Editing Meat Puppets (section)

===Break up (2002–2005)===
Around 2002, Meat Puppets dissolved after Duplantis left the band. Curt went on to release albums with the groups [[Eyes Adrift]] and [[Volcano (supergroup)|Volcano]]. In 2005, he released his first solo album entitled ''[[Snow (Curt Kirkwood album)|Snow]]''.

Bassist Cris was arrested in December 2003 for attacking a security guard at the main post office in downtown Phoenix, Arizona with the guard's baton.  The guard shot Kirkwood in the stomach at least twice during the melee, causing serious gunshot injuries requiring major surgery.  Kirkwood was subsequently denied bail, the judge citing Kirkwood's previous drug arrests and probation violations. He eventually went to prison at the [[Arizona State Prison Complex - Florence|Arizona state prison]] in [[Florence, Arizona]] for felony assault. He was released in July 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Extreme turnaround - The Boston Globe|url=http://archive.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2007/09/02/extreme_turnaround/|access-date=2021-02-04|website=archive.boston.com|language=en}}</ref>

Derrick Bostrom began a web site for the band about six months before the original trio stopped working together. The site went through many different permutations before it was essentially mothballed in 2003. In late 2005, Bostrom revamped it, this time as a "[[blog]]" for his recollections and as a place to share pieces of Meat Puppets history.
