Welcome to Pat's show log... this was originally supposed to be Matt's show log, but due to Matt's laziness and Pat's impatience, Mainstream Trash is proud to present to you Pat's Show Log...

Beef Social I- Nate's House, St. John, MO-April 21st
This I believe was our best show. We weren't too tight as a band when we played this but we sounded good. We had a good crowd, a whole basement packed with people. The Sharks and us played. We made a total of $0. And sold $0 of merch, but we had no merch and the admission was free. About 65 people showed up, mostly friends of the bands. We had to turn down a few individuals due to lack of room and oxygen, but we were supposed to play in Nate's backyard, but the Man-Beast next door called the cops on us, so on into the basement the beef went. Rating from 1-10: 8. Ram broke one mic.

Princess's Birthday Party- Princess's House, O'Fallon, MO- August 7th
This was the most embarrasing, biggest waste of time, and to top it all we didn't get paid. We drove from Ferguson to O'Fallon in some of the worst weather I've ever seen for shit. We started off playing for about 20 people but fell to 3 people 3/4 the way through our set. What's wrong with these people? or us? We hauled all of our shit, set up and played for nothing! Well, for 3 people. How embarrasing. We sold $0 merch (again, we had none). and made $0. Rating from 1-10: 0

1st CJ Teen's Show- CJ Teen's, Festus, MO- August 14th
This was a memorable night. We played with The Bumpin' Uglies, The Shampoo Sharks, and Squad Car. We played well. We sold $0 merch (AGAIN, we had none) and didn't get paid, but it was worth it. About 70 people showed up. Rating from 1-10: 7

Beef Social II- Manny's House- Lemay, MO- August 19th
This Beef Social really didnt live up to the Beef Social name. It was still a good time though. The bands slated were Emergency Crackaz (now Nipple Bombers), Deaf Children, Stalemate, us, and the Shampoo Sharks, however the only bands that got to play were us, Deaf Children, and Stalemate. Deaf Children were great, but Stalemate blew. This opinion is probably somewhat affected by the fact that their guitarist was a complete asshole to every other person besides the members of his band and his friends. We made $2, which I spent at Jack in the Box. The admission was intended to be $1, but nobody was motivated enough to collect money. About 90 people showed up, and once the cops stopped by for the third time, we gathered that it was time for the beef social to end. Regardless, we had fun. Rating from 1-10: 6.

2nd CJ Teen's Show, CJ Teen's-Festus,MO -August 22nd
This show was going pretty well until I broke a string. I was re-stringing in the dark and I realized that I had put the wrong string on, so I asked one of Squad Car's guitarists to borrow their guitar, and after I tuned and shit, our set time was almost up, so we just told Squad Car they could go on. We played with James Mc Cloud, Squad Car, and the Flea Axe. We made $2 from selling merch, and the rest of the merch we left accidentally at CJ Teen's... so now theres probably a mad hoosier running around with Mainstream Trash socks and thrift shirts and stuff. Lucky them. The night was not that great for us, but at least we got to see Squad Car. Rating from 1-10: 3

Indiefest at The Galaxy Oct. 16th, 1999
This show went very well except that my hand went numb before the last 2 songs. There was a pretty big crowd for us even though we played in the afternoon. Hover McNoover also played (our friends and lovers). We sold a few tapes. Nothing to brag about though. We played alright. Rating from 1-10: 8.

Live Aid XV- CBC Cafeteria, November 1999
This was probably our best live performance. The crowd was the best part. They screamed at us (good screaming) until 10 minutes after we got done playing. At was at our school, CBC. We sold about 40 tapes and gained alot of fans... even the jocks liked us! Though we only got to play 4 songs, this deserves a Rating of 1-10: 9.2.

Creepy Crawl- March 4th, 2000
This was one of our better shows. The crowd response was terrific, as well as the other bands we played with, and there were lots of rowdy makers in the crowd. We made 50 bucks from playing. This was our first paying gig. (sadly enough). Rating from 1-10: 8

Jamnesty International- CBC Cafeteria, March 10th, 2000
This show was kind of shitty because the reject sound man accidentally forgot to plug something in or some shit, but either way in the middle of our first song we were cut off because of his dumb ass. After everything was fixed, we tore ass and some kids started a pit. It was great to see the enthusiasm and the humor, especially because it took teachers and some rent-a-cop to break it up. Its great to see a pit, especially after sitting through 2 hours of hippie music and old-man rock n' roll. We didnt make much cash but it was all for a good cause and we had a good amount of fun. We met alot of fun and new people such as The Perverts. Rating from 1-10: 7

The Hi-Pointe- March 15th, 2000
I think this was quite a shitty show. Matt made numerous mistakes and kept playing in between songs, so the crowd couldn't hear us when we were talking. Either way, we played like crap altogether. We had a bad crowd response and sold no merch. We made $55 for playing. The Shampoo Sharks were good. Rating from 1-10: 2.
