[bovine knievel]

Are you sure?

[uncle rickey]

Edit: probably no longer in. Ugh.

[Penny Lane]

In x 2

X2 for X2?

I want to do this-am trying to work out public transport...guess i'd train or bus it to Balt then look for the nearest sailor...just like in An Officer and a Gentleman

[Flying Rabbit]

Tix info in the Birchmere thread. Ticket links are kinda hidden.

[Slipkid42]

I'm in for both shows. Patterson weekend for Father's Day. These 2, then the Birchmere. Should be fun.

[Slipkid42]

Anyone else makin' these shows? If I'm the only one there, maybe Patterson will do requests for me. I will try to talk him into Powderfinger.

I've been waiting for good Annapolis shows for a while as I'm there regularly. Unfortunately missed Jason's show there and won't make this one as I'll be out of the country...

[Tyler]

I'll be there for both shows, likewise Richmond the night before.

[Slipkid42]

Tyler, I remember now that you told me you were comin' @ the Merriweather show. I'm thinkin' this will be even more intimate than that show was (and we were right up on the stage there). See ya in a couple of weeks!
Sorry you can't make it lotus, it should be interesting to say the least. Where ya goin'?
p.s. - I have it on good account that a certain rock vixen is comin' & is bringin' my 'neice' w/her.

[Tyler]

Yea, it will be. I actually drove by the venue the day after Merriweather while riding around Annapolis with my aunt. It's tiny...almost looked like a converted old house.

[Penny Lane]

Slipkid---save me a seat... but i aint' huffin any banana peels in between sets..

[Slipkid42]

Will do, Penny & that banana peel incident was a one-shot deal. I chalked that up as an experiment that failed.
Might be able to get a hold of some freon, though.

A buddy of mine made some "acid" in high school using an orange peel, a piece of gum and sunlight.
It gave me a headache.

[Slipkid42]

That's what the banana peel did. Oh the shit we did for a buzz.

[Penny Lane]

I think they're having a 2 for 1 sale for freon at my bodega! Can't wait..

Smitty-sounds like your friend made you an old school Orange Julius or something..you sure it was acid ?

[Flying Rabbit]

We were in, but to honest ticket price per show was the killer. $25 per is a bit steep for a place I've never been and according to the venue "just started booking larger acts".

Still in on Birchmere though.

[Tyler]

Any body got a table reserved for Dinner?

[Penny Lane]

We didn't and I'm wondering if we should..I don't know the setup at all but it looks like the ticket is GA?

slipkid?

[Flying Rabbit]

I have reservations under my real name if you all wanna use it. I think its for between shows.

[Slipkid42]

I am not familiar at all with the Met. Kitchen. It must be a newer place. I will be Flying Rabbit for purposes of a table between shows. Thanks FR. I should be getting to Annapolis around 5:00. Will look for you Tyler & Penny (and Cher). I have an extra ticket if anyone close is sittin' on the fence. Free to the first taker.

[Slipkid42]

[Gang Green]

Tyler, was Little Bonnie accompanied by a story? Or did he go into specifics about Little Bonnie?

[Slipkid42]

Intimate is not quite strong enough a word to describe just how cozy the Metropolitan Kitchen venue was last night. Bill & Frank & I, all had been in bigger living rooms. Patterson played 2 relatively short, but thoroughly enjoyable sets; before a sparse but appreciative audience. He seemed very comfortable and remarked several times how much he liked the place & the sound. He told some good stories about some of the songs. The back history of Margo & Harold & a new song, Better Than The Truth, were especially entertaining. Tyler, whose family made up a goodly portion of the first show's 'crowd', got a request fulfilled; when he got Patterson to play the rarely played Little Bonnie. Another couple, celebrating their anniversary, got their wish; when he played Tornadoes for them. I didn't make any requests, though I would've liked to hear Santa Fe or Your Daddy Hates Me. Maybe @ The Birchmere tonight.

He played a wide range of his stuff from Adam's House Cat to 'Heat Lightning' & even a brand new one that he played for the first time, Forged In Hell. It was a poignant number about a friend of he and his wife, Rebecca, who had been in bad motorcycle accident. She wasn't supposed to survive, but miraculously did somehow. The song is about her struggles as she overcame the overwhelming odds. It's a beautiful song that is so brand new, that Patterson had to read the words as he sang them. I'm sure that he (and all of us) will know all the words before long. Speakin' of remembering the words, Penny's lovely friend Cher, had to help Patterson when he had a brain cramp durin' Sinkhole. It was chuckles all around as she belted out "The house has stood through 5 tornadoes" durin' his pregnant pause. Speakin' of my 'neice' Cher, I have a world of new respect for her; as I just discovered last night that she is a roller derby queen. I'll bet she's a real fireplug when she straps those skates on. My money's on her when the elbows are thrown.

I had a sensational time. I got to see my favorite rock vixen princess, Penny, again. That alone was worth the price of admission. I got to see my favorite line leader, Tyler & Frank from Philly & of course Bill (who may be the nicest person I have ever met). Also, incredibly, I ran into my best buddy, Larry; on the sidewalk between shows. I talked him into seeing the 2nd set & he had a great time too. That's prolly more from us partying into the wee hours with the pretty Carolina girls, Stephanie & Crystal; than anything Patterson did, though. Those crazy ladies may have us talked into the Asheville shows. I hope everyone made it home safely. Now I've gotta get my second wind for the Birchmere.

[Slipkid42]

GG - He didn't do an intro for Little Bonnie. It was right after Forged In Hell & he had given a lengthy intro to that one. He did tell the 'Bonnie' story @ one of the Athen's shows I went to, though.

[Tyler]

As a correction: "Back of the Bible" was also played towards the end of the set during the late show.

[Penny Lane]

Great recap, Slipkid! Tyler--thanks for posting the setlists. What a great night and a great venue.
I finally got to hear White Knuckle W VA! I love the storytelling and the intimacy of the shows.

I'm so excited about the new album.

[Tyler]

Yea, it was really cool. And if you can believe it Penny, that was actually the SHORT version of Whiteknuckle, compared to what we got the night before in Richmond.
