Chicago... Let's call it a "cool down" show?

We played at the "Friends and Co." bar. Once again, we felt bad for crushing the hopes and dreams of a local musician.

The guy who organizes shows hooked us up with a guy named Ken who did acoustic covers of punk ballads. He was super excited to rock out with a serious band from New York. Then we let him know how "serious" this band really is. He seemed sad. :(

Either way, we played these songs:
(Note, the file transfer is going slowly, so not all of the songs may be available immediately)

Honest Man - Gene rocks the My Morning Jacket.
Company - I still want one of those books about parachutes.
Bean and Joe - As plagiarized by Paul Simon.
The Breathing - I can't remember who this is a cover of. So I'm gonna guess... Disturbed? That sounds like the name of a Disturbed song, right?
It's a Good Thing - Chicago's a good thing.
Total Eclipse of the Heart - I decided to try out adding curse word(s) to this song. I'm still unsure as to if it's awesome enough to be worth the cursing.
The Adventures of Cristobal Pt. 2 - I was planning to make meaningful eye contact with one of the cuter girls in the bar on the word "baby" (You know, as a flirty stage presence thing.) But she took that exact moment to go to the bathroom.
Fat Kid Emo Pants - As requested by Tricia our sister.
Happiness - No time for banter, we're leaving in 5!
Carpedium - One day, we'll play this song well, and it will rock!
Karate - So many f bombs! Good thing it's a bar, and there's no kids around. (Also, we are definitely not like Jackie Chan in that one movie I hear he did early in his career which was actually an adult film and not a kung fu flick at all!)
