How I Found God
December 10, 2002
From Jeff Mishou:
I was supposed to see the DTTAH Tour on Thursday Dec. 5 at a club in Orono, Maine, called Ushuaia. But I guess your plane got cancelled from New York. I was told you guys rented a car, in order to try and make it in time for your appearance. That shows some dedication, which I admire greatly in people, but there was something that really bothered me. The club offered refunds, but did not say anything about rescheduling the show. I will speak for most of the people that showed up, THEY COULD GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEY'RE MONEY, THEY WOULD MUCH RATHER SEE YOU STEVE! Some people (including myself) waited outside for 3+ hours, only to be let down. I just HOPE you decide to reschedule, it would mean alot to alot people.
From Steve-O:
December 5, 2002 was the best day of my life, I know that because it was the first day I started crying, uncontrollably, against my will, for the sheer fact of how happy I was. Once that happened, I knew that I wouldn't get bummed out the next time someone asked me, "When was the last time you cried?" (which was when my mom's brain blew up from an annyeurism on Oct. 10, 1998). I had a photo taken of me when I cried my tears of joy and then went on to write (on a piece of paper): Life isn't just about having a lot of fun and being really, really, really, really ridiculously cool. Life is about making people happy. Hi, my name is Steve-O and I make people happy for a living. Then I gave the piece of paper to a special person. The next day I was supposed to go to Maine to do a cool show, but I threw away my cellphone and we never made it to Maine. Instead I made Don't Try This At Home: The Steve-O Video Volume 3- PCP Saved My Life. Filming for it began on Dec 4, 2002, it's really special to me and I hope it makes you happy. PS, the word love doesn't necessarily mean shit to me. sorry to get so mushy on you, guys, but all that shit is true. after the religious experience I just went through, and will always be a part of, I have figured out God. I don't call it God though, I call it miracles. The fact that PCP saved my life is a fucking miracle.
From a Fan:
DTTAH Tour... kicks..... ass! My ears are still ringing, and i smell so bad of sweat and beer, but im gonna sit here and tell you about tonights show in worcester mass. as the second hardcore band ended its set, the thought of "I have no fuckin idea what to expect" was centered in my mind. I was at the front of the pit, center of the stage. The guys finally came on stage, Preston, Ryan Dunn, and of course, Steve-o. Dunn lookin all haggard in his cool sort of way and Preston eventually just in his huge fuckin whities and tee shirt, Steve-o in jeans fallin down most the time (no speedo, unfortunately...kinda). I'm not gonna spoil if for anyone planning on seeing the show, but a highlight was "the human bra xmas tree" built with the following: bra's from the crowd, an industrial staple gun, and steve-o's abused flesh. There was lots of good drinking and steve-o actually started opening beers and passing them out. He gave me one, but as soon as it was in my hand it was attacked.... spilling all over me. I did get pictures.... and will get them up here ASAP. After the show I waited outside the back door for about 45 min, till there were only 10 or so people left. The guys infrequently stuck their heads out the window and threw shit at us (bread, doritos)... i was hungry so I ate some doritos. Some stupid ass kid (seriously had a problem) asked me if he could have the bag as a memento. whatever. I threw my DTTAH dvd case up at Dunn and he signed the plastic cover... which doesnt really work. Thats ok, hes still cool. Once they finally exited the building, preston jumped right in a jeep and screwed, as did Dunn, but of course, Steve-o hung around for a bit. I had him sign my dvd case (the paper this time) "Marty, this video sucks, (heart) steve-o" he wrote. Then I wanted to take a picture with him, but the flash wasnt working... o yeah, did I mention that the beer got all over it? Steve-o still persisted and tried to make it work. He told someone else to take the picture and email to me, but I didn't see who took it. (so if you took that picture, tell me). Anyways, just wanted to let you all know that not only is steve-o a crazy fuck, hes a really cool guy...and throws up as much in person as he does on video. Peace.
From Steve-O:
I've seen on the board a lot of posts questioning whether I read the posts or not. I put this one up (with letters from people I don't know) on the board to say thanks and that I do indeed read this shit. Fuck, I'm always on this damn message board. I don't read every post, but it's not hard to get me to read one if you're creative. Thanks everyone.
