I booked my first show on February 20 in the years 2000 amidst my one failed year at UC Santa Cruz without any clue what I was doing. I had some help from the local kids but my overhead to not lose money was $1,200 and Death By Stereo had bailed last minute. The Nerve Agents showed up to headline and, despite breaking the mic cord on the first song, delivered a great set and drew enough people to make the night a huge success.
