Decked out in authentic buffalo horn headgear, which according to Massenbaum was inspired by a 1983 photograph of Andy Taylor at a ranch in Billings, Montana taken by a then-fan, the 'bunch' has so far stopped workmen from entering the parking lot of the venue to clean out the portable toilets.  "We have to show them that we won't back down until Andy is on the bill," says Tammy Sarnswiggler, mother of three and proud "buffy", as they call themselves.

The group began organizing on the internet in summer 2000.   "I met Tammy in a Duran Duran chatroom," Massenbaum recalls.  "When I found out that she too was an avid Andy fan, we just went with it.  We both had copies of the "buffalo" picture from our mutual penpal Debbie, and the horns just grew from there.  Then this show came about. We knew it was time to put our Andy worship to work!".

When asked of the whereabouts of the aforementioned Debbie, the group grew solemn.  "It's a horrible story," Tammy confesses.  "She met this awful guy who wasn't an Andy fan at all.  He'd never even seen "American Anthem". He promised her a bunch of crap like a house, kids, and a happy life, and like a dummy she left the herd.  We never heard from her again."

Fellow protesters and Buffalo Bunch-ers Kate and Josh Buttersby met in that same internet chatroom.  Josh, a reformed "Tigger Team" member ("Though I still sport my little ears every now and again for old times' sake," he notes), wooed seventeen year old second-generation Andy fan without resorting to one of his smooth Duran pickup lines.  "I used to tell
everybody I was Rob Cuccurullo, Warren's brother," he says.  "I would try anything to get them to email me.  I would promise backstage passes, tickets to shows, whatever it took. I even used to send out a picture of this squat truck driver I took in New Jersey, so that I could be all freaky and anonymous."  But it all changed when he met Kate one Friday night in AOL room "Andy4-ever".  "She was just really real.  She didn't even fall for the 'I know Simon's brother the chiropracter' trick.  I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life, or at least a few minutes in person, with her." One year after finally meeting, they were married in the fresh fish section of a local Hy-Vee grocery store chain.  "We knew Andy would have dug that, since he owned that restaurant and all."

Marcea Newton, a recent convert to the Bunch and former Duran groupie, protests beside her herdmates, but refuses to wear the horns.  "I thought they'd be really weird about that at first," Newton says, "but since I showed them my collection of wickety Duran cockhairs, they said I could take part anyway.  They really dug my Duran home-tattoos too."

"Marcea is a great girl," Massenbaum beams, "and she makes a great addition to the herd.  Besides, it's not being a buffalo on the outside, it's what's on the inside that counts!  And she's definitely earned her buffalo wings!".  Her connections to the band and their entourage don't hurt either.  "We need a representative in there, helping us get the fab five back together.  She and Simon are like kissing cousins, so we know we can count on her to send faxes when we need it!".

Though the show the group is protesting against isn't scheduled until March, they plan on camping out every day until then, thus barring more minimum wage laborers from entering the grounds.  "They won't take us seriously if we don't show them that the Buffalos will not migrate until we get what we want.  Fab five.  Or four.  Or just Andy.  Or someone who knows him."

When reached for comment, Taylor declined support for the protest, saying only,  "They should all go home and watch Teletubbies."
