[I] drove the band and the gear in [my] Bronco II with a U-Haul trailer. The only thing was there were no enclosed trailers available, so the band was forced to rent what became known as the hooptie ride, an open trailer on which they stretched a blue tarp over the gear. This made it impossible to leave the truck anywhere without bringing the gear along.}} | [I] drove the band and the gear in [my] Bronco II with a U-Haul trailer.

Weezer arrived in Berkeley, CA on [[August 14]] without a gig scheduled, and, in Koch's words, proceeded to "just show up at bay area clubs until they got added to a show."<ref name="08/13/1992">[[Historic event: 08/14/1992]]</ref> They tried asking for stage time at three distinct clubs - including "Gilman," the venue that helped launch [[Green Day]], [[The Offspring]], [[Rancid]], and other bands - but they were turned away each time. Koch recorded parts of the evening, including a full-band acapella take of "[[Please Sweet Peepers]]", a [[Rivers Cuomo]] demo which would not see release until November of [[2020]] as part of ''[[Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years]]''. An improvised song named "[[Symphony of Sludge]]" was also recorded, later that night at Jason Cropper's mother's house. It featured Cuomo on flute and Cropper "and others" on piano.<ref name="08/13/1992" /> | |||
