When Everclear

When Everclear plays 4th & B tomorrow, their contract rider requires the venue to stock and cater the band's tour bus (by 2 p.m. on day of show) as well their backstage dressing rooms. Necessary provisions include one liter of sweetened Soya milk, a quart of Tropicana orange juice ("not from concentrate"), one box Nutrigrain cereal ("no sugar"), one bag Tostitos tortilla chips ("with fat!"), trays featuring deli meats, fruit, and veggies as well as "assorted bite size [sic] candies, e.g., Snickers, 3 Musketeers, and Cadbury." The separate crew bus must also be outfitted with 12 quarts of assorted Gatorade, a quart of grapefruit juice, Tostitos, and "one small jar medium hot salsa."

The band's dressing room is to be stocked with 48 bottles of non-carbonated "good spring water" ("half [of them] room temperature"), three bottles Perrier mineral water, a "complete setup for coffee and tea at all times," a bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese, and 48 Gatorade bottles ("lemon ice, orange, lemon lime, fruit punch only"). "Very important" is the request for a 12-pack of Vernors brand ginger ale. Perhaps that's for Art.
