  Cleaning the basement, I found these printed sheets that were hanging on the wall at one of our first out of town gigs at Spud Zero on January 23rd 1988. The club was run by Mass Giorgini, and this is the first time we met him. I remember being very impressed that he actually had the first record and took the time to print out these corny photos that Paul Russel drew. I made sure to rip four of them off the wall before leaving. Mass says that his father, Aldo, who also drew the first cover of Television City Dream, drew the Screeching Weasel logo on the top left of each flyer. Supposedly we brought Doug Ward's band ID Under without informing Mass, probably because we needed to use his van. We did not have one then. The next time, in April, we played Spud Zero again, and we did a mini tour with Rattail Grenadier (Later Squirtgun) and played a movie theater in Evansville, Indiana. This is when Ben introduced his milk spewing Dildo Gun, and sprayed the passive, sitting, front row. It was not appreciated, but it was funny. I think the milk had spoiled before it even left the veiny barrel of the penis gun.
