Thanks to Nicole, Joe, and Tom, from Rococo Records, for letting us be a part of the show, even under such weird, original circumstances. Thanks also, to them, for the huge effort that they put into getting interesting replacement bands, and especially for securing the PA, at such late notice! Thanks to Andy Ortmann and Ehsan, for hosting the show. Thanks to Justin, for bringing and operating the great PA system, which we hope is okay. Thanks to the other bands/artists. Thanks to our friends, for the great support… especially Vanessa and Grey, for bringing the Detroit (and L.A.) backing! Thanks to Marlene, for videotaping.

It was a fast, streamlined set, which ran an agreeable 17.5-minutes. You can hear that complete idiot – constantly – on the crystal-clear MiniDisc recording, so along with his physical interruptions, it is clear that he had something coming to him… although you might not have any clue about what occurred, based on the recording. Thanks to Geoff and Tom, for being voices of reason during the show, and thanks to Geoff and Jason, for being so stern-looking after the show, out on the street.
