Good point. When we went through town after the gig, people gave us some strange looks, but nothing major.

I saw them in Dallas during the Gwarmageddon tour back in 1999 I think it was, went in to a 711 after the show not thinking about being covered in fake blood, the girl behind the counter looked horrified.

Let's not forget this is the same time period where people were trying to get Mortal Kombat banned because it had blood in it and wanted rap banned from the radio because gangsta rap was too dangerous. The 90s were a different time but there was still plenty of people outraged over unnecessary stuff.

Ding. 90s folks were cool. Today people would be so pissed that they got fake blood in the pickle spice frappachino that they took and then yell about it on Twitter after trying to record the concert on their phone.

Now all I can think about is how a pickle spice frapuccino would taste...

Do it, you’ll make millions. And I’ll be happy to accept 10%, of course, because I pushed you in the direction of this groundbreaking discovery. I’m your muse.
