Finished Deryck's Book

And after 20+ years, I finally learned something I wondered about.

Gonna throw this under a spoiler just in case.

At the end of chapter 9, he talks about how he missed a show because he was at a party with then girlfriend Paris Hilton, one of the guys from Pennywise and Scott Weiland and faking an orgy to hide their drug use from the cops who showed up for what turned out to be a noise complaint. The timeline he gives for this made me stop and go "wait a minute.."

So after doing some very light cross referencing, I have deduced this show he went AWOL at was my first ever Sum 41 show and first concert overall. September 2003 at the Western Fairgrounds in London. We all showed up, watched the opening bands and waited for Sum to come on stage and after a long delay they came on stage, made an announcement that Deryck was unable to make the show and they rescheduled for the next night.

So if anyone else attended this show, now you know.
