Tonight’s show was in a clothing store. Amazingly this is not the first time we’ve played in a clothing store. Last time was about 10 years ago. Strange how many things have changed and how many haven’t over the course of a decade. Despite the bragging rights of saying we’ve played in not one, but two clothing stores, tonight did have a lot of firsts. Tonight was the first time I ate a fast food pita. Tonight was definitely the first time any of us were accosted by a homeless man offering to sell Duracell’s (not just batteries, but Duracell’s). Tonight was the first time we didn’t see the uber-nerds discussing science fiction at Pioneer Villa. Tonight was the first and last night Dustin will jump the van off a BMX jump. Anyway, the show was very small and very DIY which is always refreshing to see. The down side was that it took forever. Granted, part of that was due to our late PA arrival, but 4 bands in 5 hours makes it hard to keep the energy flowing. Despite the long breaks there were still people there at the end of the night that weren’t afraid to dance and that’s made it fun. Thanks to Ugly Litter for booking the show and to the Android staff for having us. Also, congrats to Susan!
