Hi 'vryone, me again, still hyper from last night! All told, it was an unusual set--I hadn't expected to hear "Doin' Time Under the Lifeguard Stand" live. Ever. More fast songs than slow songs, and (aside from the Train Song) virtually no extended medlies. 1 new song ("Minnesota '45" or something along those lines); classic EFO. If they're hiding any more like this one up their sleeves, the next album is in fine shape. We also got "The Old Dominion", which I like even better live. Their energy was high (mebbe it was the wine they said they'd sampled earlier that day... mmmm... wine...), strong enough to propel me into dancing, which I rarely do. And they were doing their level best with a crowd that had a significant number of talkative and... um... well-imbibed persons. My best friend since middle school, Jessica, who's joining this list (everyone say hello! :), snagged the setlist and is writing a more complete review. Big thanks to the band, both for a great show and for very kindly offering to sneak us in through the back when it looked like Jessica wouldn't get in. (We're both 20, I had a fake ID, Jessica had none.) - --nicole twn p.s. The banter got around to the topic of "banana slugs" at some point. Are banana slugs solely a California thing? They're big (>6"), wide, unnaturally bright yellow, slimy, and gross in a weirdly appealing sort of way, and they're not uncommon in the Santa Cruz mountains. But every non-Californian to whom I've mentioned "banana slug" (now *there's* a fun conversation topic...) has looked at me as though I'm nuts. (No cheap shots, please. :) p.p.s. Cos--I didn't get a chance to say goodbye! :( Consider yourself virtually hugged goodbye. Hope you are having/have had a safe and fun trip! ------------------------------ End of edheads-digest V1 #37 ****************************
