| Having seen the guys several times over the years (1st time opening for Warrant at AstroWorld way back when; last time May 2005 in Austin for the 18 year anniversary show) and having met various members at various shows, I would have to say that the oddest experience I was able to witness was the stopping of a show at Hurricane Alley (Houston) in the mid 90's due to a TABC raid (I do not remember the exact date of the show). The Toys were in mid song when we saw someone with a flashlight from the side of the stage signalling them to stop. Next thing we knew, TABC officers were checking IDs and taking people out. My friend and I sat on the edge of the stage with our ID's in our mouths (kinda stupid now that I think about it) as the various officers walked around. When we left, there was a small army of individuals sitting on the sidewalk area ready to be hauled off. The show never continued and we were one of the lucky (legal) ones able to leave on our own.... In hopes of sparking a bit of conversation on the DT board, what is the oddest thing you've experienced at a DT show?

| Wow.. I think I remember hearing about that. Was that during the Pissed tour or the Rtist tour? 94? 96? The oddest experience for me : I was in Tokyo with the Toys in 2003 and Mike Watson passed out on stage due to some "Japanese" food issues. It was pretty scary. He hit his head on a speaker cabinet and cut his temple wide open. Pretty freaky. After a short pause, Jason picked up the bass and they continued the show.

| It was the Pissed tour because I saw them earlier in the day at a local Houston music store (the old Texas Music Emporeum) doing a short set outside their doors. I still have my signed poster with the Pissed logo on it. Very cool item!
