Last night was a rock and rollers wet dream. I went to Catbirds with Megan, Tricia, and Sara(h?). So I get thirsty and walk up to the bar to buy a beer. The dude next me looks up and says, "Hey". Being polite I nod in his general direction. Then he says, "Hey, I'm the bassist in the band Slipknot. I'm in town for one day for Buzzfest. Have you heard of my band?" I had and said so.
I should now explain that I have a weakness for bands. You have a small group of people traveling alone across the country for months at a time. They don't know anyone, and rarely have friends outside the band. If I see a member of a band (any band from any genre) that is on tour and looks like he/she wants to party....I will oblige.
So I invite Paul, the bassist for Slipknot, over to our table. Ok, let me describe Paul...he is bald, with 4-6 missing front top teeth. He stands about 5'6" tall and has a prominent stutter.
This is where the massacre started. He questioned my sexuality twice, once with Megan and once with Sara(h?), he claimed his band has a toilet trained Australian monkey that can play five chords from one of their songs, a bird eating tarantula that is two feet from end to end, and a seven foot chameleon. He also hit on Megan, told Sara(h?) she was gorgeous, offered to put Sara(h?) on the Buzzfest guest list and said, "I hate that girl from Will and Grace because she has no tits".
Then he went to pee.
A girl sitting at another table ran over and said, "Dude...I don't know what he told you but he is NOT the bassist for Slipknot. This guy [shows us a picture on a camera phone], is Paul from Slipknot. He is like 7 feet tall with long goth black hair. He pulled this shit on a friend of mine who had to call the cops to get him off my friends couch". So...we ditched Paul from Slipknot.
I found out this morning Slipknot was in Denver last night.
God...it's fun to say Slipknot.
