We're gonna get louder; We're not gonna get any happier.

The very best line of the evening!
Here I am, all dolled up for taking Scotty's car to go ticket taking. A very rare photograph with tobacco use, I thought it fit the ensemble :) Note: I've got my purse with Jenny's button on it!Did I mention my Boyfriend is the Superest Coolest? Just before I left, Scotty mentions CJ cover a Velvet Underground song, written by Lou Reed, it's in the movie Natural Born Killers, "Sweet Jane." When Scotty's friend, Chad, shows up at the show, he mentions they do a Velvet Underground Song, "Sweet Jane." At least 10 other folks mentioned the very same song. Another couple I seated mentioned they found CJ from one of those network detective shows (Homicide?) with cool soundtracks. I chatted folks up as I patrolled the aisle ensuring no one rushed the backstage door. As the expected crowd was small, reserved seats were moot. I told a select few they may want to shift to the balcony for the second set for better acoustics.
To honor their first time performing in SD, they sang their song that mentions Mt. Rushmore. They did an acoustic opening with Margo and Michael and a guest mandolin/harmonica player, (ending with "To Love is to Bury") followed by a longer, plugged in set with Pete and Alan (ending with "Sweet Jane" to the crowd's immense delight!).
When I wasn't patrolling the aisle, I switched off with Sales in the lobby and slung some schwag for a bit. I bought the new cd (thanks to the generosity of SCB), too late to get an autographed-by-the-whole-band copy, so Margo and Alan signed it for me after the show. Funniest sighting of the night? Jeff Landborg. It was easier that we pretended not to recognize each other. Hee hee.

"Sold some stuff" :)
I also used the term (I think it's yiddish, at least yiddish sounding) "schmutz" when describing a mystery stain on one of the shirts for sale.
