well, they let him sing backup... the guitar playing one with the dumb hat...
in poughkipsee (which i will consistantly spell wrong, thanks) 2 nights ago

actually, i dont have much to say about the show but i figured it WAS the
official start of the tour and deserves a mention. it was good, lots of silly
dialog including a flansburghian monologue on how weirdly sexless the little
college symbol guy is. the show was indeed in the vassar cafeteria which meant
it was more like a mid-size party where everyone stopped making out cuz the
band was so darn good. i opted for the conga line and we ended up just running
around in the back while random guys tackled about every 5th congaer. but it
was still cool. highly humurous moments included a very long version of
Somebody Took My Eye culminating in linnell's freakishly delivered "We're not
leaving here til we determine who took my eye and what they want with it i only
had one to begin with goddamit" and flansburghs gorgeous rendition of coombya
(sp?) and 99 Bottles of Beer during Spy. all the new songs were played except
Thunderbird which is ok cuz im not crazy for that one... no horn section but in
keeping with tradition one of the roadies is named john

afterwards we were walkin back to my friends dorm and saw a small mob gathered
around a big picture window with no curtains where john and john had to eat.
passing up the oppertunity to make them really really uncomfortable we figured
it was best to move on. still, it was funny. that was about it... end of the
tour at the bowery, cya there!

Interesting... when I first heard this song I immediately got the image of
John and John kicking back inside with people being wankers and gawking at them
through the window.
