So Im driving through the south side of pittsburgh on saturday before the show, 3 blocks from my house and leaning against the window of a tanning salon, is Cactus himself. Needless to say I pulled over and had a quick chat with him, pretty cool stuff. We grabbed some grub and drove past him again like ten minutes later, so we slow down and say hi one more time. Here is where it gets good... Gordo tells us that his bus dropped him off at a vegetarian restaurant (zenith on 25th in the south side for any pittsburghers, pretty dank) and proceeded to get stuck on one of the crazy narrow roads in the south side slopes. We said (half kidding) ok well drive you down to the venue man and hes like um... that would be great. So we ended up driving him to Star Lake before the show. Mike Gordon. In my car. f***ing titties!
If this wasn't cool enough already, he even left his sunglasses in my backseat. Hugo Boss, pretty baller Mike
I shit you not...
Crazy, right?

Did you manage to snag back stage passes for your "troubles"?Back seat passage for back stage passes, seems like a fair trade....

Dizzayum! That IS crazy!So when you get to the venue, did you get to drive him right up to the stage area? Did you get to tell a security guard - "I have the bass player in the back - let me through!" ??

Seriously though. Cactus is the coolest.Humility from Earth
Aesthetic and sense of humor from space.
So what did you guys talk about? I know I would definitely wanna ask questions about the music, decisions made on stage etc. And about what other music he likes, etc. That and about LSRHS (I went to the same high school as Gordo, just a few years later)
