“Skeletons in the Closet Tour 2009” – October 14th, Victoryville, California
By: Derrick Nau of Skeletonwitch
Oh Victorville. How I loathe thee. We have played in Victorville a total of three or four times I think. It is always at the Karma and it always sucks. The place is more of a night club than a rock ‘n’ roll/metal venue. In fact, usually the shows end up early so the place can actually turn into a night club.
I mean “Little Black Dress Night” is advertised on the marquis, not the bands playing there. Their priorities are clear. Oh, and did I mention that the place is way too big?
That being said, the crumminess of the place isn’t really the fault of the people who work there or the kids (the few) that come to the show. I think it’s just the curse of Victorville and the Karma and perhaps that curse is lifted (or perhaps BDM just draws really well) cause tonight ended up being a good show and the best we’ve ever had in ol’ Victorville.
There is an Asian restaurant next door called Kinari that I always go to. Maybe you’ve gathered by now, I love Asian food. I think I need to find a hot little Asian lady and marry her. Any takers? I got spicy sweet basil noodles with veggies and tofu which was pretty awesome. Unfortunately, the catering was also from Kinari, so I ended up paying for the exact same thing that we were provided later. D’OH!
Something funny happened to us on the way here from San Diego. We were stopped at a Love’s truck stop for gas and grub and what not. There was this crazy desert guy who came out and was talking (kind of) to us.
He saw our tour passes and exclaimed, “which one of you is the Children of Bodom?”
“Uhhh, none of us man,” I said grudgingly.
Immediately he started belting out White Zombie lyrics and yelling “YEEEEAH!”
The folks who work at Love’s noticed he was being a nuisance (right after he tried to stab Evan with one of those disposable flossing devices with the pointy end and stood right behind me and starting screaming more) and made him leave the premises.
On his way out, he declared, “I am Lady Gaga’s father!” and busted into his own version of Paparazzi: “My boys wearing black in the desert / fuckin’, fuckin’ stupid!”
I guess he didn’t like us much.

Я "заявка кредит карты" здесь для того, чтобы собрать дань "вклад весна" и отдать несколько долгов.
Никогда точно не "Красное и черное" знаешь, что ждет тебя впереди, особенно когда приходится выполнять такие "Путь в себя. Игры обыденной жизни" непростые поручения.
Я обеспечу тебе прикрытие, атакуя, "Дизайн-протест дизайн-провокация" так сказать, главные ворота.
Большинство "условия размещения вкладов" поступлений летело в стоявшую тут же, под рукой, "Российские генералиссимусы и генерал-фельдмаршалы" корзину для "Замки гнева: Роман" бумаг, но некоторую часть Вишенка откладывала для более подробного "Дьявол носит Prada" изучения.
Сейчас один из пяти был в "Тесты по русскому языку 1 кл" поту, другой периодически заходился кашлем.
Но не надейся, что это будет очень скоро.
