And I would occasionally be like, we're only playing one album for this hour, thank you.
And I was playing GISH, playing pool, and this cute guy, I had never met a bike courier guy, came up to me and he's like, is this the Pumpkins?
And I was like,
How do you know that?
Because, you know, that was that time where your secret, like, favorite band was, like, only yours.
He's like, I just saw them in Toronto last week.
And he had seen the same show, but in Toronto.
And he instantly, like, he won my trust.
And I said, I got a jam space around the corner.
We started this little band, Tinker.
And it was only our sixth show when...
Siamese Dream exploded and you were coming through town with the Siamese Dream tour fall of 93.
Siamese Dream came out in spring of 93?
It was November of 93.
But we were touring constantly, so we would've been touring before the album came out, while the album was coming out, and after, so it's all... And I had not really seen you since the Gish moment.

started a band with guys, and we had played a handful of shows.
And because I was a ticket girl DJ, I knew all the promoters, and I called my promoter friends, the guy who, you know, the guys who brought Nirvana and Jesus Lizard and Pumpkins, they were, like, the main rock promoters who were always, like, the most powerful people in the town.
And I called them and I said, hey, I'd love to open up for the Pumpkins when they come through.
