Do you think there will be tickets available at the door?

I am excited about this show!

I hope SVT is prepared to pay for costly repairs, because PGraph and Get Up are going to blow the roof off the joint!

Yes, although we've sold a whole bunch in the last two days, so who knows?

Seriously.

Everything about last night exceeded my expectations. I had a great time and I was very touched by all the support we received not just last night but since we've started this thing. I feel very lucky and well taken care of. Thanks to everyone who showed up, sent their well wishes, and helped out.

I feel like the pie moved a little higher last night.
