Description of Crib: A common gathering spot for local bandsters and
drinkers. Beer cans are everywhere, and at no time is a cigarette not burning. The carpet is shaggy, stained, and pulling up from the floor, and you
DEFINITELY would not want to walk on it in bare feet. The upstairs is about
as bad, with litter strewn everywhere and a horrible, horrible bathroom that
should be in a Stephen King novel where someone gets locked in the bathroom
for a month.
Length of residency in Crib: Schier, the only surviving original member
of the crib, has been there for three years. In that time, about 300,000 band
boys and girls have moved in and out, including his bandmates in Last of the
Juanitas (Lana Rebel and Brian Giles), and his girlfriend. At crib inspection
time, another dude, Mike C. of The Bugs, was about to move into the dining room.
Number of Cigarettes Smoked Per Day: About 240.
Television show watched in Crib: Judge Joe Brown is on the crib’s
television, and Sherman is getting pissed off about the crappy reception. He
yells, “Fucking cunt! Oh… sorry, I don’t mean you,” searches around for the
remote, and then realizes that the TV is within arm’s reach.
What’s in the fridge: Gimme Lean Sausage, about 15 beers, and tortillas.
Number of dead fish in the Crib: One. Schier: “My girlfriend just moved
out, and her fish just died yesterday. I’m such a sap. I put her dead fish under
one of the plants in the tank, so it would grow into the plant.”
Amount of weed in the Crib: None. And boy, does John Sherman have ants
in his pants. (This was added to let it be known that yes, John Sherman does
like to smoke pot, so if you see him at a show or just out at a bar, feel free
to offer him a toke off the doober.)
