Fan Recaps and Comments:

Joltman:

Pretty good show. It was my eighth show, and while nothing particularly spectacularly about it, it was a solid show nonetheless. Highlights for me were the side project songs (Mono Puff's Unsupervised, I Hit My Head and Linnell's West Virgina) and the joke about a song off of their new album on Bar/None Records (referring to Ana Ng from Lincoln). They were supposed to play one song from each album, but I believe they forgot Factory Showroom

Mr. 77:

Great show overall. Best. Opening. Act. Ever. Also, the weirdest venue I've ever been to. They used the Stick, which was awesome, and I was part of a (very small) conga line. They wrote an answer song to Why Does The Sun Shine called "The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma". Apparently the sun is not made of only gas, but it's really plasma. One more thing: if that girl with the glasses and green shirt is reading this, I didn't mean to act all creepy. That's about it.

Dante:

A great show for me, because this time I had the foresight of being downstairs (I got stuck upstairs during the show last year). Great opening act, Kurt used to play with TMBG back in the old days.

Unsupervised was also a highlight for me. I kept hoping they'd play Asheville, or even Taste the Fame, but they didn't play any song off of Venue Songs. It was still a varied setlist, and I loved hearing a good amount of older stuff, and they barely played anything off of The Else.

yoyogod:

Awesome man. I got there extra early, and actually got to see Flansy come out of the building to got to a local record store. He He actually almost hit the people right behind me with the door on his way out. I loved the way they performed songs from lots of different albums, and that french rabbit band who opened for them was cool.

The3rdjohn:

I drove 170 Miles from home to be there, and I loved the show to the point of singing along, although I tend to scream it out due to a slight background of heavy metal & punk. But this was MY VERY 1ST TMBG SHOW that I've went to, much less THE VERY 1ST CONCERT of ANY BAND in history for me. Flansy mentioned about there being no punch-line to his joke, and he called me nuts for saying that it was like a Balki Bartokomous joke, since there was no punch-line. Then again, he even mentioned about subscribing to the TMBG Podcasts on iTunes, and I did say that I subscribed to them & got Flans' message from long ago. Therefore, he told the crowd that I was the reason for their keeping up-to-date with what everything they do, I think? But I do remember Flans giving me a hardcore snarl after I was the last few strumbs on his guitar at the end of Istanbul(Not Constantinople), since I was all hardcore-face when doing so. Linny kept looking into my direction half the time, and that was also when I said how he was the best Poopsmith ever due to SBEmail #200 from Homestar Runner. I loved The Mesopotamian, Istanbul(Not Constantinople), Damn Good Time, Fingertips, Birdhouse In Your Soul, Don't Let's Start, She's An Angel, & I Love To Sing, in which I said "I LOVE YOU, LINNY" at the end of the show. Only 1 fan was highly irate with me saying how I ruined the show and everything, but that's how I have fun, even though some would take it as rude & most would take it as a form of random enjoyment, but I was told from a friend that I made the show A LOT more interesting, yet the rest of the night was awesome in the same. It was a great experience of my life, and I hope to do it again in the future. Not only that, but one of my friends who attended the show that night was kinda jealous that I got the band's attention, as well as the comments on MySpace & having to be mentioned by Flans. Still, she & I hung out at the end of the show, and just like TMBG shows, there's ALWAYS a happy ending somewhere. In short, I had some "DAMN GOOD TIMES"!!!
