(2) September 15, 2002
WHAT?: Tak's Birthday Party
SET?: 1-Man in the Box(Alice in Chains), 2-Bafe Race, 3-Someday, 4-Hash Pipe(Weezer), 5-Beyond, 6-Say It Aint So(Weezer), 7-Damnit(Blink 182), 8-No Where to Go, 9-Bullets(Creed)
PROS?: 2nd show, again, very fun. This time we had Ken, Better crowd, less punk. Longer set, more fun.
CONS?: Lots of cons, but over all, the show was a success. First of all, the stupid citizens had to call the cops on us, when we played in Tak's garage. So, we were forced to not play at all, or play in a very small room. But we wanted to give the fans a good show, so we played. We completed our set in the small room despite lots and lots of PA system problems. Anouther con, after the show, we couldn't hear anything.
Special thanks: Thanks to Kevin Kearny for helping load/unload our equipement and for helping deal with the PA. Thanks also to the people at the show, who actually responded this time.

PROS?: 3rd ever show, very fun, we are better than before, all people payed attention, all people clapped and screamed, biggest crowd yet, longest set yet. Get the Message then Bullets brought the house down.
