I asked JR to show up to the studio around 7 and told him that he could invite some friends to come watch the show and drink the beer I brought for them. They started loading in around 8 and as their set time drew closer, the main room at Different Fur Studios became so stuffed with mission kids, loose affiliations and folks whispering about cryptic “secret show” text messages that the glass to the control room started to fog up. Before they played the first notes of “Laura,” all the beer was gone, the PA was acting up and the Different Fur staff were looking at me like, “When is this going to be over, Will?” But the combined powers of Nate Chan, Eugene Cheung, Nic Pope and Patrick Brown somehow pulled this out and made something we’re all very proud of. from Yours Truly
