"Someone from the audience at Great American passed
up a joint and I got really stoned and completely froze.
Couldn't play guitar, keyboard, sing. Anything. I had to sit
criss-cross apple sauce 'til I could come back to my
senses. A bit later I asked the audience for something to
snack on (munchies), and lo and behold, someone
unexpectedly tossed up an entire box of crackers. Why
did someone bring an entire box of crackers to a show?
It was that kind of night. Later, there was a mysterious
person in our backstage in the corner with their back to
us playing with a yo-yo in an intense child-like way. I was
spooked. Slide 2 is the only photo I could find from that night. (There's not much remaining from 2004's internet, though I did stumble on a chaotic interview we did
backstage before the Noise Pop show)."
