    Kurt, we're all lathered-up and really excited/stoked to come up to Berkeley next month. Thank you SO much for setting everything up and for all the work you've put into making this night happen. It's going to be a trip playing music that basically no one has heard yet LOL. Can't wait, thank you man!

    The prog event in Berkeley sounds great; I'll be sure to pass the information on to several friends who live there.

    Dude, this rocks. I'll try and make the show for sure.

    By the way, it would be good to put the essentials of the show into your post as text since some mobile devices can't download the image.

    I'm still pissed at my colon for making me miss the chance to crash on Kurt's couch!

    Oh yeah, and to see a favorite band of mine playing as well as a favorite person of mine in a new band playing music that's never been heard.

    I need to hear this after the fact. Got it?

    I live about 10 minutes from Berkeley and hope to make this show. A reminder when the time is close would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Well, I have to go down and get my stuff out of storage in Modesto, so a little side trip to the Bay won't be too much out of my way.

    Seize you there!

    I'm hoping to make it. Should I buy tix @ the door or order them now?

    Yep, love Berkeley, short drive, great. Hope to see you Melissa

    MoeTar kicks so much ass that they alone make this worth seeing. If you are anywhere within driving distance, I strongly recommend this show!

    Thank you, Elbon One; if this show does well I'm told there will be others to follow.

    Got it! Spent some time at the Keneally show last weekend with a good friend who always records the shows he goes to, he's going to try to make it. Otherwise, we've got some other friends who have said they'd be happy to record some of the show for YouTube. Hope all goes well with your colon!

    Fingers crossed you can make it down, Melissa.

    Hope you can make it too, my friend. Kurt, what's the score regarding tickets?

    Mellisa, If you need a ride, Marty & I will be driving though Mo-town. We'd love to have you along.

    Got flight tickets ordered, car lined up and hotel reservations in place. Going to be a quick, get there, have fun, get out kind of weekend, but I am really looking forward to this. My first chance to hear MoeTar live (but I will hear them at RosFest too)....and I cannot wait to see and hear a brand new band (that would be you Kerry....hehehe)..... The only thing that will keep me from going now is the cancer thing (but we have that pretty much beaten...I just cannot say officially yet, cause the doctors won't say it officially). I would say I will be waving to all from the first row of the balcony, but I have a feeling there is no balcony in this venue..... I look forward to meeting everyone...

    Thanks, I'll have my own car, as I'll be transporting things from Modesto back to Portland. Looking forward to seeing you two again!

    Very small venue, limited seating. Certainly no balcony. Decent stage though. Played there once with my fusion thingy.

    I've played at the Starry Plough about 80 times over the years. It's like part of my house. 100 people seems like a good crowd. You can cram 200 in there, standing room only. It's a pub. It's nice, but informal. Nothing close to assigned seats. Some tables and chairs, etc.

    What are the beer prices like? My budget is going to be tighter than a virgin nun.

    LOL, Mel I don't think you'll have a problem getting a couple drinks purchased on your behalf.

    OH! and SHAMELESS plug too. Two weeks to go!

    Mel - always remember the old adage, "Charity Begins At Kurt's".

    Were it not for my insides, I'd be sleeping on Kurt's couch that night!
