It was a blast! Great to see everyone again and meet some new folks. MCChris cracked me up more than a few times and he's a pretty damn good player too. Great to meet you man. I loved hearing Eric Weston. I would play in your band anyday. Duncans, I don't think you formally met Butcher but I'm pretty sure I saw you two jammin' some blues, yes? Gotta love Joe singing. He's so powerful that he holds the mic about 2.5' away from his mouth and still cuts through. Bruce's bro on bass was great. Did he really *just* start playing? Conrad, what a sweet dude! Pam, Gene, George, Carmie, Badger, Gary, Syd, Shred, I'm sure I'm missing folks, love to all of you. What a great bunch. And no one told me Rudolf Schenker was gonna be there!
Extra special thanks to MINI BIKE for surprising the hell out of me by learning (and insisting on playing) one of my tunes. Wow! Sorry about the strap drama.
Bruce, thanks for being such a great host. I really feel your love of music when watching you play with all those different folks. Happy birthday, one more time.
