It went well. The gig, that is. We are so damn rusty. Oy. But the crowd was lively. Many of our fans came out to see us, braving the elements. They held us up when the strings broke, when the feedback loop caused hearing loss, when we forgot the lyrics to a tune...yeah. Some songs went wondrously. God Save Ireland was great. I Wanna Be Sedated was huge. But there were a couple of, um, challenges to our musical credibility. Yeah. That's it.
Thanks for making the show, gang! And we'll see you again soon. In spite of all, they want us back! Wahoo. So, we'll get our stuff in gear...the sound issues especially.
Pax!

Oh, no! Sorry!
'I Wanna Be Sedated' with Celtic instruments? (Punkish mandolin-playing?) If I were in Chicago I would have been there.

Posted by: Tripp at December 21, 2006 09:38 AMi have a strange feeling that the ramones would have been quite proud...
