Lydia Lunch Art Opening Spring '02-ish

In Spring of 2002(?), I had an audition night gig set up at CBGBs.  I booked it with Human Adults in mind as the band.  Back then (and maybe even a little now) it was a crap-shoot as to what musicians were playing a gig.  Human Adult Band, Buckets & Batteries and Magnet City Kids had a lot of overlap in terms of members.  In 2002 Human Adult Band also was still very much forming.  I did not own a cell phone, so before a gig, gathering the musicians entailed driving the econoline to a couple houses in New Brunsick and houses in South Brunswick and Somerset.  This routine if not done well in advance, often meant running late in true Angus MacLise form.  This was not popular with the club owners.  So for this gig we were running behind and still had to traverse the clogged road ways at the Holland Tunnel.  When we arrived, Hilly's people told us we missed our spot.  I don't remember that phasing us much.  We, as Angus may have done, set up our battery powered amps and garbage drums on the side walk out front of CBs. (This gear was already in the van from frequent street performing.)  A few punk kids sat down and hung out.  It kinda had the same vibe as when the outcast kids hang out on the High School lawn during lunch.  After about an hour, a curator from the CBGBs Art Gallery next door came outside and was impressed with our ways so she invited Buckets & Batteries to come back soon and play a Lydia Lunch art opening at the gallery space.  I don't know what ever came of that righteous show.  Maybe I was away gigging somewhere else.  I hope my bandmates in Buckets and Magnet City did the show.  Seemed like one not to miss.
