Why does this stuff happen when Ted is out of town. What's also wierd about these earthquakes is the fact that on our drive back from Redway last Friday, we were discussing the massive geological formation that is the bluff running up to Hydesville ( where these earthquakes seem to generate). A sheer cliff rising straight up with no river to have formed it.

In other news.

The show at The Palace was totally awesome!
Last minute costumes were fashioned ( I was Enid from Ghostworld, Ted was Jaques Cousteau) and we were off. As we turned down the alley to enter from the back, we could hear JB's bass..)
I hadn't really heard this band since just after they started playing together. They have been practicing steadily and it sure showed. They were tight and right on.

They started out wearing costumes ( hair band @ 1981) but it became too hot and restrictive. The guitarist almost passed out from heat exhaustion and restricted blood flow from those tight jeans.

The crowd loved them. The sound was perfect, being loud enough for me, yet still able to talk ( o k shout, but still be understood)even right in front of the amps.
They played from 9 until just after 1, which was a long long time to rock.

The crowd at The Palace was not the usual old farmer crusty dudes. This was a different crowd, and it was good.
I have heard that some records were set:
Best Halloween Night ever for the Palace
First time a minor (JB)has played
First time a band has played for Halloween
No annoying drunk guys, no fights, and I never saw even one cop all night.

The owner was totally stoked and paid the band above what he had promised, as the bar take was so good. He says he'll definitely have them back

Oh yeah and the guy who was Dawg, the Bounty Hunter ?( an awesome costume BTW) was Sean from Nilsens, someone I deal with almost every week. I can't believe I didn't recognize him!

Oh and also? It seems I now have a mohawk.
