It's been a while since we've played at Big V's. It was nice to be back again. We had told Dillon numerous tall tales of the amazing coin-operated squirting cologne machine in the men's room. He attempted to use it, but it did not work, unfortunately. The legend lives on in our memories, however. 

I had a faint memory of writing something on the graffiti-filled wall in the back entry way a few years ago. After a little bit of searching, I found it. It reads, "Junebug is your mom. Whatever that means." Beneath it, sometime in the years that have ensued, someone else has written, "Think about it." Well played. I have thought about it. And thought about it well.

This show was intended to start at 8 p.m. and since it was a Thursday show, people would have to go to work in the morning. Things ended up being pushed back a half hour. No big deal. As it stood, we would finish up around 12:30 or so. However, the engineer didn't arrive until about 9 p.m. The entire show got rolling around 9:45. As things progressed, we ended up starting around 12:30, rather than finishing. That also meant that most of the folks there left before we started. Because, you know, work in the morning. The other groups stuck around for us, thankfully, and there were some regulars still there at the end of the bar. 

No matter. We give it our all. We ripped through a good set. Dustin gave a history lesson: "Ever since the first caveman took a stick and hit it on a stone, we had rock and roll." It's history. You can't argue with it. 

Lately, we've been working on material for our next upcoming album. We considered pulling out the song "Stan" tonight. But in the end, Anthony decided against it. 

Before we played our last song, Anthony said, "We want to thank Chants & Seas and Bear for playing tonight, as well as Junebug," "Yes, we want to thank Junebug," I reiterated. "They really outdid themselves this time," Anthony added.
