I’m gearing up for my 2nd Otep review but it is too late tonight to start it. If I start it now, I’ll be up til 2am and I have a tee time tomorrow…
One nugget from the last Otep show. There were 4 bands. Between a couple of the bands I talked with the guy selling cokes at the “bar.” This was an all ages show, so no beer or booze.
They had the cokes in a fridge. Inside the fridge they had condiments like mayo, mustard etc. I told the freaky bartender dude I wanted the ketchup. He grabbed it and was going to start figuring out what to charge me until I told him I was kidding.
I realized at that point I recognized him from somewhere. You tend to remember freak dudes who have holes in their ear lobes the size of golf balls. I asked him where I knew him from. He told me his band recorded in my studio a few years earlier. I asked him what the name of his band was. He gazed at me in a bewildered state and then replied “I don’t remember.” This dude recognized me from a 1 night recording project 8 years earlier and he couldn’t even remember the name of his own band. And they say drugs don’t cause memory loss…
