That being said... his recount of the night is plainly exaggerated to anyone who was there and not trying to fill their mouths up with his cock. I was directly beside the stage and watched the entire drama unfold in front of my eyes.<BR/><BR/>Sure there were beers flying and people on stage but I have a hard time swallowing the gear was "smashed and unusable" after four songs. I also didn't see one beer bottle thrown on stage - just an empty pitcher and one water bottle. Hell, the guitarist from CPC Gangbangs STABBED his guitar with an empty beer bottle and proceeded to blow everyone's mind for the last two songs.<BR/><BR/>Sorry Jay! Your "apology" is full of hyperbole and misdirection. The place should never have been as full as it was (Craig Laskey has always been a squirrly lying motherfucker - he still owes me $150) but don't make shit up or make shit sound worse than it was to cover the fact that you just weren't in the mood to deal with it.<BR/><BR/>You could have easily given the crowd a chance to back off and pull itself together. I know Toronto crowds well enough, they certainly would have complied (we like being told what to do). Punching dudes in the face and walking off after 4 songs was totally irrational, in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I don't want my money back. The night of dramatics was well worth my $11.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see you perform a FULL SET, Jay. Hopefully next time you'll be able to deal with your fans in a way that DOESN'T make you look like an asshole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
