What Dean Wean had to say about the recent Fort Lauderdale show

And I thought it was a good show...I guess I don't really know what I'm talking about when I praise a show and a member of the band says "you have to have gigs like this from time to time though...it was just one of those shows i'd rather not remember". Deaner's tour diary is available on the Ween website; click on tourdates for the full diary (no direct link is available, as it is a flash page. Sorry.)

Italics added by me for emphasis.

ft. lauderdale-we have 3 new crew guys on this tour that we've never met before and all 10 band members and roadies went out to eat the night before the show. typical south florida tourist restaurant. i had a lousy crispy grouper sandwich. the gig was pretty much a nightmare for me, the climate change from pennsylvania to south florida made the neck on my guitar warp like a banana. the thing was almost unplayable for the gig. the action is so high i can almost slide my fingers under the strings and the frets look like they're literally popping out of the fingerboard. the gig was plagued by feedback most of the time and aaron's amp blew up during the show. our old friend, bandmate, and label boss kramer came out to the show with his family and sat in on bass for captain fantasy so that was cool at least. you have to have gigs like this from time to time though, maybe we're lucky it's on the first night. everyone at the club was really cool to us and all but it was just one of those shows i'd rather not remember. the club served us chicken francaise for dinner and after the show the empty tray was sittin there with only the sauce left in it, which had coagulated from sitting out all night. it was about 2 inches of oil and solidified butter, chicken skin, and fat. me and one of the bouncers were trying to convince a girl to get down on all fours and lick the butter and fat while we pissed in her shoes but we struck out. kids just don't know how to have a good time anymore.

It is too bad they weren't able to pull that off; it would have been totally brown!

BOOGNISH!
