![]() Yes, the time has finally come. We received more than a thousand emails, most of which said, "Dude, Primus Sucks" or "Fuck You, Send me the Poster Damnit" or "Primus Sucks, You're Gay." I'd say around 400 emails were two pages long, which were instantly thrown into the void. Winners were chosen based on whatever happened to catch our eye. If you won, we sent you an email. If you didn't get an email, you didn't win. If you like The Eagles, you're in the wrong place. Now onto the winners... David V OK...I live in California. I flew to New York to see some friends and catch some Primus shows: NYC, Philly, and Montreal. Montreal was going to be our last show of the tour, and since it *might have been* the last Primus show we were ever gonna see, we wanted to go out in style. As you may know Montreal is a pretty kicking town, so my friends and I came prepared to party. We had a full suite reserved at the Crown Point Plaza hotel, we were loaded with "party favors", everything was all set for our last hurrah, as it were. That day we were driving up Highway 87 in New York on our way, cranking tunes, smoking it up, getting psyched for the big night. To make a long story short, we got pulled over about an hour before the border in the middle of East Bumblefuck for speeding. The cop supposedly smelled weed, so he searched the car. Inside he found the following: A half ounce of icky sticky diggity dank weed, 3 pieces, 3 grams of Hash imported from Amsterdam, 10 Vicodans, 16 pills of E, oh and about 4 and a half grams of coke. Yeah, we were ready to party. Needless to say, we didn't make it to the show. Instead we were cuffed and arrested, thrown into a 6 x 8 foot cell, and spent the next FIVE days in jail before getting bailed out. I still have all the charge sheets if you need proof of all the shit we had. We went from the ultimate high to the ultimate low real quick. Talk about a bummer. And what a way to go out. So, that's the story, the Montreal show was supposed to be my 7th of the tour and my last, instead I was in the slammer for 5 freakin days. A signed poster sure would ease the sting of missing such an epic night, all in the name of Primus. Thanks! (Dave aka broast monkee from the board.) :: Dave, you are a man of extreme power. For that truly life altering experience, may we offer this token of our collective appreciation. Too bad you couldn't make it, we could have used some of your drugs. Andy M I'm pretty sure it was 1988. I took the golden gate transit from san fran to point reyes, a small coastal town in west marin to see primus (original band pre tim and ler) play at the point reyes red barn. I guess the Jay Lane had to hitch and got lost and ended up in bolinas or something... Anyways, the band couldn't put it off any longer, so les asked if there was a drummer in the house. There was. It was mickey hart's son, creek. He jumped up unfamiliar with the set, but he was ripping. They played about 5 songs before Jay showed up. I remember he was just standing there watching creek shred, shaking his head in awe. I honestly think creek sounded a lot better. I still have the shriveled up yellow flyer from the show. :: Believe it or not, I was at that show too. I remember some dumb high school chick was playing the piano at the back of the theater trying to compete with the band. Yes, it was Creek and he was ripping. Tim W one time i dropped my primus cd in a pool Fin :: I once defecated in a pool. James Over the past 12 years I've seen these tweakers 30+ times on the east coast. So my fat friend Ryan and I fly to SanFran on goosey night, see 'em Friday at the Warfield, fly back to NJ Sunday morn. 72 hour, 5860 mile trip damn it. 11.15.03, see 'em at the Tower. We wait out back by the bus, cops cleared everyone out, except 10 of us or so. Herb gave us his pasta...but it said Carl on the container? Fatty and I ate it, it was good. Les & Ler came out, signed our tix. Anyway, Herb didn't sign my ticket so I need the poster! I am holding Herbs (or Carl's?!) Tupperware for ransom. :: Hi James. For your unsurpassed determination and all out dedication, may we bequeath you this rare gesture of our gratitude. If you put it on ebay, we'll find you. Amanda I lost my virginity to Pork Soda. :: Amanda, our sympathies. Sadly, we received more than one email about people losing their virginity to Primus albums. You were, however, the only one to be broken in to Pork Soda. Sorry about that. Daniel the day the Brown Album was released, i went to purchase it from my local record store, Hastings. unbeknownst to me, on this same tuesday, the playmate of the month was in this particular hastings signing autographs. after finding the cd, i accidentally stood in the autograph line, thinking it was the check-out line. when i got to her, i realized my error, and asked her to sign my primus cd, which she did. :: Pure power Arnie Me and 2 friends ran into les at taco bell. He signed my 7 layer wrapper. I paid $200 to have it framed. :: Why Arnie, Why ? Here's something worthy of framing... Rich S Ok, I almost died this summer from a aortic dissection (what John Ritter died of). I had to have emergency open heart surgery and have a valve replacement. Well during my recovery I knew about the Primus reunion and this gave me hope to be recovered in time to see a Primus show (been a fan since 1989, yet never seen them live- I suck). I was making good progress and stoked about the show in Washington D.C. Well that got cancelled and I was very sad I might never see them live. Then I found out some friends were going to the Philly show and they got me a ticket. I went with them and saw one of the best concerts I have ever seen (and the show being 3 days before my birthday made it even more special). The power of music helped me thru my recovery and having something to look forward to helped me during some of the rough times during my recovery. Thanks for listening and thanks Primus for the wonderful music you share! :: Hi Rich, Good story. Thank you. Andy I saw a vlade divac introduce primus with his thick ass middle eastern accent at the Palladium in LA. I hate the sacramento kings, but vlade (ex-laker) rules. I think that's why primus took a hiatus, because that moment was truly the pinnacle of their career. A giant yugoslavian named vlade saying, "ladies and gentlemen, Plimus.." :: Yes. Jmfunky here is my story I am in the air force. Last year while i was in pakistan. Before our planes would go on bombing missions to various locations. We were allowed to go write crap or do what ever to the bombs . So i'd always to my best to draw the "Suck on this Album Cover" and write Primus sucks but al queda can suck on this. :: War sucks, but that story is pretty good. You win. |
