This is a show that I played with Jerry Encoe (Residual Echoes, San Francisco Watercooler) on electric guitar. Also playing the show was Jake Mann and the Upper Hand, and I think it went pretty well. See for yourself, I suppose. This might be the last time I play this acoustic material for a little while, now that I’m working with a new rock band.

This was a show we played at my house in Davis, CA, in the fall of 2004. Our friends Gnartoon were playing first, but the cops came and shut us down within 15 minutes or so. Somehow, we managed to move all the gear and the entire crowd to a house down the street and Gnartoon was able to finish their set. Afterwards, everyone returned to the Pirate house to keep partying. Around 1am, it occurred to me that the neighbors were probably asleep, and by the time they woke up and called the cops, we’d probably be done playing. Jaizi, our drummer, had passed out already. She put on a bathrobe and stumbled to the stage in the living room. We played a short and tight set, and foiled the cops once again.
