You got that right, dude. Riviera played the hell out of it. You guys definitely should post it.
Agreed.

I absolutely loved when you guys played that song. Though I had no idea it was a cover when you did.

That absolutely rocked. I can't wait til it's posted so I can hear it again.

Hey, you all might want to order your tickets now for the cd release show, because Schubas isn't that big and this is pretty much guaranteed to sell out. If you wanna see Riviera in an intimate venue, now's your chance. See you there.

Yessir.

Here, it's there are so many fucking good shows RIGHT NOW.
So many that I have begun referring to March as Marchtober.
Why? because I AM HILARIOUS.

Derek/Jake,

You guys have any idea how many cds you sold at the show? I know of two, anyway: my copy (listening now, great stuff) and some other guy standing next to me.

How lovely! Too bad (word on the street is) Jake takes 99.9% of all sales to feed his Twinkie habit.

Ditto! Sam(orama) talked me into going to these shows while we were waiting outside the 9:30 Club in DC in a snowstorm a couple weeks ago. Definitely the best impulsive/crazy decision I've made in ages. The Saturday show was probably the most moving live music experience I've ever had in my life (no joke). It was like one big hootenanny and Jeff clearly responded to the audience singing along with him. I'll never forget the big grin his face during Someday Soon.

I asked Derek if you were going to be there and he said, "no", so I blame him. J/K ;) I did get to meet Derek and Megan (?), and Josh (very briefly), but it would have been cool to put a few more faces to names. C'est la vie. I'm sure I'll get a chance to visit Chicago again someday. It's a very cool city and I'd like to see more of it.
