Yeah, it was cool. I just wish that I KNEW it was a club. I brought my
girlfriend to see the show with me, but she's 19, so she had to stay in
the motel room.

I think he was right before SCO. He was good, but nothing like SCO. My
memory fades me as well.

I agree completely!! His set was the best BY FAR. Absolutely mental
techno throughout. Look for this guy's stuff.

Yeah, I was hoping to hear Floatilla and the like, but it was mostly
beat driven and uninspiring.

Once again, I agree. I was quite disappointed, mostly because their
set was four-on-the-floor plodding beats that is the opposite of what
I've come to know and love them for. The last song of their set was
kinda bouncy, though.

Yes, his set annoyed me to the point that I decided to leave. But not
before speaking briefly with black doggie Andy Turner. I asked him
about the Black Dog/Plaid name controversy, and he basically confirmed
what has been said by Ken Downie and everybody else: they chose to use
Black Dog cuz the name would draw more to the club than Plaid would.
