Absolutely smashing concerto Saturday past in the gorgeous NJ shore town of 
        Keansburg.  'pon arrival, we noticed a dress code stating "No gang colors, 
        pants must be worn at waistline height".  Hmmmm.  The Wallybloodcripangels 
        usually dress in black, but always bring a few magenta smocks along to 
        thwart such a happenstance.  Part 2 however, was troubling....many of us 
        haven't seen our waist fer years. 
        On a side note; tis amusing to ponder the fathomlessly idiotic speeches of 
          politicos belching for "education reform" when referring to an overachieving 
          generation of nonfunctional illiterates so accomplished they cant figure out 
          their own pants.  Absolutely hopeless, but apparently preferable to pretend 
          otherwise.  "Fashion victims", you respond?  Aint we all. 
        Enter the club and whoa!.....coool place!  Lotsa parking, big room, state of 
          the art PA, nice people and the toilet reporter was gushing in the stalls! 
        Song 2 of set 1 finds our squarbling protagonist leaping from the stage and 
          gathering a type 2 ankle sprain.  Damn.  Left foot's turning blue and still 
          got 32 songs to go.  Much beer was imbibed and twas truly a pleasure to 
          actually hear the vocals for a change (tho some may disagree). 
        College freshman memories were rekindled during intermission as the 
          irrepressible Dan Defonza screamed convincingly into the unconscious 
          soundman's face whilst his effervescent bride, the former Lady Ramona 
          Murkley, gazed on supportingly thru a doe-eyed mist of unlubricated luv 
          often observed in Melissa Gilbert films. 
        Before summoning the coroner, the venue's owner stumbled by mentioning, "Oh 
          yeah, he swallowed abuncha pills."  No quincying required, as St. Defonza 
          brought the dead back to life and the show proceeded gimpily.  Avoiding all 
          DUI checkpoints whilst speeding back ta Brooklyn (Custard Wally does *not* 
          condone DUI, but frequently does so nevertheless), the goys were winding 
          down and having a quick post-show chat during the 3:30 AM unloading. 
        Fortuna hadn't finished wif us yet, howevah:  A staggering drunk approached 
          yer humble narrators, seeking to bum a cigarette.  When politely informed 
          that nonsmokers we, he cracked wise a bit, referring to our mothers' 
          southwestern portals.  A succinct decking by Onan the roadie and subsequent 
          f.o.b. delivery of several old school smacks to the effete young ponce 
          proceeded beatingly. As the bi-partisan sprinted his escape, closely 
          followed by his very own shoes hurled speedingly towards shampooless bean, 
          we couldn't help but think:  The perfect end to a fine evening of tasteful 
          music, we are truly blessed to have such a life. 
        Maybe we shoulda killed him, but why bother?  The ciggies'll get him soon 
          enuff while providing handsome dividends to fellow Altria shareholders. 
        We digress.....summoned by The Don for an early Monday show. 
        DON PEDRO'S.....MONDAY, OCTOBER 20th....8:30 - 9:00ish. 
        What more can be said about Don Pedro's?  We luv this place and will be 
          blasting thru a few new and obscure tunes. 
        As an afterfart, the abovementioned collegiate chum, Dan Defonza, is a 
          brilliant guitarist and gifted singer/songwriter in his own petard!  You can 
          check him out at:

        BRING ID......HOPE TA SEE YA! 
        Toilet Report:  Cunsistent.  Always quite clean and fit for an Ann Coulter 
      coffeetinkle, or Sarah Palin's moosepatty boom-booms.  |
