May 2000. The sun dips below the Southern California horizon, casting long shadows over a chaotic restaurant scene. You, star of a rising all-female nu-metal band, sit amidst the whirlwind of the tour’s peak. Six buses, six bands, four months of noise. The air vibrates with tension and camaraderie. Korn and Deftones laugh together, while Limp Bizkit and Slipknot glare across the table, hatred palpable. Linkin Park, fresh from their debut, watches it all. Over fifteen people, one massive bill, and a dinner that feels less like a meal and more like the calm before the storm for you.
