living within the spoon

entry one:
the day of our first show. some bad moods had pushed some to the brink of insanity, but everyone was still upbeat for the show. drummernick, being the good man he was raised to be, opted to transport fangunther and several other colleagues to the show. bassistdean, guitaristzack, and singerchad remained at drummer nick's along with girlfriendjustine and freindmarissa. mothermehalik offered them food as she does so often. in a hurry drummernick struck another vehicle, in route to return home. the other vehicle was being piloted by one
entry two:
a meeting occured between drummernick, bassistdean, and singerchad in drummernick's basement. the meeting was about the website. upon signing on to america online, and entering the band's webpage the three men were amazed. the counter for webpage visitors was at four hundred and twenty. the date was april twentieth, year two thousand and two.
entry three:
archbishop wood's talent show. the goal was to get on stage and throw down a rocking' rendition of arc arsenal, gurilla style. all the proper components were in place and the plan wasabout to go down until a certain assistant principle cut the show off short. a revolution ensued. guitaristzack ran to his instrument as did drummernick, and replacementbassistjimmyD. they began to belt the song out like never before. the crowd goes crazy, people run on stage. chaos continued for a good 15 minutes. the man in charge ran back stage to where 3/4 of the spoon were throwing down and tryed to stop it. but he just stood and watched. the guitar and bass were cut. but drummernick poured forth the anry beats right in his face. once the cause was lost drummernick finished the song, and we were proclaimed gods by all who had begotten the incedent.
entry four:
show at frosty's saloon. half way through the set emotions are running at extremly high octane levels. singerchad strips down to only his corteroys, but to achieve maximum chill factor he spills water over his head. this combined with already spilt liquids on the ground spell danger. the microphone cord is dipped slightly in one of the spills. singer chad notices this and at first there are no repercutions. then all through the last 4 songs singerchad notices extreme electrical impulse traveling through the mic into his hand and through out his body. the problem was solved when fangunther discovered that a sock could be used to buffer the waves. that is why gunther is lord of all roadies. the date was june fourteenth, year two thousand and two
entry five:
after the recent construction of a halfpipe at the towarnicki residence, it was decided that there would be a spoon show placed upon it. we bring all the gear and the PA from drummernick's home and set it up and begin to warm up. the time is seven o'clock. at seven-thirty three policemen are standing at the front door, while mothertowarnicki tries to persuade them. an agreement was reached and we were to play until nine or nin thirty. so we played louder than ever until ten o'clock and the neighborhood ate it up while they sat and watched survivor being drowned out by the spoon, from the comfort of their own living room.
entry six:
at a recent blues festival in hickville n.j. we rocked the back country folks right out of their boots. at times it seemed we attracted a larger crowd then the mainstage. we probably won't be invited back due to the mental scars and popped ear drums that we bestowed upon the manager of the event. a man with long hair that doesn't enjoy intense music? it just doesn't add up. but the spoon rages on.
entry seven:
October 5, 2002- Battle Of The Bands at the TLA- We arrived on South St. very early that Sunday morning (minus singerchad who had a prior commitment to football and becoming royalty) in high spirits and learned that our time slot would be around 8 PM. We were psyched, this was gonna be a big show. We spent most of that day weaving in out and out of various stores and sleeping on park benches (practice makes perfect). Zack, Nick, Dean, and the Spoon's #1 roadie who's helped us through more than we can even say, Kiera, spent the day preparing for what lie ahead. At about 5:30, singerchad arrived in the city and joined us to prepare for what was to be our biggest show yet. 7:30 rolled around, and we were waiting in the wings on the side of the stage with our equipment ready. The band before us finished with their last note of skull-abusing death metal and we knew it was our turn. We walked out onto the stage and began setting up, our nerves jittery, ready to play the best fucking show ever. Nick busted out the solo that begins
entry eight:
November 9, 2002- Lenape Middle School- At a recent show at lenape valley middle school we were scheduled to play at 6:45. 6:45 turned into 7:15, then 7:45 reared it's ugly head, and then this head spit out the words "Not until 8:45". As it was, we didnt even go on til after 9 and then some disgruntled show "organizers" started pulling our equipment off the stage in the middle of a song. At this point a debacle ensued and the show was delayed due to a small riot, thus proving Spoon fans to be the greatest fans on earth. After the show a lot of people blamed us and our fans for the trouble but we just say it's a ghetto world and we're just tryin to live. Keep it real. Peace.
entry nine:
December 31, 2002/ January 1, 2003- On New Year's Eve we managed to play a show spanning over 2 years. It was an intimate show, 99% hardcore Spoon fans. We debuted 1 new song and a cover of "Roxanne" by the Police. Though plagued by Grand Canyon-style echoes in the YMCA gym, we rocked as hard as humanly possible. During the finale ("Slow Song") there was a bit of what one might call "rocking out" and even a little bit of what one might call "bloodloss". All in the name of rock and what a way to ring in the New Year.
