DOWN 9-25-09 @ Pops
Category: Music

Took Ryan, Matt, Em, and 100 Watt to Pops on 9-25-09 for Down, Melvins, and Weedeater.

We had a blast on the way down. At Taco Hell in Mt. Vernon we discussed blow up dolls that go "BAAAAAAAAAAA" much to the chagrin of the other customers. Watt even showed his sexy side by displaying some nipple...

On Time and full magnum!!!

After we made it near St. Louis we found a hotel room and rested for a little while. After an hour or so we made our way to Pops.

A of us were able to score VIP passes for Down :)

We got to attend soundcheck were Down came out and fine tuned everything and even treated us to a performance of Losing All from Nola!!! It was great. The new Orange amps sounded good especially during the guitar solos. Pepper walked off stage to test his wireless system. He playing all of Losing All right in front of us!!!***EDIT*** Almost forgot that Phil took over on guitar and jammed on Slayer. Pepper was doing vocals. It was good stuff!!!

Next we got to meet the band and get autographs and pics. It was fun. I even got to talk some boxing with Phil and he didn't like my take on the Klitschko vs Arreola fight at all- he got pissed off HAHAHA!!! It was funny. Ryan talked to him next and said, (referring to me) "Fuck that dude!" HAHAHA!!!

Happy Phil

Happy Phil again

I can't believe I gotta take a pic with the dude backing Arreola Phil. HAHA!!!

Next up ran into my old friend Krazy Kris and her fiance Jimmy!!! Cool people. We had some fun. Kris damn near knocked some crippled dude out of his wheelchair trying to get a pic with Kirk, my crew and I almost had tears in our eyes from laughing- it was funny!!! KK was fun as usual. It was weird cause she had both of her Jimmy's at one show LMFAO!!!

Next up was Down!!! We had waiting through Weedeater (not bad at all) and Melvins (sounded good but not my thing) for DOWN!!!

They played the following songs:

Eyes of the South
N.O.D.
Lifer
The Path
New Orleans Is A Dying Whore
Lysergik Funeral Procession
Pillars Of Eternity
Hail The Leaf Rocker

Ghosts Along The Mississippi
Nothing In Return
---------------
Temptations Wings Rocker

Stone The Crow
Bury Me In Smoke

Another great performance from Down. Everyone sounded ON TIME as Watt would say. I met up with some of my fellow downboard.com members as well

After the show we went back to the hotel. I think everyone was lit up but me. Wattage was feeling it and Matt was FUBARD. We had to practically carry him in the hotel room. He probably doesn't want you knowing that about 4:00 am we all woke up due to hearing a weird noise and he was trying to hold himself up while attempting to urinate in the sink. Instead it went all over the floor, but you didn't hear it from me HAHAHA!!!
