EVERCLEAR TOUR APRIL 2001
Wednesday April 25th 2001 from Freaky

Hangin out on the bus right now waiting to leave. Yes, bus. We got ourselves a killer tour bus for this road trip. The crew is throwing the gear on and we should be heading out any minute. Looks to be like about a 16 hour trip. More later when I get my shit sorted on the bus.

All right. On the road. Got Charlie's Angels crankin' on the DVD player rockin', just kickin back chillin' with some of Kilo's killer party favors. Life is good. Not too much to report at this point so I'll check back with you when something worth while happens.

Kilo and Stressman, our stage manager, stayed up drinking until 6am. Everybody died pretty early. I took a couch in the back of bus and slept like a baby. Beats the hell out of the van! At any rate, we're now sitting just outside Cleveland broken down. Somethings wrong with the bus and the owner/driver, Zeke, is out working on it now, with the assistance of Kilo's drum tech, Duff. I can smell ether as I sit here and type this. I think I'm catching a buzz. We were playing poker at the time it died and now everyone's just talking and eating sunflower seeds. (The Official Flipp snack of this tour.) A cop just came and went and thank God he didn't want to search the bus. Chia went and hid his stash outside in the field we're parked next to. So now we wait. I guess we're waiting for somebody to come from Cleveland. Hopefully it won't be too long, but whatever. Hanging out on a tour bus with your buds, whether we're moving or not, does not suck. More later.

Hey all,
We're in PA right now. The bus got fixed, thank God. The show last night in WV was great. The crowd loved us and and Eveclear guys did too. We met everyone just before our show and they were super cool. Everyone wishes the tour was longer and we only just finished the first show. Should be a really fun next 4 days. The weather is beautiful and we're havin' a blast. We've been getting some great photos but I can't get them online yet. We need to get a connector and can't find a Best Buy or anything. Hopefully I'll get it worked out today or tomorrow so check back soon. The guys all say hi! Talk soon.

Here we are in York PA. This whole trip has been a blur. In the bus, out into a hotel then the venues, then the bus then the hotel etc... So if excuse me if my dates and places are out of whack.

The Everclear guys have been more than cool. Including their crew. So a big hats off and thanks to them! Art has watched every show from the side of the stage. He's been plugging the band during their set everynight. He wore a Flipp shirt on stage last night. Very cool!

Our manager Bill was out with us for the first 2 shows and after the second show, we all went to the bar at our hotel and Mike and Craig from Everclear came as well and we had a blast! Still can't believe the manager didn't kick us out. Hats off to her and if she's reading this, sorry about smashing the plastic wedding cake with a cue ball. I swear, I thought it was real! (ouch!)

Last night we hung out at some little bar called McCoy's. The Mayfield 4 guys showed up. They are super cool as well. Great guys and cool band. This line up of bands is really cool. Les Pauls and Marshalls, Kustoms, and most importantly, NO DJS!!! Just a cool ass rock & roll show. Everclear kicks ass every damn night!!!

The baseball team at the college we played at last night were really cool. They just had a game and had a bench clearing brawl and they're number one in their division. So we talked them into letting us wear their uniforms for our set. We had it all planned out and I was gonna play " Take me out to the ballgame" during my jetpack solo. Then their manager found out and the head of the sports department or some shit, said we couldn't wear the outfits. Suck! No fun!

Last night's show was very cool except for my jetpack didn't work. First time ever! So I stood up there lookin like a tool with no fireworks. DOH!

Still haven't been able to get the connector I need to post photos. Worst case scenario, I'll have them all up on Wed or Thurs when we get back. Got some really great shots and video too!

Gotta run. I'll try to write more as I remember it. My brain is kinda running on low battery power if you know what I mean. All the guys send love and middle fingers!
