They played "Fire On The Mountain", we got out and the volcano had blown. We were tripping our minds out and couldn't believe it. We wrote our names in the ash by the highway. My friend Rick Peach and I walked into a Denny's in downtown Portland and ordered eggs. There was ash in them from the eruption. People were turning on their windshield wipers to try and remove the ash and scratching their windshields. We tried to stay at the old Hamilton Hotel, but they wouldn't allow more than one person per room and we were 3 young guys with a guitar, so weren't actually greeted with open arms.

We hitchhiked back home to Corvallis, totally blown away and our throats were burning from smoke and ash. Remember when hitchhiking was a viable option?

OMG finally a show I was most definitely at. I mean how are you going to forget the volcanoe blowing. "Thank you she blew" oh yeah. I remember Bobbie forgetting the words on some of the songs and looking over at us in the front to see if we could help out. I must have been going to all the shows back then. I was still going up front back then and there I was right in the front row but I was only good at siinging along. After the concert, I remember driving around and around and around in a VW bus, it was like a comedy show. No one would stop and look at the damn Map. Our Tribe was hanging around Evergreen State College back then. I remember about every 5 minutes Tim would say I have a map, I think hunter was driving and it was so intense. You could not see, A map may not have helped us. We surely must have been in Seattle the night before too. And after 2 hours of driving around there we were right back at the colesium lost as usual. it was something trying to drive in that blizzard. It was even more hilarious that no matter what we did to get going home we kept ending up back at the colesium like some kind of twilight zone.
