February 21st @ Trash Bar, 2008

We love Trash Bar. We love Trash Bar so much that we spend 4 nights a week there. (Little tip for all you Stewart stalkers, Trash Bar = the place to be.) Now, the traffic was pretty bad for a Thursday and although John and I weren't worried, my apologies to everybody who at around, oh... say... 7:50 was getting a little concerned that half the band hadn't showed. But we were playing by, what, 8:05? I even managed to put on some make-up!

So we get there and there were so many people already! And the back room wasn't even open yet. That was just great guys, thank you so much for coming out. Seriously, it means the world to us, as I've said a million times, and I hope that we make it worth it. And special thanks to Demetra- Danny, that shirt made me laugh so hard!

Did you have fun? We had so much fun! It's been a while since we've had a show, and we've been so busy with recording that it was really nice to get out and be on stage again. We opened the night with a little Dark Side, then went into some old favorites, an impromptu version of S'Anteria, (Drew, I blame you,) and some newbies, one of which is my new personal favorite. (Out of Ideas! Horray!) And then we were done by 8:45. That's how we do.

As for the other bands- Lame Drivers, I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to see you guys, but Joe you are a cutie, and Buttnaked Butthole who I also did not have a chance to see, their name is just fabulous so they get super points for that. The Fiendz completely lived up to their reputation as old school and awesome, and my apologies because I thought I saw them at Carlapalooza last year, but was mistaking them with The Festipals. (No jokes please. I'm bad with band names.) The Challenged- I just have to say, you guys rocked so hard and I had SO much fun watching you, thank you so much for being you!!! (And Happy Early Birthday Rob!) I'm so glad we finally, finally, finally got a chance to play together. :)

Guns and Roses were playing on the screen in the main bar as we were leaving, Sweet Child of Mine, Young Axel in the ridiculous black leather pants (I think we need to all chip in and get some of those for Johnny. Seriously.) That, to me anyway, was the perfect way to end the perfect evening. I love you all, thank you all for this wonderful journey.

Until next time...
