Tonight's show was the second in a series of four shows, four days in a row. We had never played the Terminal before, so we weren't sure what to expect. It was a smaller stage, with not a lot of people there tonight. Between the first band's set and ours, there were maybe about 25-30 people milling about, but as soon as we started, we cleared the room. Awesome?
After starting strong with "Pay the Toll" and "Poet", Anthony had trouble with his guitar falling out of tune again, so we jammed on the "Casanova" riff a bit. We're in the process of reworking that song, so we've been jamming on the riff a bit at shows here and there. It'll come along.
Tonight "Bad MammaJamma" was dedicated to Nick's unborn son, because they just found out today that it's a boy. We know he'll grow up to be a freakin' bad mamma jamma himself, so there it is. Afterward, Dustin said, "Thanks for dancin'." There were, of course, no people dancing. After "Found My Boogie," I thanked the two girls sitting at a table individually and the guys playing the Star Wars: Episode I pinball machine. Nick said that if they didn't have quarters in the machine they'd be gone, too. It turned out they were playing in the next band. So they had to be there. But I had to set Nick straight on which Star Wars film Episode I was. So disappointing.
We're still reeling from yesterday's shocking deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. We teased a portion of "Beat It" tonight. We don't actually play that song. "I wish," said I. So we played "Clone You" and dedicated it to Farrah. Because if we had cloned her, she could still be with us, "instead of dead," according Dustin.
Tonight's show was brought to you by the letter B. We are the Badass 'Bug who just won a Battle of the Bands for the Basilica Block party and whose Bassist is having a Bouncing Baby Boy.
