last night at the moon

some dudes from germany showed up to catch the li'l stoogeband's set and their response spurred us to give, dare i say, the most feral 'n' out-of-control perf we've given in awhile. sound dude mic'ed our gtr amps and provided teague with a monitor, so jon could actually hear for a change without me turning my shit and deafening ray. hembree was SCREAMING and after we'd played through the setlist, he kicked off "funhouse" and we made that our last song of 2008; a good way to end the year. only non-snazz aspect: i left my slide on the pillar by the side of the stage. oh well. before us, our friends the fellow americans played their last show; big love to hickey, hal, and caleb. band called the white walls played before them but i was out on the porch. my sweetie was there and took lotsa pics, some of which she posted to her photo blog. thanks to evabody who hung around! and yes, i _have_ noticed that with my hair long, i look like dr. zaius. if you have to look like a monkey, at least look like a _smart_ monkey.
