Some people say it's 24 years but when we promoted it two years ago we advertised it as celebrating 23 years. Now it's 25!! - Tue, 21 Feb 2006 2:10am

yeah I loved the echoey dub songs satori did, the toasters were amazing, I forgot how much I liked the kiltlifters

the sound was really muddy for the first half of the kiltlifters but nev fixed things right up and they were sounding great through the rest of the set and the other bands

the atmosphere was fun, everyone was dancing and having a good time, compared to like any other show where the majority of people are just standing around.. I could swear ska shows are the danciest by far - Sun, 26 Feb 2006 8:34pm

What a blast. Contrary to popular belief, I was having a blast playing with the Kiltlifters. I've learned my lesson on having dental surgery two days before the show. Next time I'll play hookie on surgery day.

Satori were great. Unfortuantely due to me being lame, I had to go home early and missed the two reasons I originally wanted to be at the show. Hope everyone had a skanin' grand time! - Sun, 26 Feb 2006 8:42pm

Hahaha I'm sure we've all seen kiltlifters in states far worse then that. You guys still sounded great, especially those horns (good work nev). I thought all the bands played well, Satori sounded tight and westbound had such a warm soft vibe. Toasters played an awesome set, good to see them put forth such an effort. Also thought the venue was great and I enjoyed seeing so many friendly faces. Thanks Ska Society - Mon, 27 Feb 2006 7:57am

Thanks to everyone involved for putting on such an awesome show! All the bands played super well and I loved it. Kiltlifters did darn' tootin' well. I'm a fan. Satori sounded different from what I was expecting them to sound like. A good different though. I liked them. Westbound Train are amazing live. Such good guys and such good music.The Toasters! Uhm....!!!! !
Hey Gare, sorry I didn't notice when you were talking to me. I was super tired from the night before and being sick. Haha, don't take offence to it or anything. - Mon, 27 Feb 2006 8:20am
