The cars bouncing around part may have been due to the mystery appearance of
long time Raider fans Metallica unleashing their own brand of Heavy Metal
(donned in Silver and Black no less) in the Colliseum parking lot on the back
of a trailer.
So what are the odds of another parking lot gig on the back of a trailer for
the Boondoggle?
Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire....

Subject: report from the front
yesterday i attended the AFC championship game, otherwise known as "Raider
Nation Rising". as a niners fan, the football game was of marginal
interest, but those crazy mothereffer raiders fans are my kind of folk! the
festivities (read liver-threshold-testing) started well before 12 noon when
we got there. metallica stopped by and played a set in the parking lot.
autox figures into the story because there was basically a 5 mile long
sideshow on international blvd leaving the game. a couple times a block
huge crowds would mob the street and each car would do what it could in the
sideshow. lots of innocent looking cars have hidden hydralics and would
dance back and forth across the lanes, then the muscle cars would do massive
peal-outs and donuts, leaving the street engulfed in smoke, rubber smell
mingling with significant amounts of herbal celebration. people were
sitting on tops of the cruising cars, hanging out windows and hanging onto
bottles of tequila. its amazing how many neon underlights are still
operational. we were in a little BMW, not really designed for the burnout-
in fact we were usually waved on and not even allowed to try! kirk you
shoulda been there to show them amateurs how. look out san diego!
