Yeee-hawwwww!!!!! Here we go again one more time in North America! Thunder Bay, Canada - this Saturday night!
Due to the fact that Tullster is too smart to ruin his pending nuptials to a beautiful lady over a night out with the likes of us, he's bowed out. But his company and penchant for finding the best cheeseburgers in town will be sorely missed, as will that of Lute, who is now in love as well. Lute tends to be able to sniff out the best imported beers and keeps energy levels up (via lots of boooze) when they sometimes lag in the late-afternoon hours pre-gig.
Dunk is tucked safely up in Glasgow, the old bastard saving his rubles for London. And Daz is working his fingers to the bone seven days a week to save for 12 gigs in the UK this fall.
So I guess, this time at least, it's the bachelor's-only team of RasMull, Dean-O and yours truly, Crow Gizzard.
The gig's up at this place called Warp 9 and I heard it's a pretty big place, like Barrowlands, The Rave In Milwaukee, First Ave. in Minneapolis, you know the picture.
So if we get over the border we will report back to you guys. I heard they are getting heavily into cavity searches at the Canadian border, so maybe I'll find love too!!!
;D

I am betting my 401K retirement plan that Campbell introduces Lemmy as "The man who put the THUNDER in Thunder Bay!!!!!!!!!! MR. LEMMY KILMIS-STER!!!!!!!!" ;D

I've gotta do some more test shooting on Sunday too, so that's cramping my style a bit as well. I hope you've packed your woolen undies because we've got a cold snap and I'm pretty sure it won't be any warmer across the border. |

All right fuckers! I'm in the lobby of the Super 8 in Thunder Bay next door to the Warp 9. They gave us the roomnext to the club and said it would be loud - but we said we're going to the fuckin' show so who cares?!!!! Campbell was here hangiing with us for a bit and was very nice - signed some stuff - we're headed off to get into sound check. We almosthit two mooses on the way up here!!! The scenery along the lakeshore of Superior has been unreal. It's like being in a bad episode of Northern Exposure EH?? CROW Gizzard, with RASMULL, and Deano - Lutefisk is a big cake baking puss.

All right - We just saw the soundcheck courtesy of Mr. Augustus fucking Campbell - a standup man who is a shitty pool player I have noticed and his foul language is a shame as well. Lemmy beat Campbell in two games.
I am standing in the lobby of this absolute shithole hotel in T-Bay drinking in public ( a pabst blue ribbon) and trying to tell this tale. Soundcheck was very interesting with Lemmy walking around smoking and bitching and then Mikkey and Campbell came up to work out the "Whorehouse" acoustic stuff. A little bit from Campbell to work out the lag and then Lemmy was back in the corner at the gambling machine. Hobbsy was nice as usual and all seems to be well in the camp. The line outside Warp 9 is forming and there are many hardcore freaks in this crowd.
The hotel we're in - I should say MO-tel is as much of dump as the club. It's hard to believe Motorhead will be playing their 30th anniversary show in the beauty of London in less than two months and they are playing this building that is, literally, falling down. The wind is blowing the side of the place away! It's made out of plywood.
We'll see what happens. OK- gonna shit, shower and shave and get ready to rock. And have another Pabst. I suggest you do the same. Later, STEVE

It's now the morning after. Not in too bad of a shape here, considering.
The sound last night was great - Campbell's guitar sounded more like some kind of an engine than an instrument.
No surprises set-wise, just a great, solid show.
I couldn't believe how sedate the crowd was for 90 percent of the show and then at the end, a vicious brawl broke out during "Whorehouse Blues" right in front of the stage. The guys bounced right out the door.
After the show there was a husband and wife selling hot dogs outside the door. Rasmull and I stood outside in the night air eating these hotdogs and watching Canadians beating the absolute shit out of each other as they came out of the venue. Saw several really nasty brawls. So we decided that these hot dogs would be called Brawl Dogs. If you're ever in Thunder Bay, get a brawl dog with ketchup, mustard and onions, very delightful.
Gotta get in the car and drive 12 hours back home now. Hope there are no moose in the road.

Dread, guys, man what a great show in Thunder Bay. Cake baker and Tully, you missed the best sounding show yet. At least as good as Newcastle and Seattle. Crow forgot to mention he owes all of you on his wrong Lemmy intro......it was "the man who put the hooray in thunder bay"! And the drive up the Lake Superior shoreline rivals anyplace I been. (as pretty as Dunk's Scotland) I thought "Just because you got the power", and "I got mine" were real highlights. Crow I'd travel w/you anywhere, you're a great friend-RasMull, cheers to Deano on his automobile-narcolepsy!
