I remember tuning up a monster doofkin and walking into a Jack Daniels event in Boston. While I was blizzed, I couldn't help but notice the Yuppie costumes everyone was wearing. Fu Manchu was ripping through their sonic ear buster, "Evil Eye."
There was a stack of free Domino's pizza boxes in the corner. I lifted the lit and waved to Mike Brown. We each grabbed a fist full of slices and headed to the bar. The bar was lined with these weird wine cooler looking Jack and Coke foo foo drinks. When I order a Jack and Coke, I prefer a 1 to 3 ratio of Jack to Coke. I tried one of the free wine coolers, and realized it was a -3 to 1 ratio of Jack to Coke. WTF?
I asked the bar tender for a jack and coke. He looked at me like I had two heads and pointed at the bar. I handed him a twenty dollar bill and asked him for two doubles. He scanned left, then right, and then took the loot.
Two minutes later he handed me two Jack and Cokes, proper. Mike grabbed one and we walked to the front of the show. There was nobody within twenty feet of the stage, and Fu Manchu had their shit dialed up LOUD. I was pumped when they played Boogie Van. Jack Daniels might have blew it on the sauce, but they threw a bullseye on the band. Certainly did.
