Choppers
Mankato, Minn.

We headed back down to Mankato for the second time in five days. This time we played Choppers for the first time to open the show for Mankato boys, Parallax. The bar was loud, and the crowd was energetic and pumped.

We put together a set of bangers for this one, since Parallax are known for their energetic rockingness. We knew that's what the crowd would dig. And dig they did. The bar was pretty well packed when we started, and it only filled up as the night went on. Folks were dancing and grooving and having a gay old time. My (tony's) remark was that "You Mankato bastards know how to party." It was affectionate of course. And I hope they got that.

Musically, it was pretty much a great Junebug show. No major mishaps or happenings, just a good, solid set. After we were done, Parallax pretty much brought down the house. We'll play with them again any time.

So, yeah. Short this time, but not much more that needs to be said. Awesome crowd, great show.
