A Sunny Day in Glasgow

craziest shit ever!  ever ever!  so we played at Johnny Brenda’s tonight and it was a great show from what I recall.  I was hanging out backstage with Colin from Remote Islands when we heard this loud explosion sounds.  We looked out onto Frankford Ave. to see this TRACTOR-TRAILER SEMI MONSTER TRUCK thing careening down Frankford.  Sadly, the band van was parked on this street and this truck rammed the car parked behind us and then dragged both of the cars about 100 feet before it broke free and continued down the street, hitting more cars.  It’s crazy too, because it was going slow enough for me to run out of JB’s and catch up to it as it was dragging our van.  I started jumping up and down, screaming at the guy “STOP THE TRUCK YOU CRAZY FUCK!!!” over and over, and he definitely made eye contact with me as he was dragging these cars.  But yeah, eventually he stopped and ran for it.  Totally insane.  I’ve really never seen anything like that.  It was kind of funny when the police got there and asked me if I had seen him.  Then they pulled out the guy’s driver’s license and asked if he looked like that.  We all laughed.  Sigh…

But yeah, we drove the van home, no word if it’s totalled or not- dragging a parked car 100 feet or so can’t be good.  Also, we can’t open the back to load equipment anymore.  But we’ll get to the Union Hall next Saturday one way or another.

be safe everyone.  and when your truck driving friends want to drive home after the bar, punch them in face or something.

grab ya face,
