Opening my set with Rhymes With Lucia: y/n? It's an okay soundcheck song but then it runs the risk of people thinking I enjoy ripping off The Postal Service.

Your entry was the one from "<3", right? That's a fun song, go for it. You didn't play it in SF, correct?

When are y'all arriving in PDX?

Pat and I are determining the meetup spot (I've PM'd you RG!)

I'm thinking that we'll plan on getting together around 5:00pm or so... Load in will happen at 8:00pm at the venue. If people get here earlier... we could potentially do a field trip to ride the infamous TRAM!

Whee, that was a hoot! Don't leave out P++, Pat. You guys stunned 'em, as planned. Fun to play with you, and thanks for the help on our set. See you tonight.

And where would we be without our drummer? When are you moving back, fluffy?

As Gleen would say...

ROCK!

Excellent show, everyone!!

Despite our initial fears re: white tablecloths (??), no light on stage, and the lack of sound guy -- it turned out to be a fantastic show. Pix to follow -- Although, due to item number 2 on the list of concerns, they may be craptacular pictures. I'm gonna check 'em out now. Great job everyone! Thanks for coming out to play -- and good luck tonight!

I actually really like the feel of those pictures. They come across as really fluid and fun and energetic.

Yeah, it's giant grain combined with very long exposure. I'm not kidding when I say there was almost no light on the stage!

Could it have been darker than Atlanta?
(not sure, but I think nobody attended both)

Holy crap, the walls were that color?

Seriously though, yeah, that's some serious exposure there. It was so dark on stage, Mad Dog couldn't see his lyric sheet.

Rockin' shots, and a rockin' show you put together auntie. Thanks again!
