What went down

Our show at F.U.B.A.R. last night was probably the most fun show i've ever done. We had literally no practices since our previous show, save a quick acoustic run through a few minutes before our set. But we got up there, no technical hassles, no nerves or anything. And the kids dug us, even though they've never heard of us before.
During "Shiver", a fast-paced pop punkish song, there were a bunch of guys skanking. I never thought of the song as a skanking song. It was pretty funny to watch.
While i was doing my solo cover of "Beauty In The Breakdown", i saw a bunch of people singing along.
When i was announcing "Between Two Autumns" i said it was a love song, and told them to grab a friend. During the song i saw couples holding each other and swaying to the music. Quite possibly one of the best moments of my life.
Some guy took pictures and gave them to us today, too. All seven of them look freaking amazing and i put them up on the myspace. After our set we got so many compliments, and some drunk guy was like "i really liked your music, there was so much depth to it. The slow parts were in all the right places and the ending was awesome."
How could a night get any better than that? Besides talking with a bunch of cute girls afterwards, getting numbers and names, and celebrating at Denny's with the band, Cameron, Keith, Kasey, and Kevin?
I don't really think it can.

On a final note, while we were setting up, i was kind of struck by the amazing view of all the silhouettes in the crowd, tipped with the colors of the lights from above, so i took a video from the stage with my friend's camera... i'll put it up when i get it back.
