Ok let's hear it, what'd you all think of the show?

I'll start - it rocked! Awesome, enthusiastic crowd sold out the place! Too bad to those who tried to get tickets late...you really missed out!

Congrats to Armchair Cynics for putting out a great CD & putting on a superb performance tonight! Good luck supporting & promoting the album.

Now it's your turn! - Sat, 27 Aug 2005 1:37am

As for the bands, theset was great as usual. first time seeing maurice, I liked them. I remember seeing armchair a few months before (I think), but could never remember their name. Great music for that genre, I found a couple of the songs sooooooo good. My first time at a bar show, haha, yeah yeah i'm a dork, ok. definately not my last, that was sooo rad. asdhgshgaf

Maybe I got a little too drunk...

theset was great.

I like the fake fog and lights at Sugar. Bright shiny things and loud noises is fun.

Maurice sounded good as always... I love the song, "Rockstar."

There were lots of girls in tight shirts.

Armchair played all the hits and looked the part of future groopie slayers. The crowd was really digging the show.

There was a guy dressed as a whale.

Beers could have been cheaper (shakes fist at Sugar). Wallet and head hurt the next morning. - Sun, 28 Aug 2005 4:08pm

heh, that whale guy was a little odd. My buddy was celebrating his birthday so he convinced "the whale" to let him try on that head... i wish i brought a camera.

Both the set and maurice were good.. the sound guy however I think is losing his hearing - some instruments were really loud while others were nearly inaudible. Maurice especailly suffered.

As for the cynics, well they tore the place apart. It's amazing what happens when both the band and the audience are stoked. I look forward to their next show - if it doesn't sell out - Tue, 30 Aug 2005 8:24pm
