It was great. Hopefully next year if/when we do it, they'll open it up for us to invite friends. [3] Well, thelarmis, now I know how old you are in relation to me. Ha. I had the Drive For Five painters also. ... And yes, that gig was as a drummer. Power trio. Progressive, original stuff. We did one cover: opened up with Grand Funk Railroad's "I'm Your Captain." Our set was about 35 minutes, and it was over way too soon. Much like last Wednesday. I'll have to come see you play some time. [2] I knew you’d dig, Jon. It was great.

I think you made the correct shot - especially early in the period. Gotta test the goalie. Psyched for you Will, that was great. I think you made the correct shot – especially early in the period.
