After the action packed
set of Split Decision @ Hogie Barmichaels, I dragged the
five guys thru the parking lot and interrogated them under a street
light about life in general and
masturbation, which they willingly gave me information
about.

going on

album, how was that, working with him?
Matt: He's a really cool guy, a really
good producer...
Jim: He smells like cabbage
Tim: He smokes a lot of pot
Matt: Very small hands. He recorded
our last album, made it sound a little more
radio friendly. He did a really good job for us, we really like Brad a
lot, he's really cool. We have nothing
bad to say about him.
(We then notice security walking our way)
Jeremy: Go away!!! Leave us alone!!!
Donnie: We're smoking pot
DEAD: You guys have gone on tour a
couple times, when are you heading out again?
Jeremy: Tomorrow
Jim: Hopefully in October
Matt: In October we're supposed to go
with a band from this area, Mr. Firley.
DEAD: Where are you guys going to?
Jeremy: Arizona
Matt: San Francisco
(By that time security had reached our
little gathering, they tried to be threatening, but to no avail)
Security: Are you guys planning on
coming back to the bar?
All: Yeah
Security: Well you need to do it now,
otherwise you're not getting back in
Jeremy: Can't we finish our interview?
Security: First of all we cant have
anyone this far away from the bar, if Newport Police Department rolls in here
their gonna see all you guys over here and wonder why everybody's
standing out here
Jeremy: Cuz we're doing an interview
DEAD: We just have a couple more
questions
Matt: Like 30 seconds and we're outta
here
DEAD: We'll run
Security: Well, I'll be walking, so you
guys get there before me
Matt: Okay, we'll be there before you
DEAD: Okay, you guys recently played
with DI, what was that like?
All: Awesome
Jeremy: (To security) Hey man, walk
slower!!!!!
All: Laughter
DEAD: What's the bands biggest
accomplishment?
Donnie: Playing San Francisco
Jeremy: Playing with Mr. Firley
Matt: Our biggest accomplishment would
probably be.......Donnie's on his.......

hands)
Jeremy: I do
Jim: I think I do
Donnie: I don't
Jeremy: That would be me
Matt: I'm the only one that's single so
I know for sure that I masturbate
more than all these guys
Jeremy: I do for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner

All: Whoohoo!!!!!!!!!!!! (and they took
off running)
*Note to all, there are many references
to Mr. Firley which was my fault for
having Scott there with me, but it
sounds like he needs to stay the hell away
from Jeremy, I think he's in love!!!!!
