We didn't know we were playing this show until the proverbial "last minute". Anthony had planned to go to Minneapolis to see Wookiefoot, but his plans fell through. He knew there was a big show going on at the Coffee House for New Year's so he called Tony (at 1:00am Dec 31) and asked if he thought we could get on the bill. Tony then called Dustin and he talked to Dan. At 1:00pm, Tony got a call from Dustin and Dan saying we were on. Anthony received a call from Tony at 2:00pm saying "We're on for tonight. We play at 8:00." Anthony replied, "Sh*t, I guess I better move my a**!"
So six hours before our stage time, Anthony got in his car and drove to Aberdeen from Fargo and arrived in time to play the show. Well, we took the stage and Anthony played "Last Moment of 2001" which was his New Year's song. Then we played a typical high octane, party down, rock and roll to the next episode until everything seems like a dream type of show.
At one point, Dustin refused to play. Dan Cleberg played bass with us tonight. Tony claimed to have almost fallen asleep. Some kids were making out during "Bad MammaJamma"
So as you can see, there were some bizarre moments.
God bless 2001. Or something.

Tonight, we paid homage to the true heroes of rock and roll, Def Leppard. This was our biggest show yet. There were approximately 43 billion screaming fans chanting, "Rock and Roll Legends!" We knew they were actually chanting for us, but we gave the credit where it was due. Threw it right back to the boys, not to mention the drummer, who's only GOT ONE ARM!

By popular demand (and numerous death threats) we decided to cover the album Euphoria in its entirety. You, the fans, couldn't have chosen better. It was a blast learning this music and playing it the one and only time we'll ever play it. We finished off by playing the hit song "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and finally "Jumpstart My Rocket" which was popularized by us, but actually written by Def Leppard. A lot of people don't know that. If you missed this show, sorry. You'll never see it again.

All the proceeds from tonight's show go to the American Endowment for Wheelchair Mimes and boy, they're rich now, let me tell you.

Tonight was the first time we played in a bar and it was also the first time we played with amazing Aberdeen band, Five Point Theory. It was suggested that we play a show with them and we absolutely jumped at the chance.

We used their system and lights and Tony used Matt's (5PT drummer) kit. There was no one there at first so we waited around for people to show up. We started a half hour late, but it was cool.

We played a classic set with our traditional mix of humor and ROCK.

We also played "Da Bomb" tonight. This is the first time we played it without any members of Fed By Doris playing with us. Tony did lead vocals and drums, Dustin and Anthony did guitars and backing vocals. It was pretty sweet.

"Cherub Rock" was the lead-in to Next Episode tonight...a little shaky, but it was okay.

Bryna came all the way from St. Cloud, MN to see the show tonight, so we played "She Don't Love Him" especially for her (one of her favorite songs).

It would have been a perfect opportunity to play "Downtown Liquor Store" and it WAS on the setlist, but unfortunately time was running low and we got cut short.

It was a great show and we look forward to possibly playing with Five Point Theory again in the future.
