Private Party for "The Wasted Youth" (the unofficial Taste the Waste Fan Club
Caffey ate sausage on his pizza for the first time in 12 years before the gig. He felt ill and sat out the first 5 songs.

Caffey jumped on Whelan and the remaining members Orca's Feces and Taste the Waste jumped in the rumble. Both bands were arrested for unruly behavior, however Chainsaw was in possession of prescription strength robotusin from Canada. The show has yet to be rescheduled. details to follow)
