The show was opened by...

... none other than ...

... Shinyribs Russell ...

...he did my favorite...

..."Way Fallen Stranger".

Then all the Gourds came on ...

... opening with ...

... a cover of ...

... the Rolling Stones' ...

... "Let it Bleed".

I left Lyn at our table ...

... so I could run to the front ...

... and make photos...

... I was close enough ...

... to smell them. (ugh)

Kev and Jimmy ...

... put their set lists ...

...right in front of me ...

... I was mildly upset ...

... not to see ...

... "Lower 48" or "Ants on the Mellon" ...

... but also overjoyed ...

... that they did play ...

"Lowlands", "El Paso", ...

... and "Cranky Mulatto".

I returned to our table ...

... to find Lyn ...

... puking in her white russian.

... the perfect end ...

... to the perfect evening.

If they ever come your way ...

... go see these boys ...

... just don't ...

... mix white russians ...

... with margaritas!
