Whip has finally finished proofreading the All Access from the summer European 2008 tour. It has been uploaded, click here to read it.  Here are a few interesting quotes for you to read.

- I did catch my eye on a plastic sex sheep in Jason’s bunk.. Well well…

- During the afternoon there were some drunken Scandinavian dudes playing in a blow-up pool.

- Then, all of a sudden a driver jumped out of a truck and pulled a knife. Our driver got out of the truck and walked up the him and punched him in the face and knocked him out.

- We are dumbfounded as we just realized we blew up the festival.

- A gay couple walked past me and one growled and blew in my ear!!!
