Usually this is left in note form, on the nightstand, but sweet anyway.

Actually, he did. Not even joking. Licked his finger.

Ask me again in a year or two. I need some time to process that shit. It was fucking awesome though. Weirdest and most intense show I may have seen in my entire life, and I've been fed a live worm at a concert before. That says something.

The last couple of days have been the strangest, most complicated, most taxing and most wonderful of my entire life. It hurts so fucking bad to have to say goodbye to my dear Residents, but the show they put together for us on this tour was specifically designed to help me and my faithful Rezhead brothers let go.
The first time I ever saw them, on the Demons Dance Alone tour in 2002, the show was structured to assist the viewer in processing and accepting the terrorist attacks a year before. The Wonder of Weird tour was a love letter to their most devout followers; an acknowledgement of the enormous hole that their departure will leave in some of our lives, and a reassurance that, although they will soon be gone, their legacy will stand tall long after they have left the stage for good.
There was one song that I needed -- needed it -- and in the couple of weeks before the show I told Stormy that all I could ever ask for would be to have 'Mahogany Wood' be the last song I ever heard the Residents perform. And it was.
Friday night's show at the Nepchune was the single greatest show I have ever seen. By the end of it I was turned completely inside out. I just stood there, shaking and sobbing, and when I was finally able to turn around it was to see more than a dozen of the people that I love most in this world. The Residents mean more to me than anything in this world except for my beautiful wife, and the love and support that I received from my friends is what made it possible for me to stay on my feet and make my way to the street, into a cab, and home.
It is important to me to acknowledge the tireless assistance of two of the dearest, most important people in my life. Burrito and Nadine took us into their home, allowed us to become incredibly silly into the VERY late hours (several times), and then unquestioningly transported us from Seattle to Portland, from Portland to Seattle, and then back from Seattle to Portland again as we adjusted our plans to accommodate the Residents modified tour schedule. Without them, we would have missed at least one and possibly both shows after the Residents got stuck in South Dakota on Thursday. They are amazing people; they went WAY above and beyond to make sure this thing happened. Love you dudes, so much.
For more than a decade, I have gone through life deeply concerned that the Residents would outlive me, and that I would miss the final statement that they would decide to make to cap their career. I no longer have that concern; it is a relief, but it also makes me unbearably sad. They have held me up and comforted me for so long and I don't know what I will do without them, but the image that they left us with was so beautiful and profound, such a perfect acknowledgement of the place that they occupy in my heart, that I know I'll eventually be alright.
As Randy, the Singing Resident, said just before the show closed: we just keep marching forward, putting one foot in front of the other, always moving ahead to see what comes next. That has been the philosophy which has guided the Residents from one endeavor to the next for the last four decades, and it is now the crumpled and smudged set of instructions I and my fellow Rezheads have been left to follow as the Residents -- those shadows flickering on the walls of the cave -- fade from view as the fire dwindles.
God bless those ridiculous old bastards.

From Randy's blog:
Quote:| Hey Everybody! We’re still here! Well, not here anymore - this was the Nepchune Club where we played our makeup show in Seattle. Amazing venue and good show except for this ONE TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS ASSHOLE WHO WOULD NOT SHUT UP! Jeez, there’s never a .357 Magnum around when you need one, but I guess blowing a turd’s head off from the stage would be kind of uncool, but I can dream. The night before was the Hawthorne Theater in Portland and the less said about that the better. What a dump! Good crowd, though. Meanwhile we MADE IT TO FRISCO where we play Bimbo’s tonight. We’re rolling now! |

At all seven Residents shows I have seen, there has been some wasted/tripping/belligerent dickhole shouting at the stage through the entire performance; six out of seven times, the Singing Resident has graciously ignored and soldiered on with the show. The heckler in Seattle was so persistent and so extremely fucking rude that eventually Randy stopped what he was doing long enough to say 'Eat shit, fucker.' It was pretty satisfying.

Whoa. I wonder if it was the batshit crazy fucking psycho that was freaking out the bartenders and gathering a crowd of security guards while Nick and I were buying a beer. It was quite an obnoxious spectacle.

I thought that guy was gonna get tazed. I've never seen the security guards look that anxious at the Nepchune before.

Seriously. I haven't been there in years because I basically swore I'd never be back. It's one of three venues in town I can't walk to, so when I tried to f.igure out how to get there on the bus, the public transit website couldn't recognize the destination because the address on their website is wrong. I wandered around downtown looking for a bus to get there for an hour. I almost missed the beginning of the show.
One of many reasons I hated that place is because they used to have two bathrooms, but closed the bathroom to the right of the main stage several years ago. That left one men's room located near the ticket stand, with 1.5 toilets. It was always an enormous cluster fuck, because everyone else was trying to enter at the same location. I've waited 20 minutes to take a leak before.
To their credit, they now have three toilets, so the line is less of a cluster. I still hate that venue. They should update their website with the correct address.
