Had a really fun time at the Beachland Ballroom. Sweet venue with two rooms, bars, and stages. Probably ~200 folks in the crowd. Musical integrity was high and had a blast dancing for most of the show.

Found willbreathes about half way through the first set grooving by the front of the stage, keyboardist side. It’s the drummer (Todd Isler)'s birthday now, so we all sang “Happy Birthday” after he blew out the candles on a birthday cake on stage in the middle of the first set. Right after one of the tunes that was just the percussionists.

My two favorite members of the band:

A pretty sweet one of the trippy-looking fabric backdrop in the back of the stage:

and of course … lookie what I got!

GREAT PICS!!!

Awesome pics! The Mike band has been killing it this tour. Cool to see Scott playing the Ibanez on this run too.

Mike is reminded of how the Meat lyrics go.
