Kind of fun. Little place, much smaller even that the boat for those that went on that. It's a venue out the back of a nice bar/restaurant on Hoboken's main drag. Naturally all my friends who live in Hoboken are away this weekend...

Bit of a 'mare getting to Hoboken, should be right by the bus to NY from my village, but while the bus driver who picked me up said it'd be fine, we changed driver part way and the new one said no. Had to switch to a train, then another train, then yet another...

Danish "Breakers" were on stage when I got in, the openers, they were kind of fun. Rock and Roll stuff, figured Ginger had picked them, but asked Scott and he said they were basically venue provided.

Accidentally missed Sorry's band grabbing some food. Dirty Pearl were OK, nothing too inspiring.

WHs
Pic of setlist, which was acquired at the end by some Japanese guy: Image
- fairly closely followed, after Girlfriend Clothes we had the usual Sing-our-own Geordie in Wonderland bit,. ostensibly we got to vote on Shitsville or Everlone in the Encore, with me thinking "neither, play something newer" That's I Wanna Go at the bottom of the setlist.

Ginger in a good mood**, place was, as previously mentioned, tiny, so basically no crowd action. Still, nice night out. Many Thanks to Jim and Dan from Philly for giving me a ride home as the last train had gone and my bike'd acquired a puncture.

Probably going back to the city tomorrow.

**As has been previously mentioned on this board, this is basically the priciple factor in determining good gig/bad gig...

The only thing that could have made it better is if you all were there.
was so much fun the only way I can contain myself is to drink more beer.

All hope lies with seventieslord. His wife was taking pics. Wish I had as I was front and center. The poster they made for the 2 shows is great. I think Ean put it up on another thread. Then they had badges of each member, taken from the poster.

I didn't see any t-shirts, but maybe I wasn't looking too hard. I would have purchased several of the posters if I had a way to get them home safely. Whoever made that poster has got talent.

There was one shirt. It had guitar necks sticking up out of a city with The Wildhearts across it. Under that it says "must destroy New York and New Jersey too.
