For the second portion of the Big Gypsy Day Party, we all moved inside the coffee house and had indoor music. Starting off with The Deceased, we moved on to a couple songs by Plaid Moon, followed by December Stars, who then gave the stage to Junebug to finish the night.

Junebug took the stage at about 11:45pm expecting to play about thirty minutes. It ended up being a bit longer than that, which is a good thing. The crowd were very much into it. It seems like they enjoyed this one more than the outdoor set a couple hours previous.

The normal Junebug show was there, starting with Piper, going nuts with the Cacophany Trilogy and laughing our way through Downtown Liquor Store. But then something amazing happened. At the beginning of Found My Boogie, Anthony said, "Get up," and everybody lept to their feet in an instant. Many times, it's taken a few tries and people tend to be a little inhibited. Not tonight. There were no butts in the seats. Everyone found their boogie and they wanted more. We skewed from the setlist to add Cupid, Bad MammaJamma, and Modern Day Fairy Tales so as to let our wonderful crowd feel the waves of the Junebug flow.

We brought the mood down a little bit with Copenhagen, but the energy never left. This crowd was fantastic!

Thank you to Amy Heidenreich for videotaping us, thanks to Aaron Clarksean for letting Tony use his kickdrum pedal, thanks to Kate and Carissa for driving a hundred miles to see us, and thanks to EVERYONE who cheered and danced and made us feel like rock stars.

It was a great night.

Tonight was supposed to be the big show. There was supposed to be a big ol' stage set up in the street and the street was to be blocked off and there was to be a huge block party. Since someone failed to meet their responsibilities (not Dan Cleberg who did everything expected of him), the street didn't get reserved and we didn't have a big ol' stage. But that didn't stop the party from happening!

There was a miniature stage outside set up against the Red Rooster's window that served as Tony's drum platform and Dustin and Anthony stood on the sidewalk below. The parking places immediately in front of the coffee house were blocked off and chairs and tables were set up for the many guests of the establishment. It was a very nice atmosphere and the weather was beautiful. It was perfect accomodation for an outdoor rock show.

Rob Drapeaux started off the evening with his acoustic flamenco work. Clown was next with an acoustic set of their own. December Stars finished closely behind, with Junebug bringing up the rear.

We played an assortment of "gems" to entertain and to entice the crowd into our show later that night.

The crowd was into it and a few fans made up signs that they waved at the band as they yelled "We love Junebug!" That boosted our egos for sure. There was great response and support from this great audience made up of Junebuggers, big fans, and Junebug newbies. It was a fun show. Dan Cleberg sat in on bass tonight. That's always fun. Thanks to Amy Heidenreich for videotaping for us! Thanks to everyone that made it to this show!

First and foremost, a HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who came out to the show and stuck around for the whole thing. It was a pretty long show and we can't tell you how much your support means to us.

Another HUGE bunch of thanks goes to Junebugger Dan, who is not only one of our biggest fans, but tonight was so kind as to man the door and the merchandise table. You are my rock star. You are my kind of guy. You rock a mountain lion's @$$. Seriously.

Junebug's opening band, Fed By Doris, had to cancel tonight. One of the members lives in Mobridge, SD and couldn't make it to Aberdeen. But luckily, Will Brown was here to save the day. He played some solo acoustic stuff that was really very good. We hope to maybe play with him again.

Dan Cleberg was on hand tonight to play bass with us on some tunes. It was nice to have some added instrumentation live.

According to PJ, the set tonight was 135 minutes without the intermission. That's a record for us. It beats our previous longest show by 45 minutes. Coolness.

We played Da Bomb by Fed By Doris tonight. It was unfortunate that the band couldn't play themselves. However, their drummer and bassist were present and they both happened to be playing with Junebug tonight. So Junebug with Dan Cleberg ripped up kind of a different version of the song with Dan on the vocals since Jer wasn't there, Tony on supporting vocals, and Dustin and Anthony on guitars. It was a fun one, that's for sure.

One thing that made this show different was that at the end, we kept playing beyond the setlist. Cupid was intended to be the last tune, but people wanted to hear more. So we played what we've got of a work-in-progress tentatively called Everything Seems Like a Dream. We then proceeded to play Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding and then Peej requested Happy Book of Smiles. And as if that wasn't enough, Dustin, Will, and Tony jammed for about 15 minutes on some blues impromptu.

We decided tonight that the Official Junebug Groupies are now called the Official Junebuggers.

It was a fun night.
