Wow, Rabid doesn't look at all like my mind's eye picture of him.
I particularly like that picture of Ken coming out of the darkness.

That's the first thing I thought when I met him... (he is a very cool guy). But, yeah, that little mental image that develops from reading posts was quickly shattered by the glory that is RB. ...umm. Kind looks like The Hip Cola but with a diffferent head. I am aware that seemingly makes no sense.

Oh my, I don't want to know what sort of mental image my posts generate :wink:

And yeah, the Ken shots are tres cool. Album cover worthy.

Further listing of people in pix: Row 1, #1 the korean guy's Mo, who was going to play bass with us, but dropped out. Was still good enough to chauffeur our drunk asses around and put us up at his place. Next to him's Tamaya and her bf. Always have friends in an audience, heh.

great pictures! The one shot of ken is probably the best songfight photo I've ever seen.

And don't worry about the camera dying, my guscentric photographer balanced all of that out.

Boing.
http://homepage.mac.com/rabidgarfunkel/SLFA05/

Took me long enough. 5 video clips, ±10MB each, running 3 minutes each (hardware limitations). Which means some songs were cut off, unfortunately.

Gus - "Mountain"
John Benjamin - "Fire Bomb"
John Benjamin - "Red Robot"
Loyalty Day - "A Promise is a Promise"
Pray For Mojo - "Coreline"

Many thanks to Albatross (a.k.a. Max) for doing the captures on his digital camera. Sorry we missed your set, Ken. Doh!

I'm pretty sure Loyalty Day doesn't have a Bad Attraction and didn't play one that night. I can't check the clip yet, so I can't tell you what it is...

As interpreted by a mono miked digital camera, heh.

No problem, dude. Really wish I'd gotten your performance of Husky Youth.

Because, well, we do need love too.

It's ok. Prolly better not to have video of me completely forgetting the song half way through. If poeple want to see that level of professional performance, they'll have to come to the next west coast show.

I loved meeting and hanging out with you guys. F-Bomb Karokee was frikkin awesome.
