Terror Tour 1/20/2007

We didn't factor in a time change, so we were actually going to be running late for load in. What do you do in this situation? You call in a ringer. Nick Jett took the wheel and we flew across icy highways, passed salt trucks, and all the other bands at extremely high speeds.

There was a severe ice storm in Springfield leaving 40% of the town without power. Trees were all over the road and thrown across front yards. Tons of houses had collapsed roofs.. An eerie sight for sure. With that going on, we didn't expect much from the show; however, we were definitely proved wrong. There was a great turnout for a place that Terror had never played.

The first 4 bands played and the kids were definitely into it. Terror started playing and once again kids were being thrown out for stagediving. Security was going on stage and pushing people off (which is normally the real reason kids get hurt). The soundguy gets onstage (which kind of defeats the purpose of having a soundguy) and starts doing the same thing. Eventually they get thrown off the stage by somebody and threaten to call the police and shut the show down if people didn't stop "bumrushing" the stage. I don't think that stagediving is a necessity to have a good hardcore show, but I do feel that hardcore can police its' own. For awhile it definitely looked like someone in the band would be arrested, but everything turned out ok. The club apologized and the kids were really excited about the energy of the show.

Afterwards, we went to Terror's favorite place…BUFFALO WILD WINGS! We held a show afterparty there and about 40 kids came out to enjoy fried and flavored chicken. How good is Asian Zing?

Misha didn't do anything too dumb on this day.
