The Remasters

It was nice to be back at The Lion for a hard rocking Saturday night. School’s back in session (in more ways than one), so the place was packed to the gills all night long. You know it’s gonna be a good night when the dance floor is full from song 1. Yeah, a few technical issues, but 3 sets and 2 encores later my ears are still ringing. And it’s Monday. Yes, I’ve been asleep for 30 hours.

Thanks for the tab Evan! It was all your fault.

Last night was the 50th annual (not really, but I lost count) Red Baron Dog Fights. Kevin Miller and friends put on an amazing event as usual. 100 degree heat didn’t stop us from making things a little hotter (seriously, those amps get HOT) in Damascus, Oregon. I’m not sure what happened after we left, but if what happened while we were there was any indication everyone’s either still at it, or still sleeping. I’m doing neither. I’m typing. And uploading a million pictures to the (now working) photo gallery page.

We hauled ourselves out to Boring this weekend to help the B-shift from the Boring Fire Department blow off some steam. Apparently fighting fires and rescuing people all the time can build up quite a bit of it. I think this is the start of something longer term for those guys…

Well well well. It’s been a while since we did back to back shows (actually it’s only been since March but two months doesn’t lend itself well to the drama), and it’s still up in the air which one is usually the better of the two. There’s something to be said for an ass kicking Saturday night crowd, but there’s also a lot to be said for having a whole night of warmup before hitting the stage again and using good old muscle memory to focus on performance over playing. Eh, hell, both nights were kick ass. Who am I kidding.

First, Saturday…

And then there was Sunday. The first pic kinda says a lot, but once we got over the hump we just chugged right along…

Happy birthday Valerie, Bo, what’s his name and that other girl! And Lindsay Bab, you kicked ass!

Yes, that’s right, we’ve got 2 awesome shows planned for this weekend. Saturday it’s mayhem as usual at The Thirsty Lion, but then we’re back again Sunday night for a super set at 10:30 right after Jacob Merlin.

See you there!
