Been A Long Time

Sorry for the late post but my Internet connection took a shit. So as a ending for my last post Fag fest was not very exciting. But I've come to the conclusion that most lesbians are at least 200 pounds or more. Now onto the next show I worked for Ted Nugent at a casino. This is a really fucked up show if me and ninja Nate were not there the show would have taken a shit. First half the speakers were blown, if not for stealing from the monitors it would have sounded like shit. Now on to the worst lighting tech on the planet this guy did nothing to prepare for this show did not get the gels ready, did hang the lights right, had no idea how to program his dimmers or his counsel. Luckily he had the same dimmers and counsel I use every show. So I saved his ass and got paid for a show I was supposed to just watch. Plus made 100 dollars at the roulette table.


To help out a band I work with all the time I tried to post there promo video but they screwed that up so check them out on youtube Type Tate Rooper in the search box!

Wow WTF

This weekend was interesting I ran lights for Tate Rooper(taterooper.com) and Ask Your Mother. And I think I figured out the greatest mystery that has been set upon me thees last three years. That mystery was why do band guys(ugly dudes) get groupies. Its fucking simple chicks just want to fuck a dude who kind of sort of has rhythm. My point was justified by bogus loser dancing like a moron chicks fled like the plague was set loose. But where grinding on dude running lights just taping his foot and slightly bobbing in time with the music. That's right me (point two thumbs at self)! I did it scored a chick after a show. On a Sunday no less. Fucking on the Sabbath awesome! This calls for a victory song! I WIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hero And The Fallen

The Pop Evil show was awesome their new album is currently in production they are about to go on the road with Godsmack and with any luck I shall be joining the crew next year I had a long talk with their tour manager and after the second album comes out they will be looking for a full crew. Here's hoping.

My annual trip to Ichthus is here again and The Showdown is on my stage. They are currently the best of christian metal in my opinion. Now you might be asking yourself RainMan how can you say christian metal is cool. Because there is no difference between metal and christian metal with songs like "Fanatics And Whores" and "I Am Vengeance" The Showdown might as well be normal metal. Also christian music festivals you get treated like kings Catered Steakhouse for every meal and free food coupons if you don't like what they are serving. You can't beat it.

Now on to the sad part one of the nine has past away Paul Gray the bass player for Slipknot he will be missed.

Also the Innovator of Offense has also died known as "Mortis,Kanyon, and Cris Kanyon" in WCW and a short time with WWE. He was a 2 time tag champ with both Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow. He was a one time US champ. He created "The Flatliner, The Diamond Cutter", and Rey Mysterio's 619. His feuds with Raven and his flock are legendary, also his feud with Glacier if nothing else was entertaining.



Both Paul and Kanyon were found dead in there hotel rooms. Kanyon left a suicide note and Paul's is still under investigation.


Thank you fallen heroes you will be missed.

I Own Intelligent Lighting

Now that I'm in year three of being on the road I decided it was time to get some shit to make me kick major ass. I own intelligent lighting, which for you non production people is moving lights. Also I am the proud owner of a Mitchell Custom Brief case. In the near future there will be videos of my kick ass shit.

Now onto this weekends last shows The Tribute To McGraw. This was a average band with a nice figured (not so pretty faced)female fiddle player. Now although nothing truly notable happened I did get to see a flash of up skirt vagina.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY Pop Evil May 30Th Fon Du Lac,Wis, Caddy Shack Bar Be there for total metal mayhem and crazy shit like maybe Truckasaurus or possibly but not likely Jet Truck Melt Down. Be there or you will be eaten by mutant zombies this I promise.

Back In The Sadle

Well after about four months of video games (and sporadic masturbation), I have returned to another summer of roadieism. My first show was this past weekend working for a band called Tate Rooper(you can visit them at taterooper.com) it went well other than the lead singer losing his voice. My timing was a little off but for the most part I was on par. As far as weird shit goes there was none. Hopefully this weekend will be a little more entertaining. This weekend I have Tim Mcgraw (i hate country but they are paying me). The next show I am at that is open to he public is May 30Th with Pop Evil location will be posted soon.

Almost Show Time

Starting in May I will be back on the road. First real show is with a band called Pop Evil. They are a semi national, which means they tour there ass's off just to get noticed. They also happen to be the first band I ever ran lights for, along with Egypt Central. Nothing isane happened at that show other than the showing of boobys. Any way I can't think of any thing to say right now. So I leave you with my favorite Pop Evil song Hero.

Detroit Rock City

This New Years I spent in Detroit making money. Out of a six person crew two were incompetent and I have to use person crew because there was a female on the crew. Now before you start thinking this is a positive I shall stop you there. She was weird looking and scuzzy. She was on the crew because of her boy friend he was the other incompetent member, not because he didn't know anything but because he was the complainer of the group. Now on to the show load in went well (our light guy was Beavis the light guy for Devildriver who toured with Slipknot this past year). So Beavis and me set up the light rig. GBNate and BDNate and incompetent #2 set up the sound. Went to bed about five am. Got up at noon and stood around till about two when the band showed up the bands name was The Vonbondies. In my opinion they are a good punk band. Show started about eight their were two bands before the headliner who I ran lights for while Beavis got wasted he came back really fucked up which showed when it was time to run lights. So over all I am still the light master compared to anyone I've ever worked with because I don't get fucked up at shows. After show loaded up but not out waited till mourning got up and drove twelve hours back to Green Bay(due to a snow storm we drove 25mph for two hours which sucked).Now to the part of the story every one will laugh at during the vonbondies show I got bored so I went into the "DJ room" to watch and make sure no shit blew up so sitting behind the stage surounded by curtains watching the lights go up and down I got thirsty as I am walking out a woman who I would not classify as my normal go to when trying to get laid walks up to me crying she tells me her ex boyfriend said she was fat I lied and said he is an idiot.(while not grotesque in her fatness she was 165-175 5'9) Any way this simple lie scores me a bj and while this is happening lady gaga music turns on, not poker face which would have put my story over the top of awesome it was still funny because that was the song I was singing in my head. Woooooooooo! Ric flair strut all the way home.



my computer took a shit so this will be my last entry for a while also i can't steal a vonbondies video


how ever here is devildriver
