Lisa, no problem. What kind of a guy would i be if i took that cab and left 5 people on the street.....A SMART GUY!! Truthfully don't remember the end of the night with too much clarity. I do remember calling four cabs at once and getting none of them [Wink]

nero w/ Six Foot Groove @ The Lancaster Tavern, Kitchener, Ontario

Now this was a good time. Me and Stapes and Sloth and Jaybone pile into my car for Sloth's birthday show, far away in Kitchener. A very quick-seeming seven-and-a-half hour drive later and we happily arrived at the preparty, hosted wonderfully by the lovely and talented Greg and Niomi. Yummy snacks and good times and off to the bar.

Just like last time here, the weather outside was frightful, but Mark Tonin is so delightful that we didn't mind. Neither did the more than 200 people that came out for the show. Six Foot Groove were a good solid funk band. Horns, the whole bit. I was working the door so I couldn't really pay as much attention as I would've liked, but they sounded good from where I was sitting.

nero played a great couple of sets. I just love watching them play Centragnome. At the peak each guy gets a chance to be the cue guy, and I get a kick out of seeing it go down. They made a well-deserved dedication to Sloth, playing Pumpkin Song for his birthday request, and I can tell you he had a good time. As usual, huge props go out to Mark Tonin, the man with the mission to make these shows happen. A scholar, and a gentleman.

One interesting episode occurred when a woman with an eastern European accent complained that her husband's coat was missing. Now, there is no coat check at this bar, but what there is is a coat rack right behind the door guy, and we (I and Mark) were kind enough to allow all who asked to hang their coats there, totally self serve, totally nothing to do with us. We tried every reasonable reasoning, to no avail. When I observed that a) there is no coat check and her husband left his coat at his own peril, and B) that she had no coat check number or receipt proving that her husband even put his coat there, she told me to stop talking. Bottom line, she was furious. I understand losing your coat sucks and all, but she laid this on us for a half an hour. Eventually Mark found the husband and made everything cool in two seconds.

Off to the afterparty, at Jeff's place. Very fun, very late, very drunk and stooopid, very very long fuzzy-brained five hour drive home. Ugh.

'twas a drunk & snowy night in the land of k-dubbaya... i'm now convinced everything mark tonin touches turns to fun. [smile]

wow, what a great night... superb hospitality at the pre-events, the show itself was a blast, and the only thing better than the fantastic music was the staggering number of awesome people who came out for the show. it was great to see so many familiar faces, and what a treat to meet some new folks too. cheers to all you out-of-towners who made the trek in the crappy weather.

special thanks to mark tonin & velvet and anyone who helped put this night together, and of course to that great american jamband, nero, and sixfoot groove for the awesome music.

definitely looking forward to the next tonin event!

Well I also wanted to chime in and say it was great seeing the brothers-in-arms and playa haters alike. The Lanc is a great room I'd never been to before and it was inspiring me to go straight up Patrick Swayze Roadhouse on some feeble twit. Ah but it was not to be. Eveyone was as well behaved as a debauched pile of goo could be. I liked when the band played that song.
