I was at Ziggys after this show. The boys were all hanging out. Trey played with Viperhouse for pretty much their entire second set. I lived in Charleston SC and was going to school there when my pop called me and had some bad news about my mom and how her battle with cancer was getting worse. I decided to come home right before the thanksgiving holiday for good.

Two of my buddies from NY came down and got me and we did the Greenville SC ->2 nights Hampton on the way back to NY. This night, and pretty much the whole ride home, was such a great memory at a time when I needed great memories the most. I got to say thank you to Trey after he was done playing with viperhouse which is something I’ve always wanted to do.

But no, saying thank you to Trey, thats the something I always wanted to do that I was getting at.

cool, those were the same shows i went to that fall. this was the first time i had seen the curtain, rock and roll, and 2001 live.

my buddy who was with me had never been to a show and he loves the beatles so the “something” was cool. been caught stealing was great and along with the YEM encore this was a great show.

I was living in Raleigh at the time and made the drive out after work so we were a little pressed for time. Parked, took our tabs real quick, and started charging down the sidewalk towards the venue. It was cold and windy and I’m worried we’re gonna miss the opener, so I’m walking fast with my head down a little, my girl in tow right behind me. All of a sudden there’s a sign post right in front of me, no sign on it, just the post. I barely saw it and just managed to evade it with a little sidestep. As I’m engaged in this matrix-like dodge, it occurs to me that I’ve set a really nasty trap for the person behind me but it was too late. She smacked right into it face first. I swear it look like something out of a cartoon. She staggered back a little and a few people stopped to see if she was OK. Some mildly bloodied scrapes on forehead, cheek, and chin (perhaps a minor concussion) but she lived…and we made the opener!

One of my most vivid memories of a pre-show experience, although hers is a little foggy.
