Time To Battle!

DODES just received a call from the owner of The Spot (where they just played) and he wants them to play again tonight. Dodes is amped: “Rock 'n' roll!” Riiiiiggghhhhtttt.

FLICK time. Dominic: “We’re gonna go over and set up at this kid’s house. He said there would be over 200 people there.” Nice. House party. So FLICK takes off, hoping to sell “at least 60 CDs.” In the car, Cory thinks they are “right near the Hoover Dam," a mistaken impression which VH1, in true Pop-Up Video style, is quick to correct. Apparently, Cory, the Hoover Dam is 2,000 miles away from Columbus. Waps. So anyway, they show up expecting 200 people and find 3. I’m not kidding. There are literally three people there. So they make up some story about having a gig that they’re gonna go play and “come back when things pick up a little.” Not, that’s such a lie. Cory: “They had their little combo amps set up and their little guitars and they were like, ‘You guys wanna jam with us and stuff?’ Yeah, dude, we’ll jam with you as soon as we’re done leaving here and never coming back.” Bwa ha ha! I’m sorry, but that’s actually really funny. FLICK is out. Fletcher gives a thumbs down and a mouth fart. Hey, at least they all got beers.

At The Spot, DODES is warming up the crowd. “Come out to the Battle of the Bands tomorrow night and vote for us, 'cause we don’t wanna go home.” True. They start to play, and I gotta say that Jo Jo is really quite an incredible drummer. Everyone in the band is actually pretty good, but I don’t think they’re hitting up the Trustifarian (a.k.a. Credit Card Hippie) demographic enough. If they did, they’d dump all their merch in a day.

At FLICK camp, the band is wondering how they’re gonna stay in this thing. They’ve already resolved that they can’t sell enough merch to catch up to everyone else. Cory: “Since day one, we’ve been saying that we’re the best live band on this thing, so if we lose tomorrow, our entire argument is gone and we deserve to go home.” Everyone agrees. Brandin: “We’re not salesmen.” Word -- you’re the best rock band ever. Don’t let anyone ever tell you different, dude.
