Very dry sound on stage -- after soundcheck the whole band was not looking
forward to the show, but we ended up having a great night -- very warm crowd.

What a great location -- in the mountains next to a lake. Terrible sounding stage but had a good time because the crowd was really into it.

Funky little place but a very good vibe -- great crowd and we played well. Met some nice folks at soundcheck -- winners of a competition at a local radio station.

Boulder Station - Las Vegas - 2/1/08

A most friendly crowd -- not the greatest sounding room but we had fun and I think they enjoyed it too.
