Saw the first night last night. Made it to the satyricon and had a nice chat with Nels, Bill and Kevin. they all seem very excited to be on the road and were very friendly. Kevin was a little nervous beforehand and thought that the show would be great, or be a first night out kindof a show. The Fibbers were wonderful last night!! The set consisted off material off of "Butch" . Only other songs played was a cover (?, didn't recognize it) and Lillybelle to finish the night off. I was a little dissapointed not to hear stuff from the last two releases, though the energy of the show and the band being so into it, made up for it. Crowd loved them! New Violinist was right on and did a tremendous job!

I just can't wait to see them again tomorrow night!
