Gotta thank Pat & the gang for braving the first snowstorm of the season to make it to Iowa's Premier ...(OK Only)... Pat venue. Murf hope the Sudafeds w/ Jameson chasers get ya feeling a little better.

Brought along a curious cubicle neighbor to pop his Pat cherry, and to finally get hear Pat live vs. when I crank Thankless Bastards on my ipod at quitting time.

I didn't manage to win at the riverboat casino but "Lucky Lloyd" just couldn't loose.

Thanks to fellow Cedar Rapidian/former Milwaukean Dr "Crazy Guy" Tom for sharing his table in the front row. Pipe's new speakers rocked but didn't cause any ruptures of the ear canals.

We were treated to:

Sound of music Intro
Should never have come to this party
Ruin my life
Who am I
Idiot for your love
Give me your love
Country Medley/Shakespeare
Imagine a picture
Gregorian Chants
Anyone?s Guess
Monkey paw
Hey Patty (Marv's, lap song - Celine Dione's It's all coming back to me now)
Then In honor of other ethic groups in attendance, an awesome array of rock songs w/ (almost) German lyrics

Are we having fun
Electronic friend
I like everything
Chokin the gopher w/ Anna
90's
Knock things over

Sex & Beer

Remember I was down $100  before  # 11 (picked in honor of Veterans Day) on a $5 Roulette made me the guy to pick up the dinner tab..... Yes I later realized it was the 10th not the 11th.....

A big thanks to Crazy Tommy for sharing the table and providing the drunken Pathead support flying off the bow of the Titanic...

Also a big thanks to CheddarDog for driving the house-car in the freezing rain.

Please say Pat will be back before next Spring at Dubuque's Riverfest....

Glad to hear you three made it home okay. I was quite happy I opted for the Holiday Inn. It was nice to meet fellow Patheads from CR, we'll have to hit Granite City sometime. Thanks for the drinks you dogs.
