We were literally running after the "Sick of it All" rental truck, and almost caught them. They're drum tech/roadie stole my new Zildjan crash cymbal and took off when we headed towards him. I think the Biohazard drummer told me this guy had done this before, and to try and catch him. I ran out the door he was nervously looking back at. Like a movie, as soon as we got to the doors they were taking off. Then had to stop at a red light. We we surprised they stopped, but they weren't local. We were just about on the truck, when they went through the light and away from us. Met a few assholes, but most bands weren't any different than the rest of us. Thank God, no Internet, so most bands wanted to hang out, smoke up, etc. Some of the heaviest, "scariest", looking and sounding bands were the nicest people. Very serious about their art, but almost always friendly and fun to be around. It was quite an eye opener. People from around the world. The most important thing seemed to be everyone getting along in small places. Usually much more time together doing little, until the magic of playing the next show.

He had just joined the band, so he didn't have great gear just yet. also, he borrowed that pedal, so it probably sucked having to tell his friend he lost his entrusted gear.

Saw NoFX at my first festival ever at _Berlinova 2003_ on a former soviet airforce base age 16 - managed to catch two of El Hefe's plecs there. The second time we had a roadtrip from Berlin to Cologne to see _The Epoxies_ and _NoFX_ well aware the show having been completly sold out, so we went to a price gauger and told him we'd give him 5 bucks over the listed price for him taking care of our tickets or we'd take all his tickets and would give him nothing instead - he chose to accept our offer. Inside the venue named "Palladium" we found that the organizer had divided the audience area with crowd control fences, only letting people who waited in front of the entrance since before 2.30 AM into the area directly in front of the stage while all the others had to get into the area in the back of the venue. You can imagine the outcome, a ton of well behaved kids sometimes even with a parent without being condescending or something, it's just the kind of audience who'd show up to a NoFX show at noon because that's how it's usually done with concerts of other internationally known more mainstream artists where it indeed makes a huge difference - but not with bands and fans from the wider punk subculture where even a security stage pit is already frowned upon and accepted only begrudgingly, not to speak of the fact that die-hard fans who are visiting a show to slam and mosh are usually not the kind of people showing up hours in advance to wait in a line - and it's not the type of audience an organizer wouldn't want to get bored in front of their venue either. Turned out even the bands were pissed af - I'm not sure whether it was Fat Mike himself or whether I'm falling for a false memory here, but a member of the bands and in light of NoFX being the headliner and Fat Mike being the frontman most likely him came on stage to tell the upset audience the bands didn't know in advance, wouldn't have accepted the booking if they had known (the word 'deceit' came up) and wouldn't play untill the organizer would have gotten rid of the fencing which would have taken mere minutes. However, appearently there was quite some argument going on behind the scenes and the organizer wasn't willing to compromise - either there would be a gig with a fence dividing the crowd, or there wouldn't be a gig at all. Appearently the _Palladium_ had experienced some incident with crowd related injury or death at one point which is fair enough, but crowds at concerts aren't all the same - you can't treat a punk crowd the same as pubescent k-pop kids who are hysterically obsessed with their idol of choice and fixated on getting as close as any possible appearently oblivious to the fact that no two or more objects can occupy the same place at the same time.. Eventually the bands showed up again, announcing the organizer wasn't willing to take away the barrier but they'd still play, if only to not have their fans having shown up for nothing in the end - it would punish them more so than the people responsible, so instead they just wouldn't play for the organizer/at the venue in the future and tell their peers about it as well because the organizers would have known for certain the bands wouldn't agree with dividing and restricting the crowd and so it got flat-out omitted. The experience was super weird because you ended up on a fence although the stage being what must have been 150 feet further away, with a very untypical crowd in front of the stage where little was going on all while in the back beyond the fence of all places there was actual movement and mosh pits forming on occasion more to support the bands and out of spite rather than because people would have felt like it. I legitimatly hate Cologne, a fucking village who likes to imagine it was a real city because it has precisely 1 (one) famous site, it's cathedral to look at. You couldn't get a non-alcoholic drink at a friday night at central station and around the cathedral, it took half an hour for our driver to get arrested for ridiculous reasons and of course he had the keys so we couldn't even access the car including our clothes while shorts and t-shirt were utterly insufficient during a dam cold april night. The next day I landed in a puddle of piss with half of my body when I had to bail a skateboarding trick while taking the opportunity to for the first and last time skate the famous spots around the cathedral, and when we wanted to eat something on our way to the venue I had the worst döner kebab in all of my life although the kebab stand had been one of the recommended ones - it might sound like a trifle but I'm from Berlin and therefore know what a döner is supposed to taste like and that thing was outright offensive. The events at _Palladium_ only confirmed what I already had started to realize: Cologne sucks so hard not even a roadtrip of 5 friends, a trunk full of skateboards, beer & booze as well as a huge ass bong and sufficient amount of weed with a performance of _The Epoxies_ and _NoFX_ as an extra sweet cherry on top could salvage it. It's almost tragic.
