33 Degrees in-store & the Mercury, Austin, TX
Friday, 26 January 2001
with Ghostcar
Well the instore was great. Although why 33 Degrees (the store) promoted it
as an acoustic show is beyond me. Same setup as the live show, Mim did note
that she was acoustic. Hollis made an appearance, being adorable and
occasionally expressing pleasure while watching Mom, Dad & Uncle Zak made
beautiful music. She's a cutie but was not too fond of me. Beards tend to
scare babies. I'm generally harmless though.
They played I think four songs but I can't remember the new ones. Old stuff
was Starfire & Violence (played after someone bizarrely requested football).
Very intimate & packed.
The actual show was great, as usual. This time I actually wrote down what
they played.
Encore:
They continued a trend of pulling chestnuts out. Makes for nice surprises.
Funniest thing was near the end of Immune. After musically asking "Am I
naked too?" Alan asked Mim, "Are you naked Mim?" No response, or maybe
slight eye-rolling. It was hard to tell. "Are you naked Zak?" Alan
continued. Zak nodded, "Yes I am." Singing resumes. Tee hee.

P.S. Oh yeah. Meeting Starfire was a thrill. What a guy. Seeing him cradle
Hollis with a big grin on his face while the band played "Starfire" was
priceless.
