Hi hi hi there.  This is gordon from depswa reporting in from the road, on ozz fest 2003.  for the past couple of days, since the ozz fest show in Seattle, we have had some days off.  I hate days off..  not only do we not get to rock out.  We do not get to see all of the cool people we have met on this tour.  Days  off are fucking lame.  All we do is sit around, drink mass amounts of beer, and talk about the good old days when we worked shity jobs, and dreamed of playing ozz fest.   I guess we don't really have that bad huh.. Today, which is I have no idea what day it is, we are in Albuquerque  new mexico.  I woke today to a fine hangover.  After wiping myself down with adult body wipes.  I poured some coffee and it was off to see the second stage rockers.  I have to say that every band on the second stage kills it.  I have gone to many ozz fests in the past, but this years second stage is hungry.   All the bands kill it, and I love watching all of them  perform.  We had a great set, and signed a ton of autographs at the fye tent.  It is the shit being able to meet so many kids at these shows. That brings me to the present time.  I am now buzzed from chillin  over at the jagermeister tent.  After this I'm hitting up the free miller light tent.  So we will talk to yall later. Take care, and fuck. .

Let me just start by saying holy f-ing shit! Ozzfest, the tour of all tours and we just so happen to be on it, go figure. A few days ago we were in St. Louis and it was hot as fuck! Needless to say we still managed to have ourselves a really good time hanging with all the bands and the fans. I will say that St. Louis did get a little out of control when the sun started to fade and the jager started to flow but hey, with out a little drama here and there I wouldn't have anything to write about. After we left what very well could have been mistaken for a fucking war zone we went to our next stop Minneapolis. After Minneapolis we went to the Windy City Chicago. In Chicago we went on at about 3:00 and I would say we played in front of the most people there than we have on the whole tour so far. We sat around hanging with old friends and drinking Old Style (lite) it was great. The next day we had an off date with our good friends in Un-Loco and Memento in Grand Rapids MI. we ate burritos and did bad things, thats all you need to know.  Yesterday, Cleavland, OH. ?????????? I might have a bit of trouble digging up any info on what went on yesterday but I'll try. We went on at 9:00am and hit the Jager tent shortly after we were done only because Eliah from the band Endo got us started by tricking me into drinking his well saturated Sobe and Grey Goose so why stop there? After that I am pretty sure we just had a lot of fun, I hope. Ryan From depswa

I know I say this every show, but it was fucking hot man. 115 degrees, that is no heat you want to play in let me tell you. Today was the day that we opened the show, we started playing at 9:30 AM so the heat wasn't to insane. I felt bad for the dudes in Cradle of Filth, those motherfuckers wear full leather with boots and makeup and god knows what else is under there cloths. So what do you do when your band plays first thing in the morning? Nothing you hang out and chill with your friends all day because that is what Ozzfest is all about. For the most part of the day we hung out with Marilyn Manson’s dancers. Those are some of the coolest girls on earth and they are great performers. Our bus call was early because our next Offest show was like 800 miles away......How Sweet. Man Love, Chris & Hotwire

You know those days where you just have a weird feeling but you don't know what it is that you are feeling weird about. I had that day, I woke up in my bunk all frantic and shit like sweating, I hate that feeling. We played second today so I was up bright and early. I watched Memento's set and it rocked, they opened the show and we were right after them. So I'm guessing the funny feeling i had was my gear wasn't working. It's insane dude on Ozzfest you have 5 Min. set changes so you better hope your gear is working, and of course mine wasn't. What a shitty feeling it is when your equipment doesn't work and your a complete retard like me and you have no clue how to fix it. Lucky it was only my wireless that wasn't working, I fixed that then proceeded to fuck the crowds mind with my bass lines....JOKING, Gosh can't you take a joke!!! Steve from Ampeg was at the show and they had brought a bunch of new gear and they had guitars, bass's, drums Etc. It was so funny, I started a band with Vanessa, Manson's dancer, some motherfucker with 5 teeth and me, Unfortunately after the jam session we broke up. Thanks to all who came and supported our band, we never had a name but I think we had a pretty big impact on the music scene. I love your smile, Chris & Hotwire
