I remember being envious of the people that got to play video games with Ozma at that outhouse show in Los Gatos. That show was awesome. Tiny venue packed tight with people jumping in unison. It was the first time I'd heard Spending Time and Wake Up. I remember I loved Wake Up right away.
I also remember sitting on Pat's back porch talking to him and Ryen. He also offered me some weed. I remember wondering how Daniel had gotten so many beers since he was like 20 at the time. That Key Club show was the best. It doesn't get better than Rivers showing up to the ozma show you're at, and then going over to ozma's practice space for a party afterwards. haha, I remember now I had on a weezer shirt, and I was waiting in the parking lot in the loading zone so I could get directions to Pat's house, and Rivers looked over and saw me, and got kinda freaked out because of my shirt.
Another good time was at Daniel's solo show at The Outhouse, a few months before Spending Time came out. They had posted all those fake possible titles for the album, and we were talking about it. Then he said something like "I did like this one idea by this guy Scott Peltz on the forum" and I was like, "hey, that's me."
