It was the Friday night MPLS Habit series sponsored by KFAI FM and the Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis. We had all been there before on previous occasions, just in a hanging out capacity, but this was our first time playing at the Acadia.

The other acts were really great. As we were watching them, though, we began wondering if the organizers really knew what kind of music we play. The other acts were much quieter than we are. We were the only ones with a drum kit. We talked to Cait Leary, one of the performers and the person who put the show together, and she assured us that, yes, she was well aware that we are a bit louder.  Whew. Weight off our shoulders.

Our performance was timed just right, it seems. Right about the time we started, another show down the block just ended and the patrons were all coming into the Acadia for a drink. Seeing as how our show was free, that encouraged folks to stick around. We pretty much just played Beards tonight, minus "Handlebar" and adding "Refrigerator."

We won over some new folks, and sold some of our wares and trinkets. We want to thank Cate Leary, MPLS Habit, Cait Leary, and KFAI for a great, fun night.
