Post Neo Explosionism 2003 show at the Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester UK

The PNE show in Manchester, England on June 20th, 2003, at the Richard Goodall Gallery was incredible! We had tons of good press as well as a huge turn out. The show highlighted the recent commision for Queens of the Stone Age. Jermaine Rogers, Emek and I did posters for all 28 dates of Queens 2003 Spring Tour. Josh Homme and Troy Van Leeuwen came down and hung out. They were very cool and way into the series that we did for them. They sat down and signed posters for every single fan that waited for hours for them to show up.

After the gallery showing, we went to see them play at Manchesters Apollo Theatre. They gave us the full red carpet treatment with front row seats in the VIP balcony box. The show was amazing, those guys give it 150% every time they play. One on the Coolest parts of the evening was when Josh gave us a shout out and said "This one goes out to Justin, Emek and Jermaine!" You could hear all of the folks who went to the gallery showing cheer. Awesome, it was a total rock and roll fantasy. We hung out with the band backstage after the show, bunch of cool guys. Josh wanted to take it out to the streets and invited us out to party some more but we were shagged from the days events and left while we still could.

Backstage we were all given cool ass Q (egg & sperm) rings by Hutch. He designed their Q logo as well album cover and does their sound and lights.

Here's the ring up close. It was an epic day on an epic trip to Europe.
