Most Memorable Show

Thus far, it's the UNR show we did in February. We had 20 minutes and played with 9 other bands. The show ended with us on "auto-destruct". It was probably one of the most intense near-half-hours of my life up to this point. And we signed high school kids' drumsticks (actually they were Dean's when he threw 'em out and up post-destructo). The whole show was a nice evening that pushed both my "rock star" and "fanboy" buttons.
