We are staying at the Crown Plaza Hotel parking lot for the next few days until showtime on the 24th(wed). Today we had a chance to do some laundry (glamorous eh?) Myself, Dave our sound guy, Shawn and Chris all went to the local Laundromat, took about 2 ½ hours had a little Chinese food while waiting for our s*** to dry, headed back to the hotel and got ready to go out and check out Pittsburgh for a bit, we rented a car at the airport, drove to a couple of clubs, had some beers, not much to do in the part of town we are in, we got a bit lost trying to find our way back to the hotel. Found our way back hung out and smoked out and crashed. Today I got a room cause I needed to shower and so did the guys, so we were able to get online, get caught up with e-mails etc. Days off are ****ing boring as hell, there is not much to do but watch TV , play video games and try to keep ourselves amused till the next show, we had a few interviews to do, but other than that, it was pure down time.!! the day before the show we went out with the jagermeister guys Scotty, jimmy, and Shawn, had a great time drank a bunch of jigger, they were scouting for some girls to bring to the show from a local Pittsburgh nightclub called “Club Elite” They handed out 5 passes to the show, they told them to make sure they come early; we partied till closing headed back to the bus and just chilled before crashing. 
 

Woke up beside the stage in Pittsburgh, got off the bus to check it out, the weather was really nice, it was a strange backstage area, full of rocks and dirt like a new construction site, watched some of the Otep set, took my rock and roll shower beside the bus and got ready for the show, today we play at 12:10 which is nice cause we have not had to get up at the crack of dawn since the beginning of the tour, we are having some problems with our bus driver, she is a very nice lady , but she does not get along with “Kelso’ our tour mgr, and he is like family to us, so we are going to have to switch busses and drivers after the Atlanta show when we have some days off, we are bummed about it, but she has tried to cause trouble within our ranks and...Well she messed with a tight bunch and should have known that we would side with our friend and tour mgr Kelso!! 

Any ways the crowd today seems very lively, this morning they were out in full force, very loud crowd, we are set to go on, from the first note of Up in the hay” it was a slamming show, the crowd it seemed has heard “Ride” and All my friends” on the radio here, and when that is the case, its great cause they know the words and sing along etc, we had a really great set, I think it was our best show so far, it was for me at least and after talking with the band after the show we all agreed that this was the best one of the tour, the weather was sooooo nice about 78 degrees, which makes it way easier to perform. sold a bunch of cd’s at the FYE tent today, also had a really extra long day at the jager tent signed a bunch of posters, did a few interviews and we had to roll out kind of early to head to west palm beach (home state show), its a 22 hour drive so we will be doing a lot of gaming and sleeping (and smoking of course). 

We have today off, Dana has to head home from the tour today, so we woke up early and said our goodbyes, and she was off back to Florida. Myself, Kelso and Shannon Houchins who is a producer for 11th hour entertainment, he did a lot of the “Bubba Sparxxx” record, along with TLC and many other ATLANTA rap artists We are managed by 11th hour entertainment blah blah blah, so any way Shannon got us a 1:00p.m. tee time at this swanky ass country club for 18 holes of golf, on a PGA course, s*** these people would have never “normally” let me in the parking lot of this joint, but today we were guests and it was a cool thing, we had a great time just getting away from the whole circus for a whole day of golf!!! I shot a s*** ass 114, kelso shot an “89”. I had a blast though, thanks to the “Chateau Lean” in Atlanta for the hospitality!! Came back to the hotel to relax, that 18 holes took 5 ½ hours to do, and it was really hot today, so it took a lot more out of me than I expected, that golf s*** is a lot more tiresome than it looks! I must apologize for only being able to get to my emails from everyone once a week, but its very hard to find the connection as often as I would like, so we will try to make sure that the diary is kept up, as well as us answering all of your letters as fast, and as often as possible, we love you all(see ozzy is rubbing off on us), and thank you all for all of the support, Spread the word about NEUROTICA TO THE WORLD!!!!! 

See you next week with more details from life on the road with NEUROTICA on OZZFEST 2002 - Kelly
