18th
The last tour Panthers went on was one of my favorites, opening for one of my favorite bands High On Fire for 5 weeks. Along with Mono and Coliseum. They had a different poster made for every night of the tour which I tried to collect everyone of. I gave up very quickly as they slowly got scattered everywhere around the van. I got a good amount but this is not one of them. This one is for a show we played at the Rams Head in Baltimore down in the tourist district. My best buddy Eric came by to be our roadie and live the rock dream for 3 days starting this day. This translated into him getting trashed because Jay Green kept getting him to do shots, thinking anyone else but him was doing them, working the merch booth with no shirt on and sunglasses definitely on, listening to Matt Pike yell because he thought someone was pissing on him from the parking garage while we left the venue, and Eric finally getting hammered at our friend Cullens house with the High On Fire dudes and eating Cullens vegan biscuits at 4 in the morning. It was a successful beginning to his tenure.
