LOL Good one. ;-)

According to you.

According to you.

According to you.

Heaven forbid someone should be up in the mix while soloing. ;-)

Actually, it's usually much harder to make an outdoor show sound good
than an indoor one. Outside, you have nothing to bounce the sound
off of. (i.e. walls, etc.) The soundwaves just radiate out in all
directions. Rain only worsens things.
It's quite possible that was just a bad night for sound. The last 4
shows I've been to sounded great, even at Brady's in Kent - the
acoustic of *that* building boggle the mind.

What did you think of the new material?

*yawn*

This was a perfect opportunity to use the phrase "wide world of
sporks."

Better than 'Latter Days', which they've done the last N times.

I think wearing a dress is a great excuse to go commando.
