A rather unremarkable show that probably shouldn't have happened and nearly didn't. Schedules didn't allow for any rehearsal prior to the show, which was the main reason the show was almost canceled. After some internal negotiations, it was agreed to forge ahead and fuck rehearsing, but that wasn't the end of troubles. Pancake nearly lost his drums in transit and the rest of the band had a hell of a time trying to get to a downtown gig in rush hour traffic which was aggravated by a shooting that closed off a major street. It wasn't even possible for the band to sound check with a full compliment, so the show would go on "cold" with the group not having been in the same room for nearly six months.

The crowd at this "fashion show" & performance was not really looking to rock out. A few of the band's crew did manage to make it out and that helped at least keep spirits up and there was enough booze to get the band to the point where all could at least have fun, whether the audience cared or not. And fun they did have and they didn't sound too bad either, all things considered. Things did collapse into shambles on the last song thanks to flagrant drunkenness, but no one cared by that point anyway.
