So, we do a little mini-tour that was going to be three shows: Orlando, New Orleans and Houston. After having difficulty renting a van from American Van Rentals (seriously, don't EVER use these retards...) and me having to fly to Atlanta FROM Orlando just so I could pick up the van......we had to cancel the Orlando show. We then just drove out to New Orleans to hang out with Howie from Reason of Insanity and The Pallbearers so we could be there early for our show there the following night. So all goes well for the first part of the day, we hang out around the Quarter, shoot some photos and then head to the show. Nasty Habits opens up and they put on a great show. Then the Pallbearers take the "stage" or floor area where a stage might be.... The singer seems to be pissed at the world for some reason and is ranting about this and that and then out of the blue, someone punches the shit outta the guy! So, his natural recourse is to rant a little more, walk up to some squatter chick and punch her.... (Ok, so maybe she punched him? Don't know...) So things are a little out of hand and he starts ranting and rubbing the blood from his nose on himself. The chick comes back in a couple times and unplugs the PA and runs back outside. Now the singer (and pretty much everyone in the place) is pissed off. So he picks up the remains of a broken bottle and proceeds to slash himself a little. Apparently this is commonplace for the guy and everyone is used to it. But then things go south (almost 6' south for him...) He jabs himself with the broken bottle and apparently jabs a little harder than normal and he starts gushing blood. Like horror-movie gushing! Obviously the show ends immediately and an ambulance is called which precipitates the NATIONAL GUARD to show up in a HumVee with a .50 cal on the roof! Needless to say, it was a crazy night! So below is the bulletin I posted along with a picture of the guy in his bloody glory....

Let's just say in the event that we ever do a show with the Pallbearers (which I'm thinking is probably a bit unlikely) WE will be playing before them....

This is the singer of the Pallbearers shortly after stabbing himself in the chest with a broken beer bottle....and puncturing his fucking lung!

Um, next time we're playing first!

And kids, DON'T try this at home....or in a bar....or well anywhere unless you're looking for a dirt nap! I think this guy lost a couple pints of blood before he made it to the hospital....

Did I mention that we're playing BEFORE the Pallbearers next time (if there is a next time...as I'm thinking this guy won't be singing for a bit....)

Ok, so enough babble: Here's the pic...note the river of blood flowing down the center of his chest and down his pants. This was flowing solidly...not a trickle. I believe the puncture was on the center right (bottom of the star tattoo) barely missing the breastplate...and heart.
