My fave Higgs live banter was a long song intro about standing naked in front of full length mirror that segued into a longer side bit about why mirrors don't provide an accurate representation of your reflection since the glass is full of imperfections that you can't see so the image you seen in a mirror is actually a distortion of reality but the were the best tool we had and anyway here's Wonderwall

They were opening for Fugazi and though there Lungfish fans in the crowd for the most part the discrepancy between the mindset of the band the mindset of the crowd was like this *holds hands as far apart as possible*

Hah hah that is very Higgsian. I only ever saw Lungfish live once, and can't even remember who else was on the bill. My buddy Tyler and I both recall that Higgs actually ate a ballpoint pen onstage (no really) but I kind of find it hard to believe that it actually happened. I do not put his kind of thing past Higgs though ....

I believe the ballpoint pen thing, that sounds about right. I saw them three times in one yr, twice opening for Fugazi and once with Gas Huffer of all the random bands on planet earth, Lungfish played the same set each time, "Sound In Time" straight through.
The show with Gas Huffer was an early all-ages matinee so doors were at 4 in the afternoon, it at the 7th Street Entry in Mpls which is right down town and the back door was open to the street so there was light pouring in and you could see people walking around, city traffic, etc.
There used to be a coffee bar in the First Ave mainroom, which otherwise was closed & house lights were on and I was drinking a coffee and smoking a Backwoods cigar and Higgs was smoking a cig and we talked about how weird it was that I was smoking a Backwoods and also I was working overnights at the time so 4 PM was roughly 4 AM to me so this was all talking place within about 45 minutes of me waking up.
