If you’ve ever been to Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club you’re probably familiar with the extremely zealous security at the venue. You can’t get away with shit…or apparently piss as Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski found out the hard way at a Dark Star Orchestra concert this past Friday night.
Some time during the first set Lipski lived out the dream of Jerry-hating music fans everywhere by relieving himself from the balcony on a mass of Deadheads packed on the floor below. The 44-year-old Councilman, who also is the head of a Charter School, was charged with simple assault according to the Daily News. Apparently, Lipski attends many Dark Star Orchestra shows and participates on the band’s message board as Jersey Steve.
DSO guitarist Rob Eaton sounded off on his disgust with Lipski…
This is my personal outrage at the individual who decided to pull his penis out of his pants in the balcony at the 9:30 club on Friday and urinate on the crowd below. Your a Fuck Stick! You might just as well have pissed on the band in my opinion. Your a disgrace to the community and should be ashamed of your self. The irony is it’s someone on this board who is a frequent poster and claims to be a fan of the band. Well sir fans like you we don’t need. You pissed on hard working fans who paid good money to come to our show. How do you think they will remember their experience? There is no excuse for this and I ask you sir to please don’t come to shows anymore. If you can’t keep your dick in your pants take it someplace else. I am outraged!
My personal opinion and commentary…..

Councilman Lipski’s office hasn’t responded to any inquiries about the Golden Shower Incident, but we can’t wait to see what Fuckstick has to say when he gets into work on Monday. As for DSO, while any publicity is good publicity we’re sure this is a story they wish they weren’t involved with. The best Grateful Dead tribute band in the world continues their Rex Caravan Tour on Tuesday in Concord, NH where they will celebrate their 11th Anniversary.

Sorry — I am deeply sorry.
Steve
Like the balcony, Rob is pissed off
I just can’t stop laughing when i read this story.
isn’t it You’re?
Indeed, it should read “You’re a Fuck Stick.”
What a great story,
Off… On… All this story is missing is “In”
One foot in the past…one foot in the future…
Honestly we are talking about a Grateful Dead cover band. This band makes a living by trying to imitate a concert that has already taken place. That is a joke. Anybody who attends a dark star show deserves to be pissed on….the man should have pissed on the band.
Randy Walters is a “Fuck Stick”.
Seriously, man… what a stupid comment to make. Fuk U!
Most of the the girls that I hang our with and I would have enjoyed this show very much. We are comfortable being peed on.
As an attendee at the concert, I’m outraged that this guy is allowed to hold public office. I feel for anyone whose night was undoubtedly ruined by this asshole. Steve, find a new band to follow buddy, you’re no longer welcome in this community.
I can’t help but laugh at this story. The image of someone pissing off the 9:30 Club balcony is just too much to take seriously. If you’ve ever been there, it’s not a big place. Holds about 1200 I think, and the balcony is very shallow and wraps around 3/4 of the venue. He must have been SO conspicuous.
But then I read his apology and now I feel bad for laughing… kind of 😉
The Band was playing “Looks Like Rain”, right?
this dude, seriously, was at the Cornell 30th anniversary show in Ithaca, May of 2007. Honestly. a few of my friends and I have talked about seeing him and even chatting with him in the ‘smoking area’……….Imagine a press statement where Trey or Jerry came out and singled YOU out to say, ‘don’t come to my shows anymore.’…Damn, this had to be a tough 2 days for this dude…
What difference does it make who was on stage?! Who you be pissed off if it was your favorite band on stage?! (Or maybe you’re just into that sort of thing.) That they are a tribute band makes absolutely NO difference. No music fan of ANY band should be subjected to that indignation. Let’s not forget there’s a Glenn Miller Orchestra and a Tommy Dorsey Orchestra still performing tributes. GFY.
