Howdy folks! Well, I'm back in lovely Chapel Hill, extremely sunburned but no worse for the wear from my trip home to Charlotte to see the boys play at Center Cityfest. Okay, about the show. Crowd...sucked. Big time. Tons of people, maybe five of us who knew the words to something other than Brick. Idiots crowdsurfing and throwing bottles. God help us. Overall quality--awesome! The guys seemed relaxed and well-rested, and happy to be in their quasi-home. Darren (when he got up to sing Underground) pointed out that he went to elementary school right around the block from where the stage was set up. His parents were there, as were his and Robert's girlfriends, Ben was with a girl too (I'm very happy for him if she's his new girlfriend!), I saw Chuck, too (wearing a Majosha shirt!). Not an incredibly spontaneous performance, but Robert said it was because it was their first show back and they weren't really in that loose groove yet--he did do some funny kissing noises during his Disco Diva part in Underground. Anyway, here's the set list they were supposed to play: Pyser, Battle, Philosophy, Selfless, Missing the War, Polka, Steven, Fair, Brick, Kate, Eddie Walker (!), Dumped, Video, Dwarf, and Underground. Here's what they *did* play (with comments): Pyser, Battle, Philosophy (complete with tossing the piano stool), Selfless, Missing the War (people asked for Snoop Doggy Dogg and Ben just said, thoughtfully, "Snoop...Doggy Dogg" and then they launched into), Steven, Fair (Ben forgot where he was at the third verse and had to consult w/Rob, ended up singing "he'd gotten all he wanted, a crowd to watch him fuck up the words"), Brick (at this point the whole crowd finally went nuts...grr), Kate, Julianne (salsa intro, Rob dancing), Dumped (kick-ass jam in it, Ben was using an extra mike on the piano strings for a cool screetchy effect), Video (nice to hear it again), Dwarf, and then Underground as an encore. I saw Darren for maybe a minute after the show, and then talked to Robert. He said they didn't play Video and Eddie Walker b/c they ran out of time (they started late and only played about an hour), they were apparently doing some video interview after the show so keep an eye out for that. Anyway, I've taken up enough of your time with my musings on the show. It was great to see the boys again, now I can't wait for Austin (which Rob assured me would be an awesome show)!

So my friend told me that I can get a free video with WAEA at the cd shop across the road from me. SO I go over, and thought....damn it might have potty mouth on it, so I have to get it...so I buy WAEA again...damn $30. And all it has is Brick video, Dwarf video and BOWCCL video :/ I mean its cool, with a really ace cover.....but $30 for it?? Heck I would've got it if I knew what it was so....who cares... Today in maths, my friend got a chair and said it was called 'Ben' at first I thought she had just spent too much time with me. but written on the chair had..."Hello, my name is Ben" I thought that was lovely... - -Julie 'anti-gavin' ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #101 *********************************
