since alot of you do not like Projecteadman and do not care to go to their messageboard, here's Mike E. Clark's journal from Iowa...
9-18-04 - Tonight we play The Val Air Ballroom in Iowa. We left Minneapolis at 8am. Everyone slepped. I worked on tracks in the bus. The new PDM record is gonna be the shit. I'm so hyped from this tour and knowing what I know now....the PDM vol 2 is gonna murder. We got to the place at 12 noon. The place was weird. It used to be a huge skating rink. This place could fit a lot of people. The sound guy showed up with a small ass sound system. I hate having shitty sound however this is only the second time this has happen (ie Coca Cola Event Center) Strange Music dose a good job making sure we have the best sounds. Our house dj for the night was a guy named "DJ Cid aka "0" he said he's the dj for SlipKnot. Dude introduced himself and was mad cool. ProZak and I were kind of nervous before this show. We didn’t know how this crowd was gonna act. However the second we hit the stage the whole place went nuts. By the end of the 1st song (Corporate Lies) we owned! the next song was "The PDM is Coming" and right after the intro of the song I just started to sing... "The P-D...and the power went out on our track/dvd. It was my worst nightmare and it happened! I had to laugh. I went and cue'd our track back up. ProZak was talkin some funny shit to the crowd. When I started the set back up the crowd went crazy. Our whole set was crowd surfing and a giant mosh pit. We killed it. After the set a bunch of dudes came up to us and were mad hype. They said they never heard of us and were happy and surprised.
"we thought your guys were gonna be some wanna-be hip hop group" "You guys rocked!" DJ Cid from SlipKnot asked us to do a interview for a DVD he was putting out so we did. We gained a lot of fans that night. I hate/glad to keep saying this but it was our best show. We stayed all night in Iowa. I crashed early. Everyone went to some after-hours club.
