Right when I got to the club I got driections to a far
off Guitar Center. Grant (bass in F.G.C.) went with me to
repace a mic stand the I idiodically broke of Eric (Theramin/Vocals
in F.G.C.) After we picked it up I got a box from a nere
bye store and put the mic stand in with some of it sticking
out of the the side. Then at Hallmark I got him a ard, wrapped
the gift, filled it with tissue, and tapped a ballon to
it. Then back to the club to appoigise and present the gift
to Eric. Everything was forgive, we hugged and the national
anthem played softly in the back ground.
The club was cool, there was a toilet in the middle of the
back room where we were all hanging out. No, no, no I didnít
use it inn\ front of everyone, orrrrr well maybey I did.
The first two bands A.S.D. and Moot Point were great, and
cool guys. We hit the stage and yes, yes, yes, it was sad
that it was our last show. We were all so psyced to play,
and the Crush was there up front. We played our hearts out,
it was so fun. F.G.C. and Florez jumped the stage, with
fore they took us all down. Rondah a friend in the area
did the middle of ìShe Wonít Ever Figure It Outî, it was
cool. After, the show it was so crazy. The fact that tour
was at its end was saddening. However, First Grade Crush
hit the stage and we all went nuts. They played so great
and they went nuts. So, thankís to Chris, Eric, Grant, Dan,
Jeff, Kurt, Ryan and Fellcamp for a great fuckíen time.
At the end of the show we took pictures, said our good byes
and traded shit. It was kinda like the end of camp.
So Crush, itís been a real good time, you guys are so awsome
and the best to hang with.
Right now, itís 5:00pm we drove through the night and are
about 6 or 7 hours from Boston, from HOME. Weíre all getting
real excited and talking all about the last 4 weeks. Were
talking about first out week with The Sellouts and about
the Boston show were

Emergency evacuation of the room! We departed just a little
early from our hotel due to our toilet mimicking niagra
falls. So after our small flood, we said bye to johnny hotpants
and headed for the gateway to the west. We arrived in St.Louis
about 5 hours after departure and decided it would be a
great idea to kill an hour at the St.Louis Arch. It looks
so small from the highway but when your under it, itís a
whole new ballgame. we hung out in the museam, for a while
and unfortunately couldít take the tram to the top due to
time restrictions. What was most memorable was when we realized
we only had 1 picture left on the film, and we wanted all
of us with a view of the whole arch behind us. It was great
trying to position this shot. Rogan was lying down on the
sidewalk while the rest of us posed their waiting. But we
couldnít take the group shot without him, and the camera
would need to float steadily in mid air to get the shot.
One brilliant idea was to ask someone to take it for us.
But there was nobody willing to lie on the pavement to do
so for us. We stacked wallets, and then shoes planning to
use the timer, but neither would hold.with the camera. So
our final option was to sucker someone into taking it for
us. We posed once again and a french guy came up and asked
if he could help us we gladly accepted, told him the stipulations,
and the deed was done. I really doubt it will come out the
way Rogan imagined. But we had a lot of laughs anyway.
The club was down the street from there and we drove over.
FGC was there watching CKY2K when we arrived. I set up the
merch and went on to my daily task of tagging everything
in sight, and wallpapering the place with our stickers.

OK here we are waking up early to an impatient housekeeper
at the motel 6 (we forgot to put the do not distrurb sign
on the door so they were knocking all morning) FGC left
about a hour before us so we had to get going quick. We
met up with johnny hotpants again, (FIH street team) he
was going to follow us to memphis! We headed out for a long
drive after smoothies and bagels for breakfast, and arrived
hours later at ìthe last place on earthî right smack in
the memphis ghetto. A pretty metal looking club (cannibal
corpse had flyers there for their upcoming show) with an
abandoned car in the back lot. So immediately after exiting
the van we all jump on the car and start kicking, punching,
smashing, and breaking everything that was left on the car.
(donít worry we didnít start this, the windows were already
smashed and most of the remains were already destroyed.
Dave tried to smash a mirror off with Eric FGCís mic stand.
Lets just say the car won that battle. it was hard dragging
ourselves from the car but we went in to play a rockiní
show, while I was tagging everything I possibly could within
the club. I killed 2 markers, and used around 100 stickers
in this place. The show was great with kids freaking out
for us it was great. And just when we were about to pull
away from the club I discovered a can of spray paint and
we tagged every available inch of that beat up car. (weíll
post pictures when they get developed.)
We finally got away from the ghetto and headed for our nightly
hotel. Unfortunately the first one off the highway had about
15 police cars in front and all the cops were playing with
their dogs in the parking lot (you know those huge arm gloves
they put in so the dogs go nuts and attack themÖ) well that
was too sketchy for us so we went to the next one down the
road. Tennessee has been a very exciting place so far but
what lies ahead?Ö

SEAN P. ROGANíS BIRTHDAY
First he spent it doing an all night drive to Atlanta, and
at 6:00am Sean was woken up in the van to drive for about
four hours to a Motel 6. While everyone crashed in the 2í
x 2í hotel room, Steve, Jason and myself watched ANIMAL
PLANET (our favorite program on the road). The MTV movie
awards were also on. Man, Iím convinced that the most untalented
rule Hollywood. When showers were taken, we knocked on First
Grade Crushís door and we all went to down town Atlanta.
S & M shop after S & M shop after S & M shop, thatís Atlanta,
at least from what we saw of it.
So, we played at the 513 club, it was cool, cool, cool.
After, we celebrated Seanís birthday with the F.G.C. It
was crazy, weíll just say ski masks, big glasses, parked
taxi, Waffle House, and hmmm, well, trouble.
Dave
What better way to spend my birthday than with First Grade
Crush and the Big D crew? The show was another fun one,
too! The stage was very uneven, I think it was because Steve
broke it last time we played there! We also saw some cool
stuff in Hotlanta. Ted Turner field, home of the Atlanta
Braves, was my personal favorite. After hanging out in the
city and playing the show, Motel 6 was the site ofÖwell,
weíll just say the site of ìfunî. A good time was had by
all. Some good friends from Boston hung out with us too.
Thanks Aaron, Sharon and Klaus.
Weíre on our way to Memphis right now-home of The King!!!
Unfortunately, I donít think we have enough time to hit
Graceland this time. Weíre being accompanied by Johnny Hotpants,
a member of the Fork In Hand Street Team in Atlanta. We
all appreciate the effort put in by all the members of the
street Team! Well, thatís all for now. 2 more shows, then
weíll be back in Beantown! Rock on.

Well, we all went to the beach with First Grade Crush.
Now, that means 16 white ass dudes hitting the beach in
big shorts, and black shirts in hand. We swam, we dove,
6 of the Big D dudes did their synchronized swimming routine.
The water was so goodÖÖÖwait Iíll stop talking about that
yaíll might get mad. So, Iíll tell you that Paul is SOOOOOO
FUCKíEN SUNBURNED. I feel for him, red , red, red. The salt
water was good for all our show wounds. So, hmmmmmmmm four
days till weíre home. Donít forget to vote for us on the
Too-Hep Metalliska poll (www.toohep.com), we would appreciate
it. We went in a music store with F.G.C. and caused so much
trouble. Now weíre off to Tampa, then a 10 hour drive to
Atlanta. Ok, ok, ok talk to you later.

P.S. - check out the new Dirt Lip web site, get you the

We played at the Light Painter in Sarasota FL. Very, very
fun, First Grade Crush rocked. We had some old Big D fans
show up and met some other cool people. Dawn, a bad ass
from the area brought us to the beach after and we all swam
in the Gulf Of Mexico. It was so good, the water was warm,
we were the only ones on the beach, and the moon rocked.
However, Rogan stole my shorts while I was in the water.
Ya see, I ripped them off, wanting to swim naked in the
warm Florida Ocean (donít worry Iím just getting weird),
anyway when I left my shorts floating behind me Rogan stole
them. I figured they sank and continued swimming. However,
when the swim was over I, welllllllll gave the palm trees
an eyeful. Back at the hotel we hung out and watched Animal
Planet, ahhhhhhhh rest.

WAKE UP ---------- GO-CARTS - GO-CARTS-GO-CARTS -
The coolness of the air conditioned game room hit us hard
when we entered, with only thoughts of go-cart destruction
on our minds. We spread out to get a feel for the place.
No time for breakfast this morning: we had carts to break
and employees to panic. Take our 5 dollars and give us your
funny red ticket, but hurry, cause weíre already talking
shit to each other.
ìYouíre all dead,î I said.
ìIím after you, Dave!î laughed Steve, hot on my trail.
We entered our machines of speed and destruction, like Voltron
entered the five lions, like Michael Knight entered Kit,
like Force Five entered GuyKing, like Spike jumped in Bumble
Bee when Optimus Prime gave the call to transform. Click
of the belt, secured, ready, ready, ready. The smell of
gasoline, the anticipation to kick ass. RED LIGHT, YELLOW
LIGHT, GREEN , GREEN ,GREEN -----WE ARE OFFFFFFFF.
Steve and I were positioned in the back and even though
neither of us held first, we were the biggest pains in the
ass there ever were. Rogan, Jason, Flores, all held first
for awhile. The people working would shut off your car if
they thought you were being bad, but that didnít work out
for anyone cause Iím going full speed and see a helpless
Big Dír stranded. Well, weíll just say thatís when things
got real violent . . . Whiplash, Whiplash, Whiplash!
Finally, my car skidded out and Paul and Keith were nice
enough not to slam into me even though I was waving them
to. My car was stuck and it couldnít move, so I unsnapped
myself and had to use my feet to push out till I was free.
But, since my belt was off and my legs were now flopping
around, the ride was over, but we all had some good wholesome
fun.
Ok, off to eat and talking about GOCARTS 2000. Well, we
ate at a place next door to the GOCARTS that was delightfully
tacky yet unrefined. Yes, Yes, Yes it -IS-- SEAN FLORESí
21st birthday. Now Sean had never had an alcoholic beverage
sooooooooo at tonightís show he said he would check it out.
I think he did it for us, so we were soooooo excited. Food,
food, food, almost got in a fight with some trucker/biker
types. The problem started with four rednecks when I think
they got mad that the waitresses were saying, ìso like youíre
in a band, WOW thatís cool.î Then the waitresses said they
were going to go to the show that night buuuuut they didnít.
Now the Sapphire Supper Club in Orlando, FL is one of my
favorite clubs to play. Itís all ages and the set up of
the club is real cool. Hope youíll all get see it some time.
We saw an EMO band called PREFERRED 53 and they were really
good, check íem out. This show was especially fun. We drank
with Sean Flores for his birthday and, well, just had a
good time. Best First Grade Crush show Iíve seen on tour
yet. The Spitvalves also ROCKED. Our set was so fun, the
crowd was nuts--THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone
who enjoyed the show. During the show there were a lot of
new wounds introduced. After the manager Sandy from the
Spitvalves jumped on me, my right hand is just cut, cut,
cut up. Man, my foot, both elbows, and my right hand are
just fucked. To end the night, me, Sean Flores, Keith, Dan,
Jason, and Tiffany all got drunk at Keithís, to celebrate
Seanís 21st. We went to bed around 6:00am.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY FUCKIN BIRTHDAY SHAWN ----YOU FUCKIN ROCK
p.s. to anyone who doesnít know who Shawn is he makes all
the Fork In Hand merchandise. He keeps us afloat. He started
to make us stuff cause he would get mad that we never had
any t-shirts or patches or anything. We didnít have any
money to do anything, so he just showed up to a show with
patches and said here sell these. After that, Shawn and
I designed all the Big D, Drexel and Fork In Hand merch.
Without Shawn we would have no merch. Shawnís the BestÖÖÖÖÖ

OkÖÖÖ.today we played in Gainesville, FL at the Purple
Porpoise, right next to the-no kidding-the Lavender Mullet
Bar. That makes Florida the official Mullet Capital of the
World . . . weíre still looking for the Dirt Lip Capital
.
The show was real fun, the Spitvalves played and of course
the mighty First Grade Crush. We met a lot of cool people
at this show and the coolest may have been Road Dog. Now
Road Dog was a drunk trucker from Vegas. Him and his buddy
were whack! They let us mess up their rig and they gave
us a case of Gatorade. However, when Road Dog found out
we had a CB that was not attached he made it his mission
to rehook it up. So, while F.G.C. and us were hanging outside
the show with some others, Road Dog was busy ripping wires
out and hooking up our CB. When everything was done we went
to a Sketttchy diner with everyone, even Road Dog & companion.
On our way there we noticed that Road Dog broke our rear
air conditioning (note: weíre in Florida). But it was it
was ok, we fixed it, and we didnít fry. Food and water were
very interesting, it reminded me of the restaurant the Fratelliís
had in the flick The Goonies. Now, weíre off to Keithís.
Keith is a real cool guy who has done a lot to help Skif
Dank (a great Florida ska/punk band on Too-Hep records),
kinda like Flores has helped us.
SleeeeeeeeeeeeepÖÖÖÖÖÖ.

Still in HoustonÖstill hot. More good food from the Creek
Johnson family was eaten by all. Weíre heading to Bourbon
Street in New Orleans tonight. We have the night off so
weíre going to hang out with First Grade Crush and take
over the streets of New Orleans! Itís about 7 hours to Louisiana
and then another 5 or so to FloridaÖthanks Felcamp! A drive
from Boston to Northampton sounds nice right about now.
Weíve got ìComing to Americaî and ìThe Gooniesî lined up
for our viewing pleasure during the next van ride. ìRuth,
RuthÖBaby Ruth!!!î I guess thatís all for now. Weíve got
one more week left, then a lovely 24 hour drive home from
our last show in St. Louis to BostonÖthanks Felcamp! Rock
on.
Sean P. Rogan
p.s. - The show at the Oven was cool, it was small and
HOT. Chris from F.G.C. requested Apology and during the
mayhem the bartender jumped the bar and grabbed Jeff ( trumpet
in F.G.C. ) and tried to throw him out. Music stopped and
the bartender we told to Caaalllm Down. It was funny. We
also hung with Scott from Missile Command. I think weíre
on 3 or 4 hotel rooms now that are completely trashed and
I have all these cuts and bruises that I think might have
been from leaping off Grantís ( trombone in F.G.C.) shoulders
on to the the T.V. / bureau of the last hotel. The bureau
was full of shit, cans, bottles, and more, fun, fun, fun.
Anyway, Texas, YA itís a real cool place . . . Punk-rockers
and cowboys, how can you go wrong?

Were we glad to get to Houston! We got to stay with the
most wonderful Sinclair family! For those of you familiar
with Drexel, The Sinclairís are Creek Johnsons parents and
boy are they some of the most wonderful people we have ever
encountered in our lives. We didnít have a show today but
thatís ok because Mrs. Sinclair made us Fajitas and let
us swim in the pool and all sorts of wild crazy stuff. She
bet Jason $20 he couldnít figure out how to turn on the
tv, but that Jason is one smart cookie, and he sure enough
figured it out. Props Jason! We also ate some of the best
cake we had ever tasted. Iíll post the recipe later on.
After the feasting we all piled into bed for some well deserved
rest. More to come!

Anyway, back to the rock. We played at a place called
the Ridglea theatre, it was awesome. We played with a band
called Whereís Arnie, they rocked. The theatre was awesome
because they projected big pictures behind us when we played.
They put up a giant moon behind us and it looked like big
d made some crazy moon landing. Dave kept making shadow
puppets between songs, the kid is talented, let me tell
you. The show was great and the kids were awesome. Flores
got a texas haircut while we were there. Paul had been raving
about them ever since arizona, but Flores didnít seem to
think it was all that and a bag of chips. Other highlights
of the evening included my victory over bush in a game of
pool and Grant of FGCís almost victory over Stoppelman.
Over all the evening was a success so we piled in the van
for the 10 hour drive to Houston, thanks felkamp.

Greetings! after mesa arizona, we charged ahead into more
desert towards Albequerque, New Mexico. Having been reunited
with First Grade Crush, we were all in high spirits and
ready to attack the southwest with much fury. The drives
have been crazy, thanks felkamp, and there is a phenomenon
I would like to discuss, not to get off the subject of rock,
but check this out. There are 9 people in the van, 9. Thatís
a lot of people. you would think that out of 9 people at
least one person would have the courtesy to relieve the
driver since it is 3a.m. and the driver deserves a break.
This never happens. What happens is this. We all pretend
that we are asleep, have no idea that we stopped and hardly
EVER volunteer to drive until we realize that if no one
drives, we arenít going to go anywhere and be stuck at a
really sketchy truck stop for a few hours. This is usually
when someone pipes up and says *&#%&#@(, Iíll drive. So
tonight we played a place called the cellar on the university
of new mexico campus. Pre show highlights include Dan getting
busted for skateboarding and having the campus cop threaten
to call his parents to come pick him up, and Eric from FGC
letting me play with his theremin, which is a crazy instrument
that you should all check out if you havenít heard of it
already. FGC played incredibly, like the madmen they are,
including a new trumpet player and drummer, Jeff and Kurt
respectively. We played our rock n roll, cheered on by flores
and the FGC posse, then piled in the van for the 10 hour
drive to FT. Worth, thanks felkamp.

Weíve been San Joseíd second day in a row. After a nice
stay at my brotherís apartment I was reunited with the rest
of big d. My bro and I went to Fryís electronics (the computer
store of computer stores!!!!!!) to get the right adapter
for our digital camera to give you guys updated tour pictures,
but we had no luck so far. Afterwards we drove to the Asian
Man Office A.K.A. Mikeís garage. From there we kidnapped
Mike, Steve Chinkees and Steve Link 80 and went to Taco
Bravo for a most delicious meal.
Back at Skipperís house now everyone been swimming, jumping
off the roof into the pool, swimming, more jumping and a
little jumping. We are departing for the show soon. Bush
is the official winner of the ping pong tournament beating
every single opponent with a shut out. He even beat me with
his eyes closed for the entire game.
Our show tonight was awesome. The Asian Man crew came
out to support us as did our families and friends. Cassie
and Ann from western Mass, our friend Keith from Florida
and Enrique from Boston all gave us surprise visits. It
was great to see so many people from across the country
at our show. We played with two great bands Corrosive 8
and Short round.
After the show we packed up the van and split town for
Vacaville, CA, home of Christopher Bush and family. After
being attacked by Sugar, the vicious watch dog we all fell
asleep. That wraps up our experience today. Donít forget
to catch up with us tomorrow.

Hello Everyone,
So, whatís new for today? Well we played a kick ass show
in Anaheim last night with some great local bands, Suburban
Legends and more. Anaheim proved that the scene is still
going strong in LA. We embarked on our Journey up north
to San Jose. It was a long journey involving cards, chips
salsa, two bloody noses, 15 pee breaks and an emergency
stop on the side of the highway to allow me to puke the
chips and salsa up. Thankfully we keep a trashcan in the
van with us. Once we arrived at Skipperís Padreís abode
we began the BBQ. We were reunited with our long lost brethren
Christopher D. Sallen, and we met up with our Mentor Mike
Park and Mia from Asian Man, Steve from the Chinkees and
Adam from Monkey (great traditional ska from Northern CA.)
Everyone had a blast, and the ping pong tournament is going
to be continued tomorrow.

Hey, hey everyone,
After that most of the guys crashed, some stayed awake
in the AMAZING hotel 6 (acctually a piece of crap room).
Jason and myself went to talk to some truckies that were
hanging out. We shot the shit, showed tatoos and discused
how much a kick ass cab would cost. Now, did you know that
for $200,000 you can have a cab (Truckerís cab) with a T.V.,
VCR, sink, shower, kitchen, washer and dryer, and more more
more. Pretty crazy huhÖÖÖÖÖ.Our friend Tom had some of those
extras in his truck and also drives a two rig. Now ,thatís
two trailors, I can barrly back up the van with the trailor.
Around 3:00am Jason and I noticed a mountain behide the
hotel, itís a platoe or butte. (a buttes are those mountains
in cowboy and indian movie) The Buttle was real big, we
climed and climed and finally got to the top. The view looked
out so far over Wyoming, it was extremly beautiful. The
moon was crescent orange and the only thing we could hear
were crickets. Jason and I sat on a small overhang at the
top of the buttle, it hung over the most amazing view.
Later that morning, we went to a Firework store, called
ìJolly Jacksî. We all bought some, later youíll hear something
bad Iím sure. Anyway, when we got to our show in Ogedn Utah
there were about 7 men outside trying to shut the show down.
After some time the show was cancelled, something about
the niebors and wo dudes that were living in the venue were
being evicted so there was to be ìNO SHOWî. People showed
up though, so we hung out talked about everything. Later
John and Luke brought some food by, actually two six foot
subs, chips, and sodas. John and Luke set up the show, and
hey THANKS FOR THE FOOD it realy helps. I was inpressed
with everyone there, they stuck around and a lot of people
new Fork In Hand and the bands on the lable. In all EVERYONE
there real cool, real cool. Now weíre headind tword L.A.,

Hey, hey everyone,
On the 29th Big D played an insane show at the Fireside
Bowl in Chicago with The Sellouts, River City Rebels, Entertainment
and First Grade Crush. The show was CRAZY, everyone was
nuts, and the girls were awesome. ERIC (theremin/vocals)
from First Grade Crush had a party afterwards that left
many us waking up sprawled out on the kitchen floor or sleeping
in closets. Ericís house is always big fun and big trouble
at the same time. The next morning Steve got a new Tattoo,
Chris and Paul accidentally went to a baseball game and
the rest of us watched Animal Planet, our channel of choice
out on the road. Later, FGC, Sellouts, and Big D played
a great show at The Corral just outside of Chicago in Western
Springs. Water--like always--spilled everywhere and we all
CRASHED and CRASHED and CRASHED the whole set. We had a
blast, though, and sold tons of naked pictures of Bush.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WENT TO BOTH SHOWS, WE REALLY APPRECIATE
IT!!!
That night, the SELLOUTS and BIG D--17 of us in all--stayed
in two smmmaaaaalllll single motel rooms. Again, it always
ROCKS when we get to hang out with the SELLOUTS. Even though
we had two rooms we all partied in one room and had to stack
all the furniture to fit us all. Today, MONDAY the 31st,
weíre starting our drive to Utah. Weíll be in Ogden on Wed.
for our next show. So thatís all for now. THANKS EVERYONE

Hey, hey everyone,
Well, Day One and Day Two of Big D and The Kids Tableís
July - August tour has been nothing but GOOD OLD TROUBLE.
This morning before Marc was fully awake Steve shaved him
up a red (D.R.I./Suicidal Tendencies) MO-HAWK. So far weíve
driven 18 hours, to play at The Intersection in Grand Rapids
Michigan. The bill is Big D and The Kids Table, First Grade
Crush, and Mustard Plug, should be good. The tour has had
one draw back - Steve has been crying for his mother continuously
and Paul has been screaming for his ìblankieî. However,
donít worry weíll have them smiling soon. Last night we
got a one person room at some SHITTY hotel called TALLYHO-tel.
We snuck all 9 of us in the shit box, and had to stack all
the furniture on the TV and bureau just to make room. AHHH,
we just saw a sign for Fireworks and everyoneís pooling
their money together, youíll probably see a later update
of one of us in jail for arson or learning to get by with
7 fingers. OK, OK I guess that is all for the dayÖÖÖ.talk

excited about our upcoming summer tour with our friend First
Grade Crush. Please check out the "shows"
section of our website to find out cities, dates and venues
of the tour. Most of the shows are all ages, so everyone
can come out! Before we hit the road, we'll be keeping
busy in the northeast.
Also, thanks
to everyone who has supported the Too Hep Records release
"Metalliska" with our version of "Iron Maiden"
by Iron Maiden on it. There's a lot of great bands
on the compilation and a lot of great covers! That's
all for now, keep checking the website for updated information.
Rate "She
Won't Ever Figure It Out" on a scale of 1-5 (5
is highest), as
well as tracks from 4 other upcoming Boston bands, at this
site:

Thanks for the support!
Rock on!
