Karl, Josh Gosh & Duey   Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM: Karl started this fine Open Mic Night at The Camp with a couple of friends, Josh Gosh on guitar and Duey on vocals.  Karl & friends played "Down By the River," "How Does it Feel," and "The Texas Song."  Duey's vocals were incredible.  Shelly said "Hello from Tatman du-ville!!  If you don't know where that is, then you haven't been down Broadway lately.  It also is home to Duey, better known as fucker-bird.  Duey is Karl;s 25 year old cockateal.  He has as much personality as Karl does, and a lot more integrity than most people I know.  The thing that makes Duey different form others (besides being a bird) is he is still a virgin!  Now, [personally, I have been trying to recruit a little birdie nooky for Duey.  But, this has been a very difficult task.  You would think that Duey being center stage between Karl and Josh would have made girls flock to him.  I am saddened to say that poor Duey went home still a virgin. So, if anyone out there has a girl Duey in the same situation, please send them to Tatmandu.  Duey would very much appreciate it, and if you just want to visit, or get a really kick-ass tattoo, come see Karl, or Josh, or one of Tatmandu's other artists.  We might even let Duey tattoo you!!  Peace!"

DICK:  Karl, Josh Gosh & Duey suck!   This show is for the birds!
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY: Karl and friends looked great.  Duey added a lot to the show.

Dirty 30s,   Crowd:

CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  Jeb, Riley & Matt of the Dirty 30s performed a set of originals with Brandon on drums.  These folks "are drunks who play The Camp's Open Mic Night for cheap beer and easy women.  Songs included "Bootheel Baby," "Just Me," and Rode Hard."  You just can't beet a band with 3 screaming guitars and Brandon on drums.  The Dirty 30s will play at the Rude Dog Pub Nov. 11. 

DICK:  The Dirty 30s suck! Screaming guitars suck!
Oh.... And, death to America!

DICK:  Prom Night Filter sucks!
Oh.... And, death to America!

CampCampCampCamp
TOM: Bob Camp and Jerry Swan Performed a few tunes to welcome Jerry's 18th birthday.  After "Blowin' In the Wind," they performed some interesting tunes with strange lyrics like:

"He dances with chicks,
Chicks with tits.
Oh my happy world,
My, my, my, life is good.
Jerry's birthday,
What shall we say,
Love Jerry,
Don't go away."
