Iron Lung from the first UGZ Speed Trials at Burnt Ramen in Richmond, 2003.
The following year we held them at the Slaughterhaus in Oakland, and then a couple of years later we held a few at Gilman, but even then I had to come out the pocket at first for posters, decorations, and trophies. Thankfully Will Rutherford (who also painted the walls behind the Gilman stage for us) stepped in as treasurer at some point and I was able to get reimbursed for some of that stuff. The trophies were from a spot in Fremont, and I used to drive out there from Berkeley to pick them up, usually a day or two before the shows. Gilman was never that supportive of the UGZ Speed Trials, but there were always enough of us to win the vote.
