82. 12-17-05 Chatterbox, Lincoln, NE
This was the first night of our winter tour and things didnt start out
right. It was sign of things to come. The promoter showed up late which didnt makes us happy. We finally
went on and Travis Hansen was deemed as the fill in for Sticky for the tour. Two songs into the set Sticky runs on stage
and tells Travis to leave. Mike tells Sticky to fuck off and threw him off the stage. It was a very intense
moment for the band but we picked up and destroyed the motherfucker like usual. Good party after the show. Mike
drank a million jello shots and we had to carry him home. Good night had by all.
83. 12-18-05 Booby Trap Bar Topeka, KS
We arrived early in Topeka and had some time to kill. We decided to bring
a pony keg on the road with us and it was the first night out so we filled him up. We partied in the van in the parking
lot of the venue till the show started. The venue was pretty cool but they never paid us. Come on now pay the
touring band it's only right. We met a lot of awesome people there, especially this crazy drug lord. This may
sound bad but it is the truth and things happen like this. He came up to me and asked if we needed a place to stay.
I said sure and he was like "well come on over to my place its right down the block and you can check it out at see if its
cool". So I went down there and I was very nervous the whole time. He said it was cool if we stayed, but things
were just to weird and I had a bad fealing about the whole thing. So we get back to the venue and he asks me to go get
someone with a valid drivers licensce. So I got Duff who got in this guys car. I thought we were going right back
to his house and Duff and I would walk back. But to my suprise he said I have some things I need to take care of and
I only need one person. So Duff went off with this strange man running him around Topeka. We were all very nervous
because this guy was so crazy. Finally Duff returned and to this day he believes he was a drug runner for this crazy
drug lord. As a band we decided to load up and go to the next town instead of staying with this guy. We packed
up and went to Manhattan.
84. 12-19-05 PJ's Bar and Grill Manhattan, KS
Well we stayed in a hotel the night before so we had to be up early
so went out to do a little shopping (OT Style). We went to the mall in Manhattan and hit on lots of girls but no one
really even cared. We did talk one guy from hot topic into coming to the show. We also went to the biggest Hastings
store ever and passed out there for about two hours (regular hobo style). We showed up to the venue like three hours
early and destroyed the rest of the pony keg in the van waiting for the show. Of course in true OT style the venue messed
up and scheduled to acoustic john mayer-type bands to open for us. There was a good crowd but they were all preppies
and took off as soon as Speedkill took the stage. They were not ready for the metal assualt. Steve from speedkill
lost his voice so speedkill cut there set short and OT came on. We played to about 10 very appreciative fans.
After we played an awesome set they just kept yelling for more. So we winged a few new songs that werent really done
and a cover of Pennywise's "Bro Hymn". We also played most of our set over. Basically we played for about an hour
and half (unherd of in punk rock). They kept yelling for more. After the show we stayed with a band called Kombo
Mambo, a very awesome ska band. We partied all night and Mike passed out in 13 minutes from too much to drink (this
is called the FLOPPY FISH from now on). We met a lot of nice people and had fun in Manhattan.
12-20-05 Oklahmoa City, OK The Deep End
We had a nice drive through Kansas to Oklahoma which took all day.
We arrived in Oklahoma and things were crazy all ready. People looked at us like we were the devil when we pulled over
for gas and everybody had crazy accents. We got to the venue a few hours early and had the owners get us some booze.
The venue was unbeliabable. Looked a lot like Sokol Underground if you know what that is. Sam, Eric, Steve, and
Travis decided to go get some food and took off in the van. They drove all over the city looking for a buffet to eat
because Ramen was getting old quick. After a lot of time spent driving they found an American buffet called Furs.
To there suprise it was the worst restaurant they have ever ecountered ever! Asians and Mexicans making hamburgers and
spaghetti. Lame. So they ate the unbeliaveble food and prepared for the long journey back to the venue.
After getting lost a few times they found the place. Duff and Mike were already drinking backstage and having a good
time. About 10 minutes before show time the cops raided the place and told the owners to shut down. They didnt
have a legal work permit or something. So we packed up and headed for Tulsa. It was a short drive and we found
a hotel with Free Porno on the TV. Could you ask for anything else. First night no one drank on tour.
12-21-05 Tulsa Ok. The Dead End Tavern
We stayed in another hotel and had to pack up
early and leave the next morning. We ate and went shopping all day at the dollar stores. We eventually ended up
downtown and the van was acting up a little. So we determined we needed more transmission fluid in her. So right there
in down town Tulsa we were repairing the van when some locals came up and started talking to us. To our suprise it was
two mexican dudes and an Indian Chick. The Indian went for Duff who was talking on his phone, and one of the Mexican
dudes comes up to me and says "She is Indian she will kill your friend". Duff just pushed her away and ran towards the
van. The Mexicans insisted on helping us with the transmission flued so we let them. For their help Eric gave
them his rooster booster slushie and a cup of ramen. Apon recieving this one of the Mexican guys goes "He's got a knife
he will cut you up". This was the time when we knew we had to take off. We hoped in the van and cruised to the
Tulsa mall for some girl scouting before the show. This mall was a girl haven. Millions and millions of hotties
running around and then theses punk mother fucks on tour. Needless to say we didnt make a good impression. We
soon headed for the venue. We set up and the bar owner told us he could only pay us 20$ but we could have all the
free booze we wanted. So we were all wasted before the show even started. And of coarse something had to go wrong.
They had the worst PA ever. It was a mostly insturmental set but who cares we got free booze. So after our set
we started parting with these two awesome chicks. We drank a ton of beer and loaded up our van (hardest load up ever).
Then we headed for a truck stop. We reached the truck stop safe and sound and got out for some drunken escipades.
We were wrestling around and of coarse the cops came and got on our cases. They told us to leave but we had no where
to go so we stayed and passed out. A long day in Tulsa came to an end.
12-22-05
We had a day off here. We drove from Tulsa all the way to Kansas
City. It was a horribly long drive and everyone was cranky from the night before. We met up with one of our old
friends from Fremont named Sox. We got drunk with her and crashed at her place.
12-23-05
We drove from Kansas City all the way to Jefferson SD for our last
show of the tour. Everyone was pretty beat but the spirits were lifted for the show. We arrived about an hour
early with speedkill starting the show with a death metal blast. Then OT went on and destroyed the crowd. Most
of the crowd were chicks and emo kids but we did run into some of our friends from South Dakota. After the show we all
drank lots of Whiskey and messed around in the parking lot till the show was done. Then we made the hour and a half
trip back home and had Christmas. Another OT tour in the books.
