WHOA! That whole cop story was CRAZY! I’ve seen thoose ducks in Walla Walla they are not to be trusted, not even for a bit. I saw a mother duck and her babies, but the babies were a different color – date duck rape. What a pitty.
I’m glad you got home in one peice with out without the harrasment of a dumb cop. Maybe he was hungry and the donut shop was closed?

I could totally see how working as a cop would make you paranoid like that. God. When I got a speeding ticket five years ago, the guy similarly got harshly on my case for not pulling over fast enough. I don’t know maybe young guys get this reaction more? I can see why that would be true.

woah.
total mind fuck. weird he didn’t give you a ticket.
i got a ticket for not carrying proof of insurance a little too recently. then i went to court to explain that yes i did have insurance just not proof. apparently since oregon is so poor the judges aren’t allowed to excuse these tickets anymore. so my ticket was pretty much for the same amount as if i didn’t have insurance at all. also the judge talked to me like he was doing me a favor because i am a complete idiot and he was the wise fair man.
mind fucks are better than tickets.

I hate these kinds of stories. They ferret out the little bit of hope that hides in the recesses of my brain and smash it.
On a funnier note, has anyone seen super troopers? It’s really stupid, not really in a good way, but there are a couple of parts that are fucking funny enough to warrant the fucking part.

Last night, a cop approached me and my friend, with his hand on his gun, had us sit with are hands on the car, in plain view, and performed a background check on both of us….FOR JAY-WALKING!!!!
Then, he was like: “Ya know, I’d rather be stopping people with drugs, and weapons, instead of Jay-walkers, so don’t do it again.”
It was a stupid experience.

I think maybe one of the DIs was put only through the monitor mix, and the other came only through the PA?
but that doesn’t explain the weird clipping and compression and occasional distortion.
Ritchey, I am going to have someone mount an effort to change how the sound crew is hired to make sure that people are competent. Could you provide me with a statement verifying that the sound was in fact very bad, and that it negatively impacted your experience? This was one of the worst examples, but it’s been a problem at literally every show this year and enough people are riled up about it to do something about it.

Actually, you could hear Rob’s backup vocals so much louder than your singing, dearest m. Also, we did not have the ac on in the night. In fact, your “hot vents” or whatever were ripping. You, however, do have liquid nitrogen in your veins helping you to be deathly cold at all times.
