heh, Lily, we were right in front of you
B-8 and 9... was Bunnyman the dood in the aisle in front of the stairway? Unfortunately I don't know what anyone looks like so I didn't meet anyone. Here is my pic...

I thought they sounded great, and I didn't think they were too loud, but maybe my ears are already shot. There were some sound problems with the PA (I think) at the beginning, but that seemed to go away. The JAMC song, "Head On," is on one of their albums, btw. Didn't recognize the Neil Young song, it's cool that they did that. I also loved the stuff the guitarist did with his unplugged guitar cord. Noise rarely sounded so good!
Finally, one endearing and nearly-missed moment: I spotted the drummer during a drumless part of a song using a digital camera to take a picture of the fancy ceiling above the stage. DAR hall is a beautiful building, even if the Daughters of the American Revolution themselves are a bunch of ninnies.
ps -- thanks again to the 9:30 staff for those awesome seats!!! xoxoxo
