Chapter Two - Seattle Swashbucklers
Sept, 1st
Our first show was at the Showbox, we were to playing with ...a plethora of seattles best bands.... but after a fierce 8 hour battle with the boarder guards, Luci was set a peg leg back in her travelling schedule... the boarder guards now carry a heavy pirate curse on their padded sholders....
Luci pulls into port 11pm.... Seattle, Washington.... a beautiful city it is..... Luci loves it..... We were making our way to the Venue when a deffening noise began abusing our ears it was roaring from sylvia herself (our trailer). A quick glance out the porthole revieled that a tire had exploded and we were sailing on the rim (see pictures). So with 10 minutes till show time, Paranoid Pete hoisted the trailer and attacked the spare tire lock with a rusty hammer, as we had not the key... His efforts were not in vain, the tire was changed but it seemed this show was not meant to be.... Crew moral was still high though a little shaken.... all in all we had made it to Seattle and across the boarder, wich was indeed the first and largest obstical ... there was much rejoycing....
Sept 2,
Today Luci played the "The Tractor Tavern" with seattle locals RED NOTE and SEEING
BLIND... Twas a grande show, all the bands played like true pirates, Luci loves all of
ya's....
On a side note, the author made temporary acquaintences with a very large fellow who spoke much like Michel Jackeson and bore a strong resemblance to the late Notorious BIG. He epxressed a strong love for music.... specifically, Gladis Night and the Pips.... cool shit....
The author became a little unerved when the large fellow became confused and kind of irritated that the author didn't want him to phone Calvin for party treats.... the author knows not a calvin nor his treats.... the aquaintanceship ended soon there after....and there was much rejoycing....
Notible mentions: Pirate respects go out to Noah and his fortune, anyone who loves music should check out this man (myspace.com/noahsfortune) amazing jazz guitar and soul music...
Sept 3rd....
Today Luci aquired the 6th member of the band, the one who holds it alltogether by the rugged ways of the pirate code.... THE JOLLY ROGER..... the flag took its menacing place of birth right flying from the antenna of Sylvia's Mother.... In celebration of the occasion Luci
spent the day eating garlic, drinking grog, and making babies cry....
Sept 4th....
Today Luci shared the stage at the Central Saloon with the 1203 and Paula Maya. A truly incredible occasion....
Sept 5th.
Luci's Last day in Seattle....
It was spent on many a runabouts and last minute demo get dones.... wich almost all of got dones.... a couple wrong turns, a couple skillfully executed backward trailer back outs.... a couple lessons in traffic control.... a couple piraty skewers....
We took one wrong turn on our way to Bumbershoot Music Festival into the narrowest one lane straight Luci had seen thus far.... Ships (cars) lining both sides of the road and just barely enough room for the great Sylvia's Mother (the suberban) to sail though. The
straight ended in a T intersection, so we chose right.... turned out right was an even narrower straight then the previous. Now we were wedged half way around a corner.... the suberban between a wall and another row of cars, the trailer not being able to make the tight turn do to a jeep parked on the corner.... we had absoloutly no way to back out, move forward, or manuver down the left side of the T intersection.... We tryed the Austin powers back and forth manouver for about 20 minutes. Our efforts were fruitless as a scurvy ridden Saint Bernaurd. The hoard of hippie pirates drinking on the steps watching us, thought it was hilarious. After they'd had there fill of our struggle situation, the good lads volunteered their backs and and a little drunkain brains and joined forces with Luci D to form the most powerful jeep lifting horde of pirates Seattle
has ever encountered..... yarghhhh.... after the jeep was clearly out of the way and now taking up most of the sidewalk, Sylvias's Mother squeezed though. The newly formed powerful pirate horde recessed with beer too the vary steps they had first
risen from..... and there was MUCH rejoycing.... The gods of the sea smile on you villinously helpful hippies....
Luci is in your debt....
Luci raises anchor and sets sail to Sacramento....
