Detroit, MI - The Wired Frog
Me, Jessika, Rick, Tom, and Don got there first in line at around 9 am or so, since there was no pre-sale. We waited and waited and eventually got inside. We had to sit in the lobby for a few hours, and there was a lot of people and a little bit of room. Evnetually through the glass we could see F81 setting up. We had an inside joke with Kevin and they wouldn't let us bring it in because it was "outside food" so we had to leave it in our car. I wrote "Cold Speghettios" on a piece of paper and had security bring it to Kevin. He read it and jumped up and ran over to us. I told him we couldn't bring the speghettios inside so he took me outta the lobby and we went in back and got them outta my friends car. He was excited, and we talked, and he told me to meet him after the show by the bathrooms. Before Emotep we seen Kevin and talked to him some more, and we talked to Nate some. After Emotep (who did really good) we found Kevin again and we talked to him. Than Arizing came out (also really good) and we talked to Nate for a bit after that. My friend Rick took his eye out for Nate, and Nate loved that so he asked Rick to be in his upcoming movie and got Rick's phone number. It was funny.
Than Factory 81 came out. We watched from by the audio booth, and it was an awesome show. They had the big old red banner up and they had this little stage and 600 people crammed around. They played all new songs, except for "Peace Officer" and "Nanu" at the end of the set. Members of Arizing helped sing back up on "Peace Officer." The 9 new songs they played were amazing. Nate played with a puppet of his, and talked a lot about his views on September 11th and feminism. Kevin had our can of speghettios on his amp. Than during "Nanu" we walked in back by the bathrooms, and just walked in the back to watch the rest of "Nanu". It was awesome to see from behind, and the people going nuts. Than Kevin told us to go ahead and walk around on stage after the set. We talked to Andy and Bill for a lil bit, they were busy though. Kevin took some pictures with us on stage to "go on the site." Nate's chinese shirt was laying on the floor and I asked to try it on but he was like "NO WAY!" but he offered me some coffee (I said no) so it was okay. Than we went on the floor and my friend Rick and Kevin ate the speghettions while I took picures, and Tom held the can. It was funny. Kevin made me try some, and it wasn't half bad. Than we said bye and left. Best Factory 81 show I seen.
