Show Journal 1998-12-18
The Rendezvous is a weird place. The restaurant is gross, the bar is seedy, the bathroom is raunchy and the stage is weird. Imagine a skinny theater with lounge seating and then attach a restaurant to the side of it. Very strange place. Anyway, a bad omen was in the air tonight. The band that was supposed the promote the show and put up flyers never showed. I won’t mention any names, but it wasn’t Ample and it wasn’t Section One, and because of their negligence hardly anyone showed up. If that wasn’t enough Section One’s bass player never showed up and they were forced to cancel as well. So it was just us and Ample playing in this weird little club. It still turned out to be pretty fun despite the low turnout. The show had it’s moments (the kitchen sink!), but the highlight of the whole night was the tale of Dave’s encounter with a homeless man in the bathroom who proclaimed “I only have to piss but once a week .. and when I do… there ain’t no stopping me.” After that he proceeded to urinate all over himself and the bathroom floor and walls.
