On behalf of dj's Quest, T-Rock, Pone, Cheap Cologne and myself I would like
to thank everyone that came out to our 2003 shows in San Francisco, Oklahoma
City, Lafayette, New Orleans, Houston and Dallas. Also mad shouts to all the
dj's that performed with us as well in each city. We had a great time partying
with all of y'all! We'll be back out on tour in March.
Highlights of the tour include:
The waitress at Hooters in OKC working overtime to save up for a keg. "Are
y'all like rave dj's" she said. "Nope... hip-hop dj's". She then
moved her hands like she was scratching and saying "you mean like chicka
chicka whah". Uh, yep, that's it.
At the Oklahoma show there were these 3 hotties sitting to the side all night.
I went over and gave them some CD samplers and one girl asked "when are
y'all gonna play some hip-hop?" Uh..." we've been playing hip-hop
for the last 2 hours" I say. "Can you play something we can dance
to, can y'all play some Ludacriss?" Sorry, wrong party girls. But they
still stayed til the end which was mad cool.
Travelling from OKC to Lafayette we stop in Shreveport at a gas station. Coming
out of the store I don't see the curb and snap my ankle inwards and tip over
and slam on the hard concrete. My ankle puffs out like a baseball. We slap a
bag of ice on it and eventually find an emergency room. Two hours laters my
foot is wrapped and my left arm is in a splint. Props out to Dr. Gallagher for
getting me out the door quick enough so we could make the show that night in
Lafayette. For the rest of the tour I was hobbling around with a cane and DJ'ing
one handed style... the show must go on! Since I didn't have insurance my emergency
billwas $1,200 so if you want to make a donation to the Dave Fall fund
please go to our online store and buy something
from Bomb Hip Hop. Thank you.
DJ Pone's Top 9 quotations from the tour:
1. "Hip hop DJ? You mean 'wicky wicky waah'?" - our Hooters server
2. "Senior Citizens - Two For the Price of One" - Denny's
3. "Why your boy gotta make us look bad?" - OK City breakers in response
to DJ Pone's mix set
4. "It's over on Bercoonz road." - Locals of "Shepherd",
LA (Shreveport), who gave us directions to the emergency room (on Bert Koons
Expressway).
5. "I feel like I'm going to cry." - Unnamed person whom had to be
persuaded to pay us on the tour.
6. "Wooooooo!" - Apparently, what they holler in Lafayette, LA after
anyone does anything close to cool. We had to say this many times during the
trip.
7. "Bomb Hip Hop rocks!" - various people in New Orleans, including
a lady decked out in 19th century French gear, and a drunk white guy with an
afro on Bourbon street.
8. "Fuck You!" and the middle finger - From various strippers wandering
outside their clubs on Bourbon Street while I tried to videotape them. Like
I'm going to make a "Girls Gone Wild" video. Actually, the footage
is going to the Bomb ROTDJ DVD!
9. Anal Ease - Dope fader lubricant (heh heh) that Cheap Cologne saw at a Houston
smoke shop.
DJ Pone's Top
9 events from the tour:
1. Kicking off the tour by being greeted in Oklahoma City by a lady at the intersection
who opens her car door, and pours out a hospital basin full of urine. Hello
Pee Lady!
2. Finding out the what's hot in the club scene from our gracious Hooters hostess
in Oklahoma City. Apparently it's not hip hop, but it's 25 cent beer night.
3. Discovering a white slavery ring, being run by a mullet-wigged lady at Denny's.
Apparently, you can get senior citizens - at the bargain price of two for the
price of one!
4. David Paul taking an unfortunate spill at a Shreveport, LA gas station, and
the ensuing drama in trying to locate an emergency room. Also, getting kicked
out of the emergency room by the husky orderly for trying to videotape David
Paul suffering through the pain in the emergency room.
5. Being treated to the VIP room (complete with brew and sushi) at one of the
biggest clubs in Louisiana. And almost not getting paid.
6. Hitting up Bourbon Street, New Orleans, and being treated to the joyful scent
of urine, indignant strippers ready to flip you off, warm 32 oz. cups of beer,
MCs asking "who wants to get laid tonight" while singing Nelly, and
at the end of Bourbon Street, running into the biggest shirtless party outside
of Folsom Street, San Francisco.
7. Having time to enjoy the wonderful Cajun cuisine of the central swamps of
Louisiana. You can't easily forget a plateful of catfish, frog legs, and alligator.
Hey, Quest ate a whole plateful of alligator!
8. Gonzo of Aerosol Warfare in Houston, TX going all out to treat our small
group well - on limited notice, getting us a show, accomodations, AND dope T-shirts!
And getting paid!
9. Finishing off the tour by seeing a fire dance from Windy (the bartender)
of Crave, in the Deep Ellum in Dallas, TX. After a full night of bartender duties,
she went out and gave us a show! Thanks.
