WAZOO: Heya.
MR: Oh, hello there. Umm, what's that in the box?
W: Wheat Treaties, man. (munch)
MR: You mean the boiled-not-fried wheat crisp snack thingy
they're always pushing on TV?
W: Yah. (munch)
MR: Why not just get a filling breakfast? The tent is only two
rows down.
W: Just doesn't meet my fix, man. Riboflavin. I'm sort of
addicted to it.
MR: You're admitting your addiction?
W: Hey, man, could be worse. I'm no druggie. Worst you get
from an OD of wheat crisps is a bit of constipation.
MR: Well, now that I've bumped into you, what's your opinion on
the current state of the band?
W: Huh?
MR: How's it going?
W: Oh, cool. Nothin' odd. Makin' cash, eatin' wheat, havin'
fun. It's a gas.
ZEEBO: Banana tomahawk?
W: Come on out, dude. S'cool, just this reporter guy.
MR: Hello there.
Z: Firemen! Kilroy squiggle chess?
MR: Excuse me?
W: Just a little problem with the speech chip, bud. We
overlook it, he's cool and can beat out a bitchin' rhythm.
I gotta run, man, I'm gettin' low on ribos. Catchya at the
concert, 'k?

I attempted to continue the interview with Zeebo, but it
seems Wazoo is the only band member that understands him. The
final band member, Wrath, greeted me (sort of) just after waking
up from the noise outside the trailer. I can testify although
she looks frazzled, grumpy, and annoyed first thing in the
morning, that's pretty much her stage appearance also. This is
the extent of her interview :

WRATH: Who the hell are you?
MR: I'm a reporter from Motivated--
W: Media sucks. (SLAM)

I checked up on her personality profile from five issues
back of our magazine later that day. "Anarchic, arrogant, and
nonconformist, easy to anger." Sounds appropriate.

Not much happened until around 10 AM, when the gates opened
and fans began to flow into the carnival and stage areas. No
acts were playing at the moment, so I took the chance to go
interview a few of the fans.
