2/10/1998

• First official day of Dave rejoining the fold  for the creased Menaker.  For the first night it sounded pretty darn good.  Highlighted by the excellent Uncle->River transition and good stuff during the Scarlet.
• Freakboy was in Florida and didn't show.  There was no spill in the house.   The only guests were Scott's friend Lougie and Rich R.
• I got there just in time to park and catch Rick B. on his way to the Bens order.   the second week in a row for that sham of a deli.

• The Don't Ease was forgettable
• The Walkin Blues was very groovy, Bobby Sherman style.
• Loser was nice and soft and well done.  Kevin let Larry B. start the song.   Actually that has been a plot Larry B. has been working at for months.
• The Me and Uncle was pretty good.  It had tempo but wasn't rushed.  The transition was very solid.

Eating

• We had a prejam Bens snack of hot dogs and microwaved, soggy kinishes.
• Din-O-Mat was the main course.  Cheese burgers, steak sandwiches and quessadilla's werethe order of the day.  Fries in the bag were good.  No onion rings to be had but we had dessert of apple pie al a mode.  That was the best thing.  They had no Peppers only coke.  OVerall, not a good food night.

• Scarlet was good from the perspective that some of the drumming really sounded good.
