We weren't sure Anthony was going to make it to this show. We thought it was either he play the show or quit his job. Well, it turned out that he was able to pull some strings and make it anyway. Woo!
Fed By Doris opened the show for us tonight playing a little longer so that we had time to all get assembled. Dan Cleberg also played bass with us tonight for the whole show. Yay Dan!
Things were a little weird tonight. We had an odd setup and some of the sound balance was off. There was a lot of flopping around and kicking over of mic stands and some drums, cymbals, etc. In the words of Anthony, "There were some truly brilliant moments tonight..." but there were also some awful moments. Such as Jumpstart My Rocket... Tuning was off, people were playing in different keys, and then Tony's kickdrum pedal fell apart in two places at the same time. We had to stop. Heather (in the audience) mouthed the words, "What the hell is going on?" We left it up to the Junebuggers whether or not we should continue. The vote was in favor of abadoning it. We did.
Elizabeth joined us on "Like a Dream" tonight. Yay Liz!
Near the end of the show, Dustin ripped the setlists off the floor and shoved them in his mouth. He also rolled on the stage knocking over the water-filled Farah Fawcett cup. He also lept atop Tony's kickdrum and jumped off. He then rolled on the ground throwing over mic stands. Then Tony stood up and meagerly pushed over his cymbal stand. He then gingerly tipped over his floor tom. Finally, he tossed his sticks at the floor where the cymbal lay. An audience member was heard saying, "Go Keith Moon."
At the very end of the show, Dustin gave some advice; "Don't drink and play music, kids."
