  6. big leagues tease > queer > saskatchewan > queer (from the 'shoe) was the highlight of all 3 shows for me.

    I wish I could have made it to the Shoe. I would have loved to see them in a bar one more time.

    It will take me a while to recover from Friday night's versions of Christopher and Horses. Defintely the most somber crowd coming out of a show that I can remember.

  7. mellow songs you listen to while traveling between cities on a coach/train/plain at night. Or, mellow songs you listen to at night after a day of extreme physical activity where you have that awesome satisfying exaustion, where you can lay your head on the pillow and instantly fall asleep, while missing the song you just put on the stereo.
