A BAD REVIEW BY AN ANONYMOUS ASSHOLE:
It was a nicer day that day February 6th, 1996 it was a hell of a lot warmer
than least week which was -30 below, but I had to ruin my day by going to
what some call a show. Now some might say it was an outstanding show, and
others(like myself) a piece of shit. Maybe it was because Rev. Ivan Stang
was on too many drugs that he couldn't think right, or maybe because the
show didn't have enough props. The Circus Apoclypse was worth the six dollars
to get in, but thats about it. I wish I could have seen "Bob"
slaughtered and maimed up on stage. Because who gives a fuck! I also wanted
to see the bleeding head. Instead I heard a bunch PINK rant and rave about
some stupid x-day that is never gonna come because it is just a ploy to
steal money from the unsuspecting audience. It makes want to join the fucking
conspiracy!!!
NEXT: ST. LOUIS! NAH, FORGET ST. LOUIS. It was a DISASTER.
