the Moron band had against us.
1. "The bass player isnt good, he thinks he is the shit."
2. "The singer isnt good, but he acts like he is."
3. "The drummer sucks, but he pretends to be good."
4. "The guitar player is flashy and he sucks"
What does that sound like? Hmm... JEALOUSY! oh, yeah.... that is what it was.
Here is a list of my complaints against them.
1. Over all, they were a bad band. Regurgitated dead, no, road kill punk. Not a single original moment to had with these fellows.
2. They were way to goofy on stage. They may as well have worn diapers and played kazoos...
Here is the one good thing they had going.
I HAVE HEARD WORSE! MUCH WORSE!
Do i sound mad? Or upset by any of this? Im not, actually i thought it was really funny. Like anyone i know gives a shit about a bitch ass regurgitated road kill punk band from Austin Tx.
I had fun...
By the way, it sounded like the bands we played with were all playing the same song over and over again. Really, it seriously did!

The Big-Screen
So, June 4th around 11 PM i was setting my gear up on stage and getting ready to play some music. On either side of the "Stage" was a Big-Screen TV. That may seem like an unimportant fact at the moment but... It does in-fact impact my thoughts on on Saturday night. First reason -
1. When i was setting up my pedals, i bashed my head into the bottom of the damn thing. Yeah, it was padded, but it still sucked.
2. The TVs were still on while we were playing! And there was nothing important on them either! No State-of-the-Union addresses, no nothing! Just commercials and a few little sports tid-bits (thats a funny word). whatever...
Now on to the positive stuff. I had a lot of fun, i didnt screw up too much, etc...
I thought we played well (hmm, why is that I in italics?).

Texas Science
Recently i was in a Taco Bell (i was hungry) with a friend. I had some food (1 Club Chalupa, 2 Soft Tacos). Then as we were leaving, he pointed out a school book that a student was reading. Its name on the cover big and bold - Texas Science.
Uh huh...
So, we figured here in Texas we have our own science! Oh yeah, so that means we get Texas math too! So in Texas, 4x6 = TEXAS! and North/South = Confederacy. South-North = We Win!
(texas science... what?)
Now, do you want to know more? Just do a google search for "Texas school science". and you will see quite a few dumb-ass things.
