[bagochips]

good choice.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

hot damn that was incredible!!

[Calamity Jane]

bag-o/Gordo,

Dave & I missed you! We saw you in the first row.... considered briefly, then decided against, throwing Dave's gitch to get your attention, then totally failed to find you at set-break or the end of the show.

tres sad.....

hope you enjoyed it!!

[bagochips]

Yeah, sorry I missed you guys. You walked right by us on your way to your seats but you were too fast for me. Set break was all about the "fresh air."

The Kruger Brothers are such amazingly talented musicians; it was great to get such an up-close view ... until my friend pointed out that one of Uwe's testicles was hanging out on full display for the whole show. That was a little awkward.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

i slung one of mine out of my pants too, just to do my bit to alleviate the awkwardness

could have been exciting for some people!

Was he wearing shorts? Cause I don't recall him wearing shorts. which would make that even more interesting.

So Davey Boy - that's what all that commotion behind me was about!

Well, the music was great as always. Would have liked them to play all of Ripple, rather than just that tease. It was a low Skank turnout though. Where was everybody? Either way, it was within about 20 seats of a sellout.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

yup and remember when i leaned over and tapped you on the shoulder, BWM?

let's just say i wasn't as itchy after that

[bradm]

Sounds like you guys had a ball.

Aloha,

Brad

Way to ruin a fun thread. That joke reads like an anal fissure.

dude - where were you? what happened to all that excitement about the show. I bet if you knew that you'd get to see that much of Uwe that you would have been there.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

no worries, i sent booche a photo of my lathered shaven bollocks as a consolation later that night

i'm thoughtful like that

[Booche]

Yeah BWM, we went to dinner and spaced on the whole night basically. The wife had to work overtime on Sunday at 4am which shut things down really early.
