Richie Donovan's Perspective

January 15, 1997: YSU Kilcawley Pub

Well, we decided to have Flaming Dick & Hot Dog open up for us. They were absolutely wonderful with the way they dazzled and bewildered the audience with their flair and knack for the obscure.

We went on next. This show kind of sucked for some reason. There were "extremely dangerous driving conditions" warnings announced all day over the air waves, the sound was really weird, and we didn't have any energy this time around which drastically altered our overall performance.

In retrospect, the show wasn't a complete disaster, but we know we can "turn this mutha out" a thousand times better than that.

THE KILCAWLEY PUB DISAPPOINTMENT.

Our show on January 15th seemed a little superficial. It started well with the opening band, Flaming Dick and Hot Dog, who had just returned from an extremely successful Malaysian tour. However, when we took the stage, it seemed that our energy levels were a couple quarts too low, and we plodded through the songs, rather than attacking them. I don't know if the audience noticed, but we delivered a subpar performance, which I hope won't be repeated. On the other hand, I would like to play at Youngstown State again.

YSU Another night on the prowl in Ytown.

Tonight was a special night. It was the first time we rocked on Youngstown State's campus, as well as a celebration of the triumphant return of our dear friends Flaming Dick and Hot Dog. I have to tell you guys. FLAMING DICK AND HOT DOG rock my world.

Flaming Dick, if you're out there, I love you man! Hope all is well in Guam. We played pretty well. The sound was really wierd and I got an incredible migraine mid set. Lack of sleep and great quanitities of caffeine and nicotine have a tendency to do that to me. My head hurt, but I want to thank everyone who came out in the ice storm. If I didn't thank you personally after the show, please accuse me of being a stuck up rock star.
