Left: Main stage engineer Jim Matheson {left} and Auditorium engineer Mike "J TUNA" Donatello are having fun sending wacky messages over the 2-way communication system. Of course the first emergency call was from J TUNA to find who took his Italian Sausage with sweet peppers and could the offending party return it, unscathed. It was never to return again. The situation is under investigation and the mystery plagues the company to this day. The case is being referred to as the "Sausage Snatching of 2001". Right: Stage Technicians extraordinaire Erik "EROCK - I must own every guitar amplifier ever made" Naprstik {Green shirt} and Mike "Blues Guitar Groove" McDowell {MMC} {lower right with dreadlocks} relax after setting and pinning the act on stage. These guys get it right the first time, every time. EROCK is under investigation in connection with the "Sausage Snatching of 2001" as he actually went to get the crew food and was responsible for distribution. Allegations of flawed distribution methods {here is a sandwich, maybe its yours}, sloppy accounting, and failure to communicate are flying around. Dave "That feedback wasn't me" Levit is also involved in the Weenie Caper as he ate lunch with no witnesses that are still alive to tell their story. MMC feels that the other individuals on the crew can't understand normal thinking and that we should go with a liquid lunch in the future. We have submitted the case to America's Most Wanted, although, they are apprehensive to get involved at this time. CSI, FBI, and CIA investigators cannot be reached for comment.

This less than flattering photo is an exhausted Dave Levit, President and CEO. This shot was snapped towards the end of the 3rd and final 12+ hour day of the fest. Dave engineered the 5th Province as he has so many times over the last 12 years. He also designed, tested, and prepped all systems. Being the biggest weenie in the company {several documented measurements on file}, he indicates that all evidence in the Sausage Snatching of 2001 is circumstantial and would not stand in the 5th Province. Should a hearing occur, Roman {not on site for the incident} has agreed to come in as a character witness for Dave. He claims that Dave is completely lacking in character and knows that nobody can really stand in the 5th Province after six pints. They are always "Floored". According to Dave, "EROCK will continue to be the Lunch Lady until he gets it right or his "unfortunate" accident involving an SM57 {complete with clip} getting lodged in a place that most people would not imagine it fitting. Of course the exceptions would be of most Dominatrixes, current patrons of The Man Hole, and possibly Wendy-O-Williams.
