Thanks for posting this Brian.
I agree with Dee, you do a great job of documenting your gigs. This one seems like a very cool event.

My pleasure, guys. I found out a very long time ago that all the gigs tend to fuse together into one big amorphous blob if I don't make some effort to at least get photos. I try to get pics at all my shows, whether in side bands or Crash Pad, though I don't try to actually keep track of side band shows the way I do for Crash Pad. I've probably got the date, venue, bill, and band membership of almost every Crash Pad show we've done since our start in 1996 (I say "probably" because within the last year I ran across some photos or someone else's online recollection that disclosed at least one I'd missed).

Nice T-Shirt Brian, did you buy it to match the guitar ?

Haha, I bought it at a Goodwill or Salvation Army used goods store. Probably cost me a dollar or less. Actually it somewhat clashes with the guitar, as it has a very slight orange hue to the red, while the guitar is a deep cherry. By weird coincidence, my son bought the same t-shirt while he was on a mission trip to New York over the summer. So when I saw this second one in the used goods shop for next to nothing, I had to buy it.

Btw, the official name of my costume was "My Mom's Long-Held Suspicions About Me."


Here's some more pics from the set. The usual silliness:



Duckwalkin'!



Bruce's Cheap Trick-inspired drum head, on his Bun E. Carlos prototype signature kit (he's a bit fixated, but since he was Bun E's drum tech back in the day he has license):



The Ramones stance yields extra stability to bring the rawk:
