By "hmmm" I assume you mean "Holy Mother of Magical Music!", which means you'll be there?

Blane, I plan on taping this (SP-BMC3 > SP-SPSB1 > Nomad), so I'll be there about 9pm to get set up. I hope you can make it out.

Aloha,

Brad

[payce-ley]

already have osme plans made but will see what can be odne, Mr. M (our wise and noble leader)

[afro poppa]

what time? how much?

[bradm]

I'm not sure of the time, but my guess would be the first set will kick off around 10pm? As to how much, well, it's a small-club show, so maybe $5-$10?

Aloha,

Brad

[afro poppa]

Well, kinda grinnin' like the town fool as I headed off to see Mr. SS last night with a friend and when we arrived at The Gypsy Co-op there was only a DJ spinning and no band...

So off we went elsewhere in search of Christmas cheer...

Guess I shoulda made it to the right bar but the doobie sure was good that we puffed on the way to the show

[bradm]

I think that was the best Mr.SS show I've ever seen. It was also interesting to see them in such a small, intimate, almost cramped venue. There wasn't a stage; the band set up at one end of the bar, and led some raucous festivities to the seriously dancing people (including Large Marge, afro poppa, Mr. Slippery, jaydawg, and, I'm sure, a couple of other Skanks) who were there.

I think the recording came out pretty well, and I'm hoping to get it uploaded once I get back to Ottawa.

Aloha,

Brad

Phooie and dagnabbit! I'm so glad folks made it out to this, but it makes me sad to have missed it and them!

Can't wait to see you peeps next week.

[shainhouse]

I should have been there. sorry.

[Alexis]

haha...i heard you got way drunk and didn't make it shainers. too bad...you missed a muddy show, expensive drinks and a ridiculously packed bar with a "oh my god i haven't seen you since graduation! first year is so greeeeeat" vibe.

i love mr something something, but that venue is horrible to see them in lately. and they need another trumpet player.

edit to add: nice to see you out afroman....i've seen you at a bunch of shows. good on you for being the ONLY person shakin it at xavier rudd at the pheonix. standing on the balcony at that show, your fro was the only thing i saw movin. think i was crushed up against you at the rudd horseshoe show too.

Xavier Rudd at the Pheonix was a great, high energy show...how can you not dance???

[Alexis]

yeah don't ask me. we were dancing upstairs...where there was access to drinks and less squished up against strangersness.

a couple of my friends actually elbowed their way to the front and some chicks told one he was too tall and them both to stop dancing. stupid tweeny boppers.

[afro poppa]

I get people telling me that my hair is too big all the time, I feel so bad

I try and get to shows early that way it's someone else's fault that they stood behind me...

[Alexis]

you just keep on bein a proud poppa...that thing is magnificent.
