SIEGE: "I was a dishwasher and Duncan was a dishwasher too in Seattle. The machines were industrial, but not industrial enough to actually WASH the dishes... you had to wash the dishes first before you put them in. And the job really sucked - being a dishwasher is a weird steamy sweaty form of slavery....

Duncan used to send me letter fro Seattle; one came with this cartoon. Awesome.

But it was the two weeks that I worked at Bob's Big Burgers (which I was fired from, ....I don't know why) got me the money to buy my first bass."
