Yup, that's the beast.

I kinda like being a Tenor. I don't need to take the melodic lead - I did that enough with Branca.

I liked standing to play today. I couldn't really hear what was coming out of my amp because it was in front of me, which was a little disconcerting. I apologize for being a little overzealous for the first few bars.

McGarvey, check your PM, man! You still coming?

This is shaping up to be very, very cool, even for us non-musician types.

You don't know the half of it man. Last night we got to practice in the Church with half of the guitarists (~100) and it was a complete wall of sound. I was sitting there playing my 2 note part just smiling and thinking to myself that this was the single coolest musical event I have and will ever get to be a part of.

Jodi, I noticed you last nite, you were standing right behind me. I am the asshole with the huge Fender stack. I did not realize you were a lefty.

Joshua, nice to meet you last night, I like your Kramer more than my own.

Tonight should rock my world, final rehearsal with all performers rehearsing in the main part of the church.

That settles it, today we have to have some kind of PRF photo op.

Any post-show shenanigans planned for this thing? Would love to make a night of it, but I know you players will have equipment to schlep/store.

As crazy it sounds I am thinking of hitting up Astoria afterwards for the Czech Beer Gardens. I am so in the mood to get tore up.

I am all for the PRF photo op, other than the fact that I have no camera.

I've had it up to here with your anti-Beer Garden stance, Webb.

I'm having at you!

As much as it kills me to say it, going to the Beer Garden at about 10PM on a Friday night in August may not be the best way to get drinkin'.

The issue of dealing with all the gear after the show is a real consideration, though.
