From the same first national tour as BS Poster #39, poster #40 promoted the bands appearance betore the mayhem of 1,350 college students at the infamous Darmouth University Annex.  Experiencing individual freedom for the first time – old enough to convince others to get into mutual trouble – well, even Bogus Slogan was learning about life on the road.

To get the band on the road, Mason Kimmers (vocals, guitar), had found an old 1930’s s big band touring bus, the mileage meter displayed 831,233.4.   Everyone figured that this was, at least the dial’s second time around.  Up on blocks, with shredded rubber tires a thick coat of dust through out the interior (a victim of too many Santa Ana winds); the prospects were no looking good untilthe band met mechanic deluxe Nicky “Va-Voom” Konopolis.

Also know as “Kono,” he had wandered backstage after a local club gig, raving about minor 9ths against walking bass lines supporting the octatonic scale.  Somebody started him with a beer and for the next 30 minutes he ruminated on music theory, comparing the turn of the century classical avant-garde with the middle Musique concrète period.  When he finally glanced down at his empty beer bottle with a look of dismay,  Kimmer, with omniscience from outer space, asked Kono if he knew how to fix a bus.
