Tonight, One World Productions presented "Twin Cities Tonight" at the Whiskey Junction. Three bands, two comics, one helluva good time. Comedian Gabe Noah started the night, then Sunshine Behavior, Junebug, comedian John Conroy, and Parallax.

When it was our turn to play, as we were gearing up, a girl from the crowd yelled, "Blow us away!" We told her that it wasn't even a question. I don't know if we "blew her away" but she ended up buying a disc and enjoying us. So what more can we ask? Also, to introduce the set, Anthony informed the crowd that we had intended to burn the place down with our rock, but the manager of the place said insurance wouldn't cover it. He asked if we could blow the roof off the place, but that wasn't covered either. So he said that we would provide the best time we possibly could without causing any real property damage. It's a bummer, but we stuck to it.

Tonight's set was devised by our very own Nick Wosika. We said that if you hate it, it's Nick's fault, but if you love it, yeah, we're geniuses. We opened with "Pay the Toll" and truly rocked it proper. Afterward, it was so successful that Anthony announced, "That song really pooped us out. We've got one more for ya, this one's called 'Last Night'!" But he was just kidding, silly! We played a full set.

At the end of "Bad Mamma" tonight, Anthony said, "Give it to me negative one time!" We hit once. We are mathematical geniuses, in case you didn't know. We can do the simplest of arithmetic formulas in our heads on the fly.

Anthony had a problem remembering John Conroy's name tonight (the second comedian on the bill). He referred to him as a few different things, but the final time he mentioned him, he called him John Oliver. Dustin and I feigned excitement at the prospect of seeing the Daily Show's John Oliver. But he wasn't there, it was D.C. native John Conroy. Still funny as hell though.

We closed the show with "Chosen Ones" before handing the stage over to John and then Parallax. It was a high-octane, energetic show all around. The Whiskey has been good to us and we look forward to continuing that tradition.
