Well, we didn't *all* do it, but about 30 people did, including sinister's own Ian Rivamonte who even gave Stevie a peck on the cheek! Stuart asked for about 6 dancers but the security got a bit overwhelmed. Beans won the award for the worst joke of the night pretending he thought Stuart asked for "6 Dans on stage." I wrote down the set list on the back of a crumpled ATM receipt. Here's what I wrote: FTS EXPEC DD#2 TRAV LIGHT WOMAN'S REALM LORD ANTHONY IYFYCIL SCOO B-D IDL NE1 THE MODEL GMAFHID JON DAV JATDOH TWATTYBUS ROY WALKER STCA Encore: SLY AND THE F S ME AND THE MAJOR So I hope that make's some sense! I didn't know the Sly and the Family Stone song. Hmm, what else? Stuart said it was the best place he'd ever played, he also sang it was the best sex she ever had. At the time of the show the San Francisco treasure hunt had not been won yet. Stuart asked if the clues were too hard or if everyone was just dense! Solomon and Deborah, the treasure troopers were called in stage and received medals for their stirling work. There was some band called Bright Eyes on first - whoever they are :-p The singer reminded me of Justine Frischmann, he reminded Rachel of Tommy Gnosis. It was a really good show! The playing was tight, the sound rich, Sturat was chatty and the set a perfect blend of old and new. If you find yourself caught in love is a Stomper! Oh, and we were treated to the full extended version of Scooby Driver. There was a good length article in the San Fransisco Weekly with a (p)review of Dear Catastrophe Waitress here: http://www.sfweekly.com/issues/2003-08-20/garrett.html/1/index.html On to L.A. then. See some of you at the picnic. More reporting back to follow. ttfn Bapps _________________________________________________________________ On the move?
