Tonight is a long story, I guess. First off, Mark Hilstrom from somewhere in Wisconsin was booked to play. He didn't show up. He didn't call, he didn't write, he made no contact, he just didn't show up. Fed By Doris was supposed to open for him, so they just figured that Fed By Doris would be the openers and the headliners. That was fine. Jer left at about 8:30 to get something to eat. Then 9:30 rolled around and where was Jer? Dan and Tony K. ran down to the flame where Jer and Ky and Tony J. and Sharon were. They hadn't even received their meal yet and it turned out Jer had almost completely lost his voice. So it would be almost impossible to do a real FBD show.

Dan asked if Junebug would like to play an acoustic set since we were all there, so what we decided was that Anthony would do some solo work and Tony would do some solo work and that Tony and Dan would do a few FBD tunes.

Anthony began with a quaint little tune, "My Dad". On a whim, Dustin told Tony, "Let's go up." So they did and played the first set under the name "Shaggy Bandits." The set included "It's Been a Long Time" which appears on The Big Orange Van, Dead Beat Duck, which appears on Anthony's Rebel Without a Car, and Jumpstart My Rocket which will be on the new Junebug album.

Next was Tony with some stuff from his solo album, Drama Queen. Dustin joined in on drums on "If I Could Cook" and moved to bass for the rest of the set. This set included some of Tony's originals, some "rare" Junebug songs and a few covers and teases.

Dan got a chance to come on up and we played Da Bomb with Bruce on vocals and the third set of the night was underway. Dan named this group "The Stone Cold Fobstoppersons." I'm a little fuzzy on how things went for this set because Tony's camcorder stopped and I can't remember such things very well. I remember that at one point Dan, Dustin, and Tony were talking about various celebrities they'd met; the Smashing Pumpkins, Mary-Ann from Gilligan, the guy that wrote the "That Thing You Do" song from that movie, and Bruce chimed in saying he's met Mickey Mouse.

Peanut Butter was pretty fun too. Dan had Anthony take a mic into the audience Oprah style and have audience members sing verses.

Bruce requested Fargo Gypsy Girl and we said we'd play it if he sang it. So we did. And he did. He actually knows the song too. That's pretty cool.

We ended up playing more and more stuff till about 1:00am and then Dan closed the coffee house and everyone left. But we still played till about 1:40 just to amuse ourselves.
