The venue for last nights show was Diverse Works just
outside downtown Houston. Diverse Works is an artist
warehouse and very LOW friendly. The show was in a
black box style theater with seats and a little bit of
a light show. Before the first song was played, Alan
commented that this was a nice step up from being
downstairs at Fitzgerald's the past couple of times to
town and this drew cheers of approval from the crowd.
Alan also pointed out where the exits were located
just incase the pyro got out of hand. Alan started
laughing and Mimi just stood their with arms folded
and most definitely NOT laughing. Alan quickly added
that the fire must have been a horrible thing to
experience and it was most definitely not a laughing
matter.

After the first four or five songs, Alan commented
that some of their louder songs didn't sound good
inside this venue. However, this allowed them to
showcase some of their quieter songs. We were treated
to a acoustic sounding version of "Canada." Alan
started the first two line of "Starfire" and then
stopped saying it wouldn't sound good. Mimi again
folded her arms and said, "we are doing this song!"
At one point, you could hear Zak making chicken sounds
like......bock bock bock (did someone scream do the
bird:)
Major props to Mimi for wearing her red cowboys boots.
