Band Journal Entry: 3/23/91

Recently, M.I.T. announced they were offering $10,000 for conclusive proof of psychic ability. Upon hearing the news, two things occurred to us: 1) $10,000 is the exact amount of money we need to get on the road, and 2) Our water cooler can tell the future. Granted, in a world of supernatural phenomenon a psychic drink dispenser is perhaps a little unorthodox, but for 10 g's we don't care if our crystal ball says "Sparkletts" across the front.

So we called the boys at M.I.T. and told them we had the Jean Dixon of kitchen appliances right here in our apartment. One hour later, our living room was filled with guys in lab coats scribbling furiously on small note pads while JT attempted to extract the mysteries of life from a five gallon jug of mountain spring water.

Over the years, the cooler has communicated with us via an intricate code of bubbles and gurgles which have learned to interpet. With the M.I.T. boys in the room, however, the cooler had only one thing to say: "Bill Clinton's Attorney General will be the Michellin Tire Man.". Sensing discontent on the part of our potential benefactors, JT went for the bluff, saying we sould get $20,000 because the cooler was psychic and had a sense of humor.

Unfortunatly, M.I.T. was totally unimpressed. So we asked them if their scientific minds would be interested in noting the effects of gravity on a water cooler dropped from a 20 story apartment building. They said it would be worth a beer, so as it stands right now, we have no idea what will happen to us in the future - except for the fact that we won't be touring soon - and we're drinking a lot of tap water...
