1/22/2008: Yolks On You!  This past Thursday, we inducted Danny from local punk band No Admission into the Silver Sprocket Bicycle Club. His band was playing a show in Mickie Rat from the Secretions' basement, also known as Casa De Chaos.Our original plan was to tape a dozen eggs to various spots on Danny's body right before his set and then announce to the crowd that he would have to make it through the show with at least one egg intact. This would have killed poor Danny, and Mickie didn't want us making a stinky mess in his basement where the Secretions practice, so we came up with an alternative plan. [+/-] show/hide the rest of this post We waited for the set to be over, and then made Danny strip down to his boxers and shoes. After the 12 eggs were taped to his body, we announced to the crowd that he would have to make it to the shower in Monkey Man's apartment a few blocks away with at least one egg unbroken. Oh yea, we didn't really tell the Monkey Man anything about the plan. He's a dude who mail-ordered a few times that lives a block from my apartment, that we sometimes hand deliver packages to in very annoying ways with swords, masks, and threats. We sometimes nail obnoxious notes to his door. I think he has something to do with the scene at Sac State as a college radio DJ or show promoter or something, and takes pictures. Anyway, a few hours earlier we saw that his light was on and told him to stay awake for us, without giving a reason or choice. Once the eggs were taped to Danny's body and instructions were given, he made a run for it, and immediately came under attack. Eggs crushed, goo spilled, and Danny glistened like a golden god. My favorite part was when he ran the wrong way in front of The Press Club, confusing the bouncers and crowd of fuckers waiting in line to go 80's dancing by screaming "I need to find a shower!" I think we freaked out The Monkey Man when we pounded on the door and a naked 17 year old covered in broken eggs went sprinting in with about thirty Pyrate Punx in pursuit and a fat bald and drunk property manager screaming at the Pyrates while threatening them with a baseball bat, forcing the ones that didn't make it inside the apartment to retreat over the fence in a hilarious and frightening way. I can't wait to hear Mickie's version of the night's events from outside as I was with the smaller lynch mob inside, laughing hysterically at the old man versus punks screaming match happening just beyond the door. Monkey man, we're sorry if we got you evicted, but I'm pretty sure he didn't know which apt we all ran into. People at 924 Gilman Street the next night, we're sorry Danny smelled like rotten eggs, but you know how not punk showering is.
