All in all, very > straightforward. At least that's how I get there. :) You'll be lucky to get to the beach by the encore if you go that way. Everyone jokes that the LIE is the world's longest parking lot. Nobody jokes about the Cross Bronx, tho... because it *is*, and it's not funny. If you're coming from Jersey, take the Outerbridge Crossing, through Staten Island, over the Verrazano Bridge, and take the Belt to the Southern State. And you don't need to take the Wantagh. Take the Meadowbrook south from the SSP. Once you get over the bridge (past the toll plaza -- and no, you don't have to pay), stay in your right hand lane, and take the first right. This loops you around 360 degrees, and puts you on a road that literally drives right into the beach parking lot. If you're in northern NJ, of course, then the Outerbridge might be out of your way. Take the Lincoln Tunnel, and fight your way across midtown to the Midtown Tunnel or the 59th Street Bridge. It sounds dumb, but you'll marinate on the Cross Bronx.

"People Mover" is a track from the group=92s forthcoming al= bum, Collide.

Full on the Mouth, the first act to be signed by Pioneer Music Group, has been together eight years.

I just want to agree with all the great things that are being said about the Chicago show. The only somewhat undesirable part of the night was trying to find the Vic once we got into town. > Finally, security told us we had to go wait outside since we didn't have > our passes yet, so we rejoined Matt S, Derek, Dale "this is my first DT > show" Newbury and everyone else in the line. Hey hey hey, come on, be nice :). I did see a JP/DS clinic about a year ago. That should count for something :). I do feel kinda bad, though, since I've been on the jam about 4 years or so and never saw a real show until last Wed. > Chris Ptacek already covered FOTM's performance - all I'll say is give > these guys a fair chance before making a judgment call - for the most part > (from the reviews I skimmed from the 'Jam) the overall impression I had > gotten was that FOTM sucked - and they don't. I'll agree with this. I hadn't heard anything by them prior to seeing them that night, so I really didn't know what to expect. I just heard they sucked. I, not being one to take people's comments too seriously, gave them a fair chance and kinda dug their groove. I really like dtheir bassist's tone, too. Nice and chunky :). > The string of cover-teasers they did - Freebird, Hot for Teacher, > The Trooper, YYZ and I think a PF track were very cool - before they > did the Trooper and YYZ - (remember Mattymo - it's pronounced "why > why zed" not "why why zee" Yeah, I remember singing along with The Trooper after they finished that opening riff :). The dude that was with me at the show (that ended up sitting down and losing his spot up front) said someone asked what that was when they played it and about 20 people around yelled "Maiden!" :) > (Heh - guess we proved that first secruity guard wrong). The moral of the > story is this: Chris Ptacek is a cool and nice guy in person - just don't > argue with him in email!! :) :) :) Hehe, yeah, I think I remember him introducing himself as "the asshole" when I first walked up outside :).

Hey hey, come one :). I would've stayed, but I had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep the night before (drove a few hours to see a friend play at a kickass blues bar in Columbia, MO and got home at 5am, then got up and left for Chicago :). I'll make it up to ya next time :). > Thanks man, between the explosives and my carelessness with a lit > cigarette, We now have a convertible!

Toodles! I'll do my damndest to make that show, even though it'll be a LONG ass ride from here :). I must say I was kinda jealous of those guys that parked their fat motorcycles right in front of the place. Dale R.

Pre-show: We arrived around 2:30 in front of the Vic and met Matt Stanich ( I know I'm spelling that wrong) Scott "Really, I'm 26!" Cook, and several other Jammers and non-Jammers. As we waited, the line Nazi (no line for you!) would come out and tell us to form a line because "it was disturbing the people who lived in the area".. Um, sure. The tour bus arrived around 4:30, and Scott weaseled his way into sound check, while the rest of us tried to avoid some mysterious liquid that started leaking thru the overhang. Oh, and more people arrived, including Al and Co. from Minnesota and Todd "Has anyone told you you look like Geoff Tate?" and his charming but sunburnt lady companion from Iowa. (if I get names wrong, feel free to pummel me) Mads went over to the ticket window to see if we were on the guest list or not. Derek walked by, and they eloped to Hawaii while I stood in line screaming obscenities. Well, maybe. Doors opened at 6:30, and I was roughly abused and my purse and personal possessions were molested by the Amazonian Frisk Nazi (thanks to Al for the Amazonian reference) which, in effect, put me in a rather bad mood for the evening. Pulling another feat of weaseldom, Scott got a photo pass. :) The show: Um...wow! Full on the Mouth was quite impressive. We were at the rail for the whole show, and those guys have a lot of energy and a lot of presence. True, they were *not* shred, but who wants to hear people trying to upstage the headlining band? Instead, they had some good grooves, which warmed the crowd up. During the second or third song, the singer (who occasionally made faces like a displeased pug) stood on the rail and presented his belly for me to tickle, but I declined. Later, he decided to shake my hand, which would normally be fine, except he forgot the fact that short people have short arms, and nearly divested me of my short left arm. DT came on, yadda yadda yadda, it fragged my brain. Derek changed shirts at least three times during the set. Mads started beating me with his arms whenever a song with a beat came on, so when he caught a Portnoy drumstick, he gave it to me, in a vague effort to appease this angry redhead. :) We tossed our banner on stage when Mike was doing the audience-drum thang, but he didn't see it, so one of the roadies grabbed it. Aftershow: Well, having an after show pass is not as incredible as it's cracked up to be. Derek came out, made a selection of wine and "woman" for the evening, and after signing stuff and chatting, left. Mike and Marlene came out and Mike signed some stuff and chatted for a while. Both of them are *incredibly* cool, and whoever thought Derek was an asshole must have caught him on a really bad night. The other guys had gone out to the bus, so by the time we ran outside, Jimmy "the cheese" Labrie was already on the bus (but Mads thinks James now resembles Bruce Campbell). Myung managed to get inside the bus just as we got near it. Petrucci was attempting an Abby Road-esque escape across the busy Chicago street with a large crowd hampering his progress, so he'd walk maybe 2 steps before stopping to sign something else. But, as they had an early flight to catch (you greedy CA folk!) they all had to pile on the bus to leave. We're still not quite sure what happened to Derek... At that time, it was 1 AM, and all the good Chicago pizza places were closed, so we happened upon "the Golden Apple 24-hour Restaurant" and ate some food products there. Such as Al's fire-hazard roast turkey. :) Thanks to all the jammers I met, especially the handful that came to dinner with us. Oh, and the video card works. :) All in all, it was a kick-ass night. Hopefully, Scott will find someone with a scanner *hint* and delight us with pictures of sweaty, crammed Jammers. :) -Maddy (also commonly known as Margaret, Ptacek's gf, etc) "Hey, who's your favorite drummer??

Check out Spectre Within or Night on Brocken. Now, you're asking, "Okay, but where does 'Steve' come into play?" That's actually a dedication to Stevie Ray Vaughn.
