entry: 

It was during my second semester of college. I skipped band practice because we were just recording drums, and I wasn't required, and recording is a tedious process, so I decided to go see my friends in Fall of Olympus open for Stillkept. Bleak picked me up and dropped me off at City Place. I had a Philly cheese steak, a bag of cheetos, and a Mountain Dew at Publix. I also picked up a plastic easter egg full of air heads. That shit was gooood. I walked over to RAY'S. I ran into Sean from Stillkept. Then I ran into Dagon. Then the rest of the band was there. There is Ken Haze on vocals, Twiggy (AKA Jason) on guitar, Dagon (AKA Chris Davis) on bass, and John on drums. I had never met John before but he looks like Jack Black. I got to catching up with Ken and how his job editing porn has gone. Dustin Hacking showed up. That's all that was there. There were the bands, Dustin Hacking, and me. So, Fall of Olympus hit the stage. Immediately Jason's like "So, how are all four of you?" The audience only consisted of Me, Dustin, and Stillkept. The best part, though, is that they just didn't give a fuck. They acted like there was a million people there that loved them. At one point Chris jumped off the stage and .....no one.....had to get out of his way, and he was just jammin on the floor playin his bass. Ken was talking like a rock star "We'd like to thank all the bands playing here tonight who have given us the opportunity to play with them. Stillkept, Aboslute Asylum, Tromedy. Thank you all for watching. Goodnight." All two of us clapped. Then Jason was like "That was the best band practice we've ever had." They loaded their stuff into Ken's van. Dustin watched TROMEDY, I accompanied Dagon's feast at the Italian place next door, and  the rest of Fall of Olympus ate at Oshey's and probably got drunk. Sheila showed up and kissed me. Half the band left after that. The half that stayed consisted of Dagon and John. After TROMEDY was done, like a million people showed up. All these fuckin people showed up out of no where. We hear all these people screaming in the venue while Absolute Asylum is playing, so, Dagon's getting all pissed off. He's like "Alright, I gotta see this. There better be tits or somethin." We go in and it's just Absolute Asylum playing to a whole platoon of hot chicks that I guess now make up their fan base. Their just screaming and bouncing the whole time. Dagon's like pissed out of his mind of coures thinking "what do these guys have that we don't" and I'm answering "They have fabio as their singer." Of course, more people showed up for Stillkept. It was odd hearing Unnerving without Phil's samples. So, what really happened was that he had a baby. So, he doesn't have time for this anymore I guess. Sean, was down sining in the crowd with his cordless mic. It was cool. At the end of their set he asked everyone to give it up for the Absolute Asylum and TROMEDY but he failed to mention Fall of Olympus. Dagon took me home. We listened to some Mike Patton mother fuckin jam.
