lol sorry, I passed out after smoking a bowl and eating a whole pizza. Snuggling the cat on the couch after those conditions made me immediately fall asleep
Touring with Cocoa can’t be too bad
Mark’s tour manager got choke slammed by venue security at the OKC show here (4) years ago. For no reason. Security at the Criterion are assholes.
I have heard this story from him. He’s still my guy for sure. Such a good TM to work for.
They were told they’d not be invited back. This is what venue security and a venue “bartender” told me two weeks later for Keller at the same venue . I inquired with the “bartender” why they weren’t selling alcohol at this show but did at UM.
Apparently there was $1000s in damages from burn holes in chairs in the balcony and other dumb shit.

Anyone want a signed (but dented) Mantis vinyl box with the cover art poster? Kind of don’t have the heart to throw it out but also do not need it. Vinyl not included.
Just let that collect dust in some weird show collection and let the kids find when you die. That’s what I’m doing, they will say “what was dad doing with all this useless artwork with eyes, elbows and this band that sucks”.

Lol exactly. Dad was having a blast ‘00-‘05 though.
Hearing stories about Joel being some kind of badass is kinda funny.
Deets
There’s a story on his Instagram about him freaking out about burning his hand. In the comments somebody mentioned that Joel chased someone out of the 1st Ave in 07.
I ran into Joel in a sex shop after a show once. Was fun and awkward. True story.

Gotta dig up the PT story of when Joel, KB, and Stasik printed a thread out (RIP that feature on PT) and confronted a fan in the alley outside of a venue who was saying shit about them / Joel’s girl. All were shirtless. I am choosing to believe it as true

Somebody mentioned it not too long ago. I only remember because it had to do with some chick that Joel was dating, and she was from a shithole town(Ottawa,Illinois)that happens to neighbor the shithole town that i live in.
The story about Stasik ruining the day of his biggest fan was pretty funny.
