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.
