Monday 11.05.07: Monday Night Residency – RESTAURANT

Restaurant

At 16, Bobby got a job bussing tables ironically in a Cajun eatery in Rangoon, Texas where he impressed the owner with his wide range of knowledge pertaining to roux and Creole spices. Shortly thereafter, Bobby was promoted to head-waiter/sommelier but kept the position only 6 months after which he applied and was accepted to the University of Texas at Austin’s Botany Department where he would meet his soon-to-be bandmate, Kevin. Kevin was quiet and reserved, but with a distinct air of sophistication about him. The two would run into each other during late nights spent in the campus Botany laboratory, a place they would fondly refer to as “The Kitchen.” Kevin was preoccupied, some would say obsessed, with gourds. He spent almost two years attempting to grow a special kind of gourd with “laces” that could mimic and eventually replace conventional leather rugby balls in tournament play. Bobby spent his time in “The Kitchen” trying to create a smokeable hybrid of herbal Viagra and herbal ecstasy, a blend he would call Erectstasy and sell to merchants on the Venice Beach boardwalk. Kevin successfully licensed the use of his athletically modified gourd to Merf, a division of the popular Nerf foam sports-ball company, and the two quickly gathered their respective fortunes and relocated to Southern California to start a fucking band.
