IF YOU DONT KNOW:
pigstock was a huge ass show we played pigstock10.com
SPECIAL THANKS!
Hey there, i wanted to thank everone on the front page but, it'll take up so much space ill give the shit its own page, (I have to thank every single person that came because of us because they kick ass!!)Extra super fuckin special thanks to Clancy, Jake, Tommy, Jacklyn, Jessica C. and R. , Josh (fatman), everyone that helped out in anyway they could, Gracie, Jeanette, Mike (you crazy asshole!) and your two friends, Bob N., That black dude and his friend in iowa (with out you guys we wouldnt have played!)Jackie, Felicia, Lori, Kathy, Hyzny, dude at the back gate(4got your name all i remember is ur 16 and i got u some food, himsa and remembering never for being cool, that one sound guy, that helped us out, all the people in the mall that bought a ticket,and im sure im forgetting someone..so lemme know! (I havent slept in a day or two -fuckin tired!)
NO THANKS!
Robbie!-the guy everyone laughs at behind his back-i know you helped us out and im grateful but the way you run things and treat poeple, something aint right. i know your sick of people bitching but thats because you give them reason to-running a show like this is a big deal, but to tell bands like us that are helping put food on your fuckin table to basically fuck off when u couldve laid down basic shit ahead of time so we wouldnt be buggin you, and then, u basically made a street team out of local bands-thats the promoters job, granted the band is supposed to promote, but for all the crazy asshole bands that pulled it off, we all got stiffed-most of us didnt even leave with our dignity-you got us hauling our shit through the crowd to that goofy ass stage that no one but the people we bring will see, i guarentee the locals all lost money somehow at this show, and networkin? i couldve paid 25 bucks for my own damn ticket and get the same effect by passing out some cds and saved a mass amount of headaches, but you can always say to me,"then why the fuck 'd u do the show?" ---For the love of music,man , i know it sounds cheesy, but all you seem to love is money*
THE STORY:
Wow, I should fuckin write "PIGSTOCK, the novel", but robbie'd probly sue me-anyway if ur game, hers my story 4 whats it wor...ah fuck it , enough bush beating,,,hmmm..anyway-it begins at my hearing of pigstock in iowa that i heard of through a band we played with out in bumblefuck il. (rio, il-yes it does exist, do not go there-they have no clue how to make a fuckin cheeseburger) anyway i check it out seems legit, so i ask robbie how to get on this bill, he said sell 75 tickets, i actually thought we could move them (my bad-doh! i wouldve saved so many people so many headaches) but he says you have to pre- purchase the tickets- im like whathefuck? theyre 25 each so thats a pretty penny, you buy them in increments of 25 the band talked it over families everyone, alot of people thought it was a dumb fucking idea and it was but wesiad fuck it, well be on the bill with almost all of ozzfest! (yeah, all-right, whoo-whoo!....shit) so we scramble tother $675 for 25 tickets+ 50 $ wiring fee-wiring money sucks-dont do it. and we try selling them naturally we tried all sorts of promotion....nothing so finally it was all up to our "loyal" fans granted we do have some kick-ass loyal awesome fans but they are few and far betwwen, so we force all these great people to buy some tickets even if they dont like this kind of music(we hate selling fuckin tickets! but gotta pay our dues) not to mention we had a quota of 20 tickets to sell for our 602 north show the week b4, which we sold 13 because people are assholes! but thanks mom and dad u guys are great(they were about the only ones that arent our regulars to come through-ne way if u dont want to go to a show please dont dick us around and say ull go and then shit comes up just tell us to fuck off-its alot better than losing money when u couldve got ur lazy ass up to help us out just a bit(sorry just angry at the world-and robbie i know ur gonna throw that shit in my face "see-how do you like it when people dont do what they say" i say fuck it tomorrows another day but its alot easier to pay 6 bucks and travel 20 min. than $25+ for 3 hours anyway were dropping the robbie subject its old and boring now...moving on, so we barely sell our measely 25 pigstock tickets, we sold like 3...were in some serious shit-i explain to robbie (damn, still talking about him, from now on-hes referred to as HIM, less letters and i hate that name! so anyway i explain to HIM, ya know we fucked up, i sthere ne thing to do, we didnt sell many tickets and if we dont play, those people aint going either and were in the hole 700 bucks(borrowed money from some people not even in the band (uh-oh!) so he's pissed because i said id sell 75 but didnt and says ill cut you a deal , pay 500 bucks and you can play --FUCK THAT! 700+500=1200 + gas, etc for shitfest? and on that shitty ass stage?(wait that euation minus whatever we sell, i want this story as accurate as possible, best case secario with that deal--500 bucks shelled out to play for 25 people, when we can play for more and actually get money over here (DOH!) no deal, think of something else-we cant scalp what we didnt sell if we dont play thatd be alot of trouble to go see a show-so we thought, since this is going to be suck a pain in the ass, we might as well get on the bill. mike our crazy ass bass player who already threw in 250 throws in another 250 + 50 in previous sales-this is 3 days b4 pigstock, mind you, and well drive to iowa and sell tickets, hopefully the locals didnt beat us to it, i call HIM and ask if we bought 500 bucks worth of tickets in 2 parts 250 +250 he didnt want to do this, he just wanted 500 dollars in exchange for no tickets-so we wouldnt even get a chance to make that shit back, so finally i talked him in to the buying tickets the day b4 idea........next paragraph
from now on most everythingll be in time order for simpilcity sake(huh? kepp reading, ull figure it out)
thurs morning 2am we load up our shit just incase we can meet this $500 ticket quota an have to play
3am leave for davenport iowa
6am finally get there
drive around almost fall asleep in mall parking lot get booted by mall cop (at this point were all fucking crazy after no sleep and realizing the shit were in
9am-find rest area sleep(at least try to)
11am wake up-buy $250 worth of tickets
12pm- got hotel room
1pm-go to mall find out everyone knows about pigstock, give out numbers to call. no one does already run into a few bands trying to sell thier tickets, run around the whole fucking town-this cow has been milked dry!
2pm got 2 tickets off..meanwhile at home mikes trying to get rid of the original 25 now that were "confirmed for playing"
6pm got a few more off then eat sanwiches and get quite sick and pass out due to lack of sleep
8pm wake up-go back to mall last resort start selling cheaper-losing money get a few off we get money from atm for my brothers tickets, then just when we thought shit was bout to end black dudes friend came through with the save(we needed to pay the remianing 250 tonite, duh!) we get the money call HIM's ass up and go out to *-asshole smelly town-----* where he lives, another 1/2 hour away to pick up the rest of the tickets. we get there, wait a little while, it smells so bad over there anyway were confirmed on the bill and ready to sell in the morning.....party lil bit with band we met at the mall (e-mail me dude forgot the name, i was drunk, lemme know ur website and ill make a link!) ne way get to bed after watching this fucked up steven king movie at like 2am oh yeah the time order thing!
friday-10am wake up call! godbless motel 6! we wake up at like 12(what? were slow!) try to sell this shit, we sell 1 at the mall, mike at home sold all but 2
12pm-get to pigstock try selling, no takers--every1 has tickets and has been asked 5 different times by 5 diff bands "u need tickets?" so were fucked on our 2, 3 hundred gotta make the best of it, check out the sights and sounds, but after i call HIM where we should park and set up he said over there and when we play bring our car up, after trying to figure out wher th fuck i could possible pull up, the parking lot is half blocked off by tour buses and shit, where we were nicely parked-i see HIM and ask where exactly can i park and how to get around to--but he interupts me and says "don't ever fucking ask me that question again, i dont have time for this shit." I shouldve punched him in his girly rob schnieder looking face right there, but im a sissy and we still at least wanted to play this fucked up show and not get arrested
1pm-we find out we dont have a crappy slot we play at 6
