Severe Tire Damage is invited to Cal State University Hayward to speak to a group of multimedia graduate students March 1, 2000. The topic: "STD's Stupid Internet Tricks". After pizza and a few pitchers of beer the band regales students with useless facts and tall tales. The audience doesn't laugh at any of the Monty Python references in the lecture and seems frightened when STD launches into hits like "Carcinoma" and "Chris Killed Your Dog". Highlights include a listing of previous STD drummers and how they died, a few phone calls to Mark's cel phone from viewers on the Internet, and screaming feedback and drum smashing as the band leaves the stage after the last tune.
It remains to be seen if STD gets the promised honorarium from CSUH. Always get payment in advance, kids.
