A Memorable/Humorous/Classic Moment on the tour bus/road in 2008

Almost suffocating playing a sold out show with our friends the Black Lips at the Market Street hotel in Brooklyn, NY,  in June.  On stage, the temperature exceeded 120 degrees F.  There was crowd surfing, sweat, mosh pits, mayhem, pure excitement, and we nearly all passed out from the shear overwhelming heat and energy surrounding.
