Tonight was a good night. We had a moderately small crowd, but that was okay. We kind of like that sometimes.


We had a TV screen on stage and during the first set we showed an Anime series called Esca Flowne. The first set started off with "Vacation to Oblivion" followed by "Prince Caspian" but this time, instead of going into "Cake" we blasted "Piper" out there. Whew! That was risky. We revived an old sing along that we used to do back in the day...yeah, like two months ago. Woo-Hoo!
And then for a special guest spot, we had Bruce Likness come up and do vocals on the third slot in the "Cacophany Trilogy". He sang "Jesus is Lord" in his best hard-core voice. Hard. Core. to the Bone. Bruce.

Crystal was finally at a show to hear the song that was written for her answering machine. It was good that she finally heard it.

During the break, we switched Esca Flowne with Transformers: the Movie for the second set.
We played the Radiskull's song for PJ and a brand new version of JCM's "Jack and Diane". Ah yes, the Macho Man Mix. Dustin sang "Oh yeeah" just like Macho Man Randy Savage and fun was had by all.

Then on the next song, we definitely had some Pink Floyd/Wizard of Oz-ish stuff going on. We debuted a brand new song called "Like a Dream". It's kind of a somber tune, very dreamlike in nature and even sad and angst filled at times. While we played it, the television screen showed the dramatic and mournful death of Optimus Prime. Cosmic coincidences don't happen every day.

Dustin dedicated "Rich & Poor" to Unicron and after that, a few in the crowd chanted, "Hat, hat, hat." It was weird. Then we played our peppier dancier tunes. Our most devoted fans found their boogie and rose to their feet and danced the night away. THANKS, JUNEBUGGERS!!!
