    Decided to fit in one last house concert for the year. 12/23/11 Blake will spend an evening with us in Greensboro. If you can show up late for your Christmas Eve responsibilities, come hang out with us!

    We never have fun at these things. We've never had a repeat customer. Always have to recruit a brand new batch of suckers for each show. The acoustics are terrible. The audience is rude. The food is disgusting. The musicians play lackluster, uninspired sets and use timers that make sure they don't go over their contractually obligated time (several have stopped mid-song).

    Hope that helps anyone who can't make it.

    Hell then I might as well not make the hour ride to come see this show.

    They'll prolly just play all their shitty tunes as well so no big loss.

    If Blake is ok with this and hopped feels like doing it, we could probably set up to stream this like we did when Yarn played.

    "oh yes please!!! Stream ... stream! Can I extend my invite to a fellow Yarn lover in Raleigh?"

    If you'd trust them in your house then feel free to let them know about this.

    That would be awesome! Without grandparents in town, the chance of us getting a sitter is not looking pretty slim at this point, but I'd love to listen in!

    I meant "is looking slim at this point" :)

    Getting close. Yee haw!

    Probably no stream as I've been having issues with ustream. And people may be inclined to stay home if they know they can hear the show on the interwebs. But mostly because the interface sucks at ustream and I don't have time to research an alternative.
  17.  
    Sorry to hear it's a no-go; I've had trouble as a user, so I wasn't too optimistic about being able to actually hear it. Thanks again for the invite though - streaming or not, we'll all be there in spirit!

    Ditto what Amy said - it's difficult for me to listen to the stream with the time difference here anyway. Gee maybe there will be a taper present :P Enjoy!

    Makes me wish the grandparents lived close by; I'd love to be dropping my boys off too!

    Have a great time!!!

    I also have Ablilene, Jim Croce, and I think Final Bow, there was a guy, Dan Schram who recorded most of the show, should be awesome.

    This one may be under the the old archive tree tomorrow, folks. It sounds pretty amazing if I do say so myself. I loved the originals and the covers. I'll try to post a set list this afternoon. Dan usually gets his videos up quick, but is in Greensboro to visit family for christmas, so it may be a few days. Check out his youtube channel dschram1. He runs video at many OKOM shows in the Triangle area.

    Man that's a lot of songs. I thought "Sweet Caroline" was fun. I know it wasn't the whole song but most everyone was singing along.

    Apologies on the audio. Was busy with family stuff saturday and Sunday. Woke up feeling like crap on Monday, but had agreed to help one of our field crews install, so I worked all day. I've been flat on my back since. Don't know what I've got but it needs to be gone by tomorrow or I won't be making the NYE run.

    Hope you feel better hoppedup!

    Thanks for the well wishes. I am back at work, but only because I am way behind and I might as well be miserable here at my desk. Dan's videos used my audio source so that should give you an idea of how it sounds.

    Silver lining: With no beer, soda, or solid food, I've lost a few pounds in the last three days.

    First post here. Yeah video is up is with Dale's audio synced up. The audio is definietly better than the video quality. At some point a dvd will get put together of the show and i'll give to Dale to circulate to whoever. If anyone has any song posting requests let me know.

    I don't think you'll find many objections to posting a first-time-played around here. I think that one was actually devoid of drunken audience commentary. In which case, post away.

    How About A Couple More was FTP as well, I believe.

    Unfortunately, when good music and good beer is involved, you'll have talking. Those talkers helped us put cash in Blake's pocket just the same as the mutes.
