The night was September 27, 2003 the place was the Baggot Inn, and it was time to ROCK! Last night was crazy man�..we all came together and really did our jobs. We played to a packed house that really got into us, which in turn made us perform better then we ever have as a unit. We honored Johnny Cash last night with our rendition of �Field Of Diamonds.� It was a really great lead in song that got the crowd tuned in giving us a warm applause that felt great. Doug was the only one of us who knew the set list so he was calling out the tunes as we went along. After our first original song (Walk Don�t Run) we began to notice just how loud about 100 people could be. Feeding off the crowd is a great feeling it seems no matter what could have gone wrong it just would not have made a difference. We were getting ready to play All Single file when I noticed that my Keyboard was not working. So not to lose the attention of the crowd Doug started singing Like a Virgin. The sound-guy ran up to the stage and changed a cable on my keyboard. This took a few minutes so Mike and Bonez started playing along with Doug �..They got the whole place into singing the song. It was pretty funny so I joined in as well and the crowd had a good laugh. It just seemed to be non-stop during the course of the night, Doug was jumping off his amp, before Mike ended up slamming into Doug, which knocked Doug out of tune during �The Dolls.� No one even noticed. When we played �The {W}hole In Us Both� I was having problems once again so Doug had to kill time again so he told the crowd a story about a hole that he had in his jeans. We ended up playing The Stones� �Paint It Black� which was pretty great. The whole club was singing along like it was an anthem. We have been known to kick ass when playing that song, and we pulled it off pretty well. Ending off the set with �Angels Don�t Write Things Down� was a make it or break it situation. This is a very powerful song so powerful that in the middle of the song the crowd gave us a huge round of applause, and when we were done it was like every soul in the place was taken by us. We said our good nights, and at that time the sound guy boosted us up and got the crowd going for us to do one more. So we did�. on stage we decided to play Suspicious Minds. I would have loved to save one of our songs for last, but this did the job for us. We plowed through that song which made everyone in the building go crazy for us. I had such a great time, and I am so thankful to everyone who came down to support us and to everyone who has helped us in anyway. Without friends and fans alike there is no way we could do anything and go anywhere we want to. It�s good to be liked by people and it feels even better to write songs with great friends and perform them for great fans. There were two really great bands that went on after us. The Batterie and Continuous Play. I�d like to thank them as well. As Doug said we are going to try to get some shows with Continuous Play in Maryland. That�s gonna be pretty cool. All I know is, I can�t wait to play our next show� Once again thanks to everyone involved with {public-domain} Sincerely Yours, Anthony (Skeeter)
