Plotkin bailed out and some other dork joined the tour. Their set was extremely boring and we spent most of it in the smoking room playing pool, ms pacman and asteroids. The only good out of the whole night was Lexaunculpt which my friend mike said he thought was the best thing he'd seen since autechre live. In my opinion it would have been a hell of a lot better if it was just Alex without Brad from Electric Company blasting out of time noises and crap over the top of alex's music. As for the can guys, greg was right. We all knew they were going to suck so we loaded alex's gear up and went for tacos. If Holger Czukay was there, I'm sure it would have been a different story. word to the mothership, brockout
