In the loud venue after Biffle talked to Lance King.
Me: "That was Ian, on the forum he's Dolamite S. Biffle"
Lance: "What? Dolamite Ass-Pimple??"

There are pages more!

STAGE-DIVING BABYYYYYY!!!!

"Aww crap, I guess Hooked on Phonics was a waste of money..."

"It'll be the first headline on Blabbermouth... Lance King Kills Mindflow!"
"I guess their Minds Flew?"

"Taco Cabana is our reference point for all of Houston."

You may want to clarify that Blabbermouth one for our readers

Yes, it was easily the funniest thing all weekend!

And Taco Cabana is the BEST reference in town! It's at the nexus of the Madfest universe - 1960 & Jones Rd!

Robb from RMW to a somewhat hungover me: "I like the drunk Rusty better!"

Okay, I'd better clarify, since THAT one was mine.

It's Thursday afternoon, and we're heading back from Houston-Hobby Airport toward the hotel (let's be real, it's a motel) in rush-hour traffic and a thunderstorm. John is leading the way in a rented Jeep Laredo, then Mindflow are following in their rental (a Suburban), and Lance is following Mindflow in a Chevy Uplander van, with me as his sole passenger. (Yeah, I was ridin' in style. Lance King as my personal driver. I'm expecting Geoff Tate to shine my shoes back at the motel.

) Note that none of the drivers actually knows Houston roads all that well, and the grueling ride back to the motel takes at least two hours when it can be done in 40 minutes.

At a few times, Lance had to come to a quick stop in bumper-to-bumper traffic. After one such incident, I kinda looked over slyly and said "I can just see the Blabbermouth headline now: "Brazilian band Mindflow killed by vocalist Lance King."
And now you know.....the rest of the story.

Quote:

"I guess their Minds Flew?"

No, only Rafael's. That was my quote also....and was based on Rafael's fascinating attempt to communicate with Houston's unusually loud bird-life at 5am on Sunday, in the Taco Cabana parking lot. I'm kicking myself for leaving my camera back at the hot-- err, motel. It was truly one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. Especially since he was succeeding.

Yep.

Heck, my Madfest culinary experience -- which ironically enogh, never involved Texas barbecue -- began and ended at Taco Cabana and with MindFlow: Thursday night and again late Sat./early Sunday.

I gave Jens Carlsson a brief tour of Texas culture. I can't go into detail until I clear it with certain musicians, but lets just say it is a story that is very funny.

Smiley (I think): We're going to change your name from "Rob Young on bass" to "Rob Young on burrito"
Rob: It's a fajita! You're from California, don't you know the difference?!
