My computer had a sense of humor enough
to snap an image of me discovering that it
hadn't recorded a single second of the show.
You can taste the disappointment.
Again, we returned to the Driftwood Char Bar in South Minneapolis. It's always a fun and interesting place to play. 

This time we were joined by our new friends, Back Pocket Hymnal. This band is great and you should hear them. Plus, their singer, Kay, lent her vocal stylings to our upcoming album Beards

Now, I wish I could tell you more about this show than I can. Truth is, I was really sick and saturated with Nyquil. My throat was raw and I didn't sing. My head was stuffed up, and it took all my energy just to play a decent show. I really can't recall much of it. I just remember that we seemed to play well, the crowd seemed to respond well, we all had fun, I drank a fourth of a glass of beer, which was too much in my cold-medicined state, I packed up my gear, went home, crashed HARD on my pillow, and got up for work in the morning, sick as a dawg. (Not the animal, but the Randy Jackson devotee.)

Normally, I make some sort of recording of these shows in case some memory lapse like this happens. This time, however, the application on my computer which I use to record video of these shows was on the still-picture setting and I didn't realize. Cruel computer gods.

I can only rely on my memory for this show, which doesn't really do anyone much good.
