Thanks to Shy for being the gamer that she is. She helped us out so much last year and when Kelly couldn't be there for these shows Shy stepped right up and took the gig again. Not only was it great to perform with her again, but it was awesome to see basically her whole family make the trip and party it up with us in Green Bay. Thanks to all of them as well.
We made some great, new friends in Dan and Mike from SLAP Productions, who ran our sound and lights for this weekend. Not that they need any extra endorsements, but these guys were great, professional, abusive (in a fun and entertaining way) and right on with everything they did. Thanks to the both of you for making things look and sound incredible.
Thanks to Shelly and Darren for coming up on Friday and also for taking many of these pictures. Great to see the both of you again. DON'T BE STRANGERS! (we know you weren't being strangers, but if we didn't give you a hard time... it just wouldn't be right) And thanks to Matt for the pictures from the second night! Hopefully the winnings continued after the blackjack table. YAY!
And the last bit of appreciation goes to all of the staff at Purcell's and the entire Radisson and Oneida Casino in Green Bay. Everyone we worked with or asked for something from were incredible, polite and fun to be with. From loading in, to shows, to eating (and drinking), to loading out... you were all fantastic and we appreciated everything that you did.

During the week, prior to this show, we found out that Dave Detlaff from Rhythm Method had passed away. As a tribute to him and as a part of grieving for the loss of a fellow musician we stood a lone guitar to the side of the stage, which Dave had previously borrowed from Scott for a Van Halen tribute show. We are sad at the loss to Milwaukee and all of Wisconsin, but especially for his close friends, family and bandmates. Peace, Dave.
