The Three Amigos departed Cedar Rapids just after 4pm. There was Chris "The One-Eyed Mexican" Lehner...
...Jaymz Larson (the concert promoter)...
...and me.
Me, in Lehner's Ozzy glasses.
Jaymz discovers that I've been adding stuff to the rider. (1 Radica doll, a dozen Fruit Pies, etc.)
Lehner is amused.
The pee trough is iced down and ready for action.
Kimberly Carmicheal from 93 Rock joins me outside.
(She also managers Circle Seven.)
(Kimmi interlude.)
Me and Kimmi are tongue-tied.
The Jager was flowing all night.
Robbie Barr, (now former) proprietor of the Pig Pen.
Much ass.
Kimmi puts on Lehner's Jager jersey.
Kimmi and I say our farewells to The Pig Pen.
But not before she takes off the jersey.
And does a shot of Jager.
And now, the man of the hour: Robbie Barr.
One final farewell.
One final toast.
At this point the Faster Pussycat fog machine went into overdrive.
Fog on the floor.
Fog in the men's room.
Fog at the bar.
Back to the fog:
Fog on-stage.
(This was actually about two songs in.)
This is about halfway through Faster Pussycat's set.
(Side Note: The Fog was one of Fish's favorite movies.)
(For those who ask, Fish is now at Lazer 103 in Milwaukee.)
Jaymz with Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe.
Taime and me.
Jaymz with Faster Pussycat guitarist Brent Muscat.
Jaymz, Robbie, me and a Robbie lookalike.
Lehner was already asleep in the car.
Lehner stirs and goes back to sleep.
This was taken as Jaymz was dropping me off, capping off our 12 1/2 hour journey.
