Who are you calling "kid"? :p

Still haven't decided if I'll ditch the wedding early and make an appearance. I'm just gonna go with the flow and see how things develop over the course of the evening. I'd really like to make it. :erk:
 
^^ Me too! Really bummed that I missed the Q & A session. It was a mad taxi dash from one place to the next, but my timing was perfect...'bout 5 minutes before Mindwarp hit the stage! Both MC and IV put on great sets. I also really dug Reggie's. It was my first time there. Any place that has Fat Tire on tap is A-OK in my book. :kickass:
 
They had a way better beer selection in the other room Delirium Trements, Goose Island Matilda, Left Hand Milk Stout, Gumballhead, Moose Drool, Surly, and on and on. Its the best venue in the city and in the area as far as I'm concerned. The staff and management was excellent for us performers they really took care of us unlike other venues.
 
Thanks to all that came out, it was a great time! Reggie's is
a great place, definitely look forward to playing there again
and just hanging out...hope more people get over where it's
located and just get there to enjoy it!
