OK, may as well give a little review of the show...
The crowd was a little underwhelming considering the number of people who told me they were "definitely going"... you'd think I would have learned by now. I kept hoping to see more people come in as the show wore on, but to my disappointment, not many did.

So much for us getting another gig there, I guess. Oh well.

Exploding Christ was great... I really enjoyed their set a lot. Even the guy who works the board (Russ) was getting a kick out of it, and from my phone conversations with him he struck me as a little on the more-PC side. They did a great job paving the road for the rest of the night. Good job guys, let's do it again sometime.

The Old Men were excellent... this is the first I'd heard them, and I'm looking forward to playing with them again next month. Straight-forward rock, great leads, great vocals, there is a lot to like there. For the record, Jeff don't look that "old". *shrug* You guys need to commit some of your stuff to tape so I can have a copy. Maybe we could do a split? The "Men" split.

I thought our own set started off OK but I could sense my own playing deteriorate quickly... also knocking shit over. Yay alcohol. FWIW, a few people said, "no, you guys all sounded great", so hopefully that's true. I really am not in love with that stage; felt very cramped and I was standing on a shitload of wires and cables. Also, those monitors are not for me... give me a good (or even shitty) floor monitor over those things any day. Something I can put my foot on and look like the cock-rocker I am. Cock. We rolled through our set and, for some reason, were asked to play Homicide again. I love that song, but wasn't aware it was a crowd favorite. Then we did a bunch of covers... Yakuza/Samurai, which we usually do, then I think we tried to do Bite It You Scum... did we get all the way through that? Then some Misfits... Blitzkrieg... then we got shut off or something. It all gets foggy.

It was cool meeting some of you guys and putting faces to the names, hope you guys enjoy your demos, and had a good time. It wasn't quite the bash I was hoping for... it was more like any of our other gigs we've done in the past, but it was a nice change of venue, and now I can say, "yeah, I played Coyote Ugly".
