"the first one that comes to mind was in Athens, Ohio. i think we've already told about this in another interview. we played in wintertime and stayed in the promoter's office. he had a great record collection, a space heater, and a fuzzy Malamote dog. when he went to bed, he took the space heater with him, and we almost froze to death. all you could hear all night was people cussing & shivering & calling the dog over, but the dog wasn't having any of it."
