Fan Recaps and Comments:

This show featured 2 sets, one with McSweeney's, and another with TMBG.

Review by Dustin:
Great Show!! I enjoyed McSweeney's show which lasted about an hour. When TMBG came on everyone was in their seats, then Flansy invited everyone closer commenting that they were really not one of those sit down bands! Where's Wicked Little Critta???
