TGB'S INCREDIBLE WEEKEND! - August 25, 2008
ok just in case you werent there at hyperfest this weekend ...it was so sick! on Friday night we played Atomic Cantina ...our slot got pushed back a little bit later than the promoter originally told us ...so that was way better! we went on and MAN was it a good crowd! we got to play our full set and everything sounded great and went smoothly over all! then we were loading our stuff out to the Ford Beneath and all these dudes were swirling around us w/clipboards & headsets asking who's car this was? I was like "mine! mine!" so they asked if they could use it in their shot! about that time i noticed movie cameras and semi trucks everywhere so i told em to go for it! they said they were filming season 2 of Breaking Bad on AMC and they stuffed two incredibly hot chicks w/about $3000 in 100's in my car and said "ok this is the big drug deal scene"! aw dude! then they brought out this homey lookin dude w/a mohawk and they shot it up and then they all split as quickly as they appeared. THEN out of the front of Atomic Cantina strolls Shannon Larkin ...the drummer of Godsmack! this guy is grade A drum genius! he said he watched our whole set by himself and he was really impressed! we hooked him up our cds and a shirt and his assistant tried to take them right away but he ripped off the shirt he was wearing in the middle of the street and slapped ours on and rocked it for the rest of the night! we got to hang out w/him all night fri as well as sat! then we took in The Platforms ...four incredibly hot ladies from Austin who we made friends with and spent the rest of the weekend with too! Another band that blew us away was Divebomber from San Diego ...we partied w/everyone in their hotel room and barely made it home alive! it was a killer weekend -- s
