Folsom - WTL last show

I remember this show. Will To Live's farewell. One of those band memories that lingered. Sometimes all the shows blur together into one big cloudy mess. You can't remember where you played or what songs you played. My memories of tours read through my mind like a strange list of Seinfeld-esque episodes. "The one where the guy got brained with the top of a toilet reservoir" or " The one where we gave that dude a ride home cause he lost his keys pitting and he gave us a plate of catfish."



This was the last show we played with Jesse on drums. It was the end of an era. I didn't know it at the time but looking back I probably should have. We had booked a handful of shows to break up the 1500 mile trek to Houston. We ended up cancelling them all last minute except for a show in San Antone I think. Jesse was held up trying to close a work deal and we ended up blasting straight thru 20 hours to San Antonio. I think we were in the Fight Like Hell van and the AC went out too.



I remember the tension in the van. Awkwardness that you can't quite pinpoint. Distance.



The show was dynamite. I remember watching this video before and wishing that there was footage of the end of our set. Right before we played, somebody else, (maybe Die Young?) played up stairs in the big room and it took until about our 4th song before the down stairs was packed again.



I remember kicking it outside with my boy Give Up and talking about art and sacrifice. Later on we would crash at his place right after a hurricane had smashed Houston and a curfew had been ordered for the city.



Great send off for one of my favorite bands. Worth every drop of sweat and overpriced gallon of gas to get there. I never think about the money we all lost doing shows like this, only that it was necessary. Enjoy. Video Credit to Danny I think???
