'On A Serious 3.5% Tip, The Second Letter In The English Alphabet Is B, Think About It'
If you understand what the hell that quote means email Ven @ Pragakhan.com.
Sitting here chilling at DJBob's house. Xyzzy is passed out on the couch, Haides is in the corner sleeping under the air conditioner, Bob is in the bedroom playing with his cat. I on the other hand is sitting here bored. I did put up the rest of the pics yesterday.
So this morning I will finally be going home home home. Where I have work work work and more work to do. This is what happens when you just leave work and go on tour :)
Well the floor is looking mighty confy right now. I think I will go molest it for awhile. And yes I will stop filling up the news with my boring daily life.

Day 13 - August 13th, 2000
Don't eat the food in the hotel fridge... It's bad, mmkay?
So I spent the morning in the bathroom sleeping on the toilet. Room service was next in the line of annoyances. Checkout time was 3 PM, they started bothering me at 11:00 AM despite the Do Not Disturb sign on the door.
Arrived at Venue around 4 PM. Worked more on stuff till 30 minutes before show.
Hung out with Luna and Sonia after the show, went out for dinner then back to the venue. Said goodbye and stuff, then departed for O-High-O.
Watched movies and zonked.
Day 14 - August 14th, 2000
Awoke at 2 PM, We were already in O-High-O. Looks like the Odeon this time.
Worked on pictures as usual (was hoping to zonk). Waiting for Allie to arrive and relax for a bit.
Will be departing after the show and heading to Michigan (The last show). | |

Day 10 - August 10th, 2000
Wow back to Atlanta again. Hot but not that hot here. Overslept till 3:30 PM, got up and walked around. Amazing humans can walk while the brain is still asleep. There is already a line around the club.. Took a shower FINALLY, zest fully clean :) Time to go take pics and do my thing.
Day 11 - August 11th, 2000
Florida.. HOT HOT HOT. And there is sand everywhere. Most of the crew and band went jetskiing.
Another great day of slow connections to the internet.
Day 12 - August 12th, 2000
Day off... WHEE!!!
left Florida, Went to North Carolina. Group took a 5 hour break (shopping, relaxing etc...). As for me I...
Slept... Overslept... Slept some more.. Got a drink... Slept... Got food at Wendy's... Slept...

| Days 8-9 - August 8-9, 2000 |
Day 8 - August 8th, 2000
Put more pictures up. Found out some of the upcoming shows are getting close to sold out.
The Atlanta Show has been moved indoors, so please make a note of this.
The Detroit Show is the last show on this tour. The group will hold a autograph session afterwards. Hopefully no riots will happen this time.
The Texas show in my opinion was THE BEST show on this tour. It had a lot of moment. I counted 4 females being dragged out cause they had passed out. Special thanks to the medics on staff to handle the situation. After the show the group signed autographs. We didn't leave Texas till almost 4 AM.
Sat around and watched Romeo Must Die and then Zonked as the sun was coming up.
Day 9 - August 9th, 2000
Arrive in New Orleans around 10 AM.
HOT HOT HOT.
Well time to go do work and stuff. More to come later

Day 6 - August 6th, 2000
Awoke at 1:15 PM again. Got a SupErPhast Internet connection (14.4 wheee). Took me over a hour to upload pics.
Ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Met a bunch of fans. Took pics. Watched the show. Met some interesting people after the show. Rolled out at some unknown time.
20 hour drive to Dallas Texas. Zonked by 3 am
Day 7 - August 7th, 2000
Arrived in Dallas around 4 PM. Unloaded the bus only to find the elevator was broke... 3 flights of steps with lots of luggage is a bitch. Made it to my room. Started working on the pics from the Vic.
It's my day off so I think it's time to go swimming or something.
Will post the pics tomorrow before the show as soon as I get the group together to look them over.
Time to go Zonk

Day 4 - August 4th, 2000
Worked on the site till the last moment of checkout.
Headed to the venue. Ended up doing a chat session with the group over the internet.
Then the group went for soundcheck and the laptop batteries died.
After the show we jumped on board and headed for Minneapolis. Worked on the tour pics for 6 hours and then Zonked
Day 5 - August 5th, 2000
Awoke at 1:15 PM. Stumbled around aimlessly. Spent the morning finishing the rest of the tour pictures.
Met up with Katie and hung out. Show went on... After the show I sat outside and relaxed and listen to people declaring the Lords of Acid bus was the Kid Rock bus.
Watched 3 people attempt to break into the bus. *shrug* (such excitement).
Rolled out around 1 AM. Worked on tour pics till 5 AM then Zonked.

Day 1 - August 1st, 2000
Arrived at the airport.. got on the plane, zonked out. Made It to Texas, sat around. Made it to Denver. Discovered when I got to Denver the hotel was 30 miles away. BUT, there was a god, I saw Chris (dude from the last tour) walking and it turned out he was on the tour again. So we got a minivan and made it to the hotel.
And of course I had to go see Hans and Oli, and then went on a trek for food at 4 AM (not easy).
So day 1 I found Ernesto (guy from last tour), Chris, Ludo (Carl S, Johansen), Hans and Oliver.
Showered and Zonked...
Day 2 - August 2nd, 2000
Woke up, felt like I had a hangover from hell. Didn't realize the A/C was on all night.
Went downstairs to see what the schedule was.. Got tackled by Deb and then a second attack from Ester*. Went outside and met the tour manager...
Next step was to pay for my damn ebay auctions I won that I forgot about. On the way back from the post office I was yelled at by someone, I blew them off. Then they yelled again.. So I stopped and looked. It was Praga Khan himself.
Hung out around town for awhile. Later the bus finally arrived.. I discovered the iMac fits in the bunk and there is still room to sleep. So now I can work on the site while I am in my bunk..
Took some pics. Went back to the hotel and waited for the delivery of the cable for the camera to transfer pictures.
Doors opened at the Ogden at 8 PM. Show started at 9:15 PM... Lords went on around 10:45 PM.
Not going to post my reviews of the shows. Everyone has their own views on things.
We rolled out around 2 AM. Zonked...
Day 3 - August 3rd, 2000
This is our day off.. OK, OK, I know what you are thinking, cause I thought it myself.. One show done, now a day off.. heheheh, If only your normal job was like this huh?
So we're in the hotel chilling.. So I went and checked out some of the music stores in this town, nothing impressive :( Had more fun at Kinko's.
The group is out for pizza, I am gonna shower and go out for awhile and work on the pictures from Denver tonight :)
People emailing me can expect a 3-4 day lag, don't expect the 1-3 hours it use to take .
Might update this later tonight. Check Back.
