my last show of the year for WPRB. see, this would have worked awesomely except that we didnt have the records for fiery furnaces and teeth. well, they were locked away in the music office for some weird reason. even when shows are superstructured and i know what im playing, sometimes it still gets a bit hectic. i got my first call from an inmate! he requested antony & the johnsons, which i was gonna play after the last two songs but i ran out of time. would have been a good closing set. regardless, this was a really fun show!
