Show Notes: subCCultured: "The Krayons play the tune 'Non-Existent Headlines' before a particularly rowdy crowd in Corpus Christi, Texas on Jan. 5, 1993. The Krayons were one of the three bands set to open for Green Day that night. However, Green Day opted to postpone their performance due to illness, which resulted in a de facto headlining slot for The Krayons to a full room of fans who had paid to see Green Day."

Show Notes: Nathan Beaver: "I remember that Green Day show that was canceled because Mike hit his head on something and knocked himself out."

Andrew Bely: "My band, Spread, had the honour to play there once. We were to open for Green Day but they canceled as their bassist had hurt his head on a goal post that day. 7 people showed up after the news got around."

Stephen Seigel: "The Downtown Performance Center hosted about 800 performances in its four-and-a-half year existence. Every show welcomed people of all ages; every show was alcohol-free, and nearly every show had an admission under five dollars. And while Eye was catering to an underground audience for most of these shows, he cites the fact that many of the artists that played there went on to become platinum-selling acts. 'Bands like Green Day would be sleeping in my basement one day,' he remembers, 'and then the next day they're signing multi-million dollar contracts. Everything just transformed; that's the way it goes.'"

Brian McDonald: "...Mike ran into a pole headfirst (I think it was a silly little pillow fight with his girlfriend which was the cause of it) and fell on his elbows. After bleeding profusely, he went to the hospital and got stitches for his forehead and casts for both arms which had been broken. Because of that, the band has cancelled all their upcoming shows."

Billie Joe Armstrong: "In Irvine, California, Mike's girlfriend was having a pillow fight and, uh, Mike lost. Mike went right into a pole, had six stitches in his head, a whiplash, one broken arm and one sprained elbow. ...We were on tour and Mike and his girlfriend we're having a pillow fight, just joking around like crazy couples do, and he ran backwards straight into a pole and he fell really weird,' says Billie Joe. 'He broke his arm, sprained his elbow, he had six stitches in his head, and he had whiplash. We did get a good song out of it called Pulling Teeth, though.'"

Show Notes: The Daily Cougar: "Last spring Green Day was scheduled to play a date at Fitzgerald's two days before Austin's South By Southwest music conference but the show was cancelled abruptly amid rumors that bassist Mike had broken both arms by either a car crash or a freak basketball accident."

Show Notes: Eric Haase: "Hey, anyone know what is going on in Los Angeles at the Whisky on the 24th, since Green Day cancelled. Is Down By Law still gonna play?"

Hunter Oswald: "They played a tiny place in Tampa sometime around '90 and I wasn't able to go. (I don't remember why.) When I moved to Los Angeles, I was so fucking stoked that we were playing together at the Whiskey. Then the injury made them cancel. And I was so fucking bummed. I've still never seen them. I still really want to. Now I've got a daughter who does, too."

Show Notes: STE Collective: "This date was originally ear-marked for a return visit by GREEN DAY but bassist Mike broke his arm, the tour was cancelled & by the time they returned again they weren't doing D.I.Y. tours anymore."
