Surprised I’ve never bumped this run. The beginning of a 4 night stand that I’m still recovering from. We made some very questionable decisions over the course of these 4 nights.

This 1st set was most likely my favorite set over all of the weekend…either that, or set 2 of the Friday the 13th show the previous night. The AIT to open set 2 is a monster as well, but I just felt the 1st set was so tightly played & just very solid on all levels.

This show was a fun way to wrap up the 4 night stand, but was certainly a cool down of sorts. There was certainly some good stuff sprinkled throughout, but kinda pales in comparison to the previous nights.

2022 Feb gonna have to do some serious legwork on the back end to keep this trend alive!

17 year anniversary bump! Yet more good times at the Barrymore in Madison!

This was supposed to be my first show but my brother had a flat tire

fucken heater. got shitfaced and embarrassed myself. It wasn’t the last time.

always thought they kinda played around with the Law n Order theme in HBB but that’s just wishful thinking.

Beat me to it…was gonna bump that one today as well. That was a great night, and we’ll worth the drive to & from Urbana for a single show.

I was staying with my ex in Bloomington IL and we drove to Urbana for this show, IIRC there was a snow squall on the drive.
