Ok ... some info ... a set list ... and TOO MUCH FUN !!!

First ... I walked up and said hi to Norwood ... and he said "I remember you .. we met when we opened for 311 in Omaha" ... geeeze ... how many people does this guy meet ... and remember .. amazing (he dosn't remember talking to me on saturday ... but he was ... well ... you know)

The songs -------------- Ugly Skankin to the beat Ma & Pa Selection Housework Unyielding conditioning Another Generation I wish I had a date Cholly Question of life Lyin Ass Bitch Party at ground zero Alcoholic Give it up Sunless Saturday Bonin in the boneyard Beergut Pressure

Encores Fishy Swa Ska Problems

A pretty ska heavy show ... but MAN ... I had never seen them headline before .. Angelo was of course berserk ... I was right in the front ... so I could really watch Spacey and Norwood ... wow ... wow ... wow ... and ... wow ...

So the info ... I talked to the drummer ... his name is Clint Cameron ... he went to high school with Fish (that's how he knew them) and has been a fan of the band since the really early days ... his brother drums for Tony Bennett .. he is real quiet ... kind of shy ... a bit nervous about the whole thing .. and thanked me (and all you) a lot when I told him that there were many good things being said about him on the list ... when they settle down at home for a bit I think he might join up ... he seems to be into computers ...

The new keyboard player is John (didn't get the last name) and he is sitting in while Brewster does some other things and makes up his mind whether or not he is still in the band ... if he dosn't I think that he wants very very much to stay in the band ... he is not as good a keyboard player as Brewster (by his own admission) but he runs circles around him on the horn ...

one of the best shows I have ever seen ...
