Thursday night at the Nestor. The bar was smokey, the crowd was sparse, and the bar staff was friendly. It was a pretty typical Nestor night. Totally Killer Nachos opened for us tonight. They were comprised of some guys we knew back in Jamestown: Travis (formerly of "Outpatient 13", Bud (formerly of Mediocrity and Meddle) and Chris (formerly of Meddle). Also on bass was a guy that Tony met once twelve years ago and actually remembered.

We opened our set with the newest incarnation of "Junebug Flow". That song keeps changing bit by bit. I think it's actually getting better. It was fun at any rate. Continuing the supercharged beginning of this show was "Underneath the Sweet Love" right into "Bad MammaJamma". Man, does it get any better?

"Casanova" had the groovy jazzy beginning tonight. It's been awhile since we've done that. "Vacation to Oblivion" made a brief appearance tonight as did our old friends the Golden Girls. Also tonight we debuted our NEW cover of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". We learned that the song happens to be a Totally Killer Nachos staple, so we invited Travis and Bud to sing with us on that tune, which was our show closer.

Tonight was Dustin's sister's 21st birthday. But she couldn't come in to the show. She was so drunk they wouldn't let her in. Yikes. Poor Jennie.

Some old friends from Jamestown were there tonight. As was mentioned before, Travis, Bud and Chris were there as well as our old friend Clare Olson and old buddy Sam Mandan. Good times. Good times.

All in all, it was a pretty rawkin show.
