Digital Notes- Our Lady Peace
    Cleveland - OLP's food quandary--hot wings and Clumsy cake.
November 12, 1997

The last two shows seem to have had a strange connection to food. Even though Detroit and Cleveland are far from being food Meccas, we were treated to some interesting delicacies. The show in Detroit was amazing. Yet another sold-out night on what is turning out to be one of the best tours we've been on this year. Aside from the show, we were presented with our second Clumsy cake from a very dear couple that live outside Detroit. The first cake was given to us at an

outdoor show for one of the radio stations. She had baked a delicious chocolate brownie cake in the shape of the clown from the inside artwork of our Clumsy record. This new cake was baked to look identical to the dummy with the screw in its mouth.

The show in Cleveland was also a sold-out, hot and sweaty rock'n'roll extravaganza. Not only was the club hot during the show, but it was also cooking during soundcheck. It had nothing to do with music but everything to do with chicken wings. A local wing joint three doors down from the club had most of the Everclear crew, as well as our beloved drummer, Jeremy, grimacing with burning lips. I tried a couple of the wings named whoppers, and quickly realized the power of these whoppers. My lips were still tingling after the show.

I'm sincerely hoping the next few shows return us to some normal food!
