I fucking love it that Marty changed his clothes in the bar. You haven't lived till you've been naked on a beer soaked bar room floor. Just fucking awesome! Thanks so much for sharing that. Christopher PS If more of us would do that every once in a while the world would be a much better place. -----Original Message----- From: seance@lists.no-fi.com [mailto:seance@lists.no-fi.com] On Behalf Of Salonen@aol.com Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 3:11 PM To: seance@lists.no-fi.com Subject: Martygate - please let me entertain you In a message dated 1/18/02 2:45:41 PM Pacific Standard Time, night_of_light@yahoo.com writes: Now if someone could email me the details of Martygate >>Denise climbs under her desk and cringes whispering "Please God, no."<< Ok, I know you wanted this done privately Tara, but in case anyone else wants to know here it is. Seriously, let me sum it up quickly and fairly I think. Really folks, I can do this. And for the love of ALL that is holy, PLEASE don't flame me again. : D Date: Sept. 14, 1999 Location: Coach House, Santa Barbara, CA Players: The Church, some really shitty opening bands, Denise, Cathy and friend Alex, plus waaaaay too many children at said club. Children = bed at that hour. Background: Church plays OK show at crappy club. Members alternately seem to be in pissy moods/good moods. Marty hangs out at bar. Changes clothes at bar. Denise finds this really tacky. Denise freely admits she is uptight about this and has issues with undressing at bars. ; ) Denise can't handle bad opening bands. Starts to drink. Denise rarely if ever drinks. Obvioiusly Denise not having a great night. Church have some problems with sound and/or equipment on stage. Church not having great night. Marty kicks mike into audience, almost hitting girl standing in front of Denise. Walks off in a huff. Denise finds this immature. Steve looks mortified and angry. Show over. Intermission States of mind and location of players after show: Steve: Backstage, smoking, staring straight ahead looking like he wishes he was anywhere but there, while a strange little man named Mavis babbles on in his ear. Pete: Talking amiably to someone to Denise's left. Tim: Disappeared. Marty: Later, in kitchen, loaded and talking to Denise, saying some really, dark, nasty things. Won't go into it. Nihilistic "I'm drunk" kind of shit. Marty and Denise almost come to blows at the front door when Denise stupidly tries to tell Marty it was a good show and also tells him he needs a tranquilizer. He obviously is very drunk and not too pleased and blurts out that he needs sex. Denise apparently irritates Marty (ok, at this point, yeah, she was probably trying to), they trade barbs and Denise drives back to L.A. very pissed at Marty's behaviour. Marty goes home with some girl who lost her earring on the floor and left a nasty plate of nachos on Denise and Cathy's table. Denise thinks less of both Marty and herself for such idiotic behaviour now. Moral of story: Don't unload your really bad Church experience on the Seance list. Denise doth offend some people. Now it is all ancient history. Stupidity at its finest. It all seems so silly now. Denise WON'T be talking to any of the Church guys at the next shows, never fear. Denise (now tired of talking about herself in third person.)
