"I distinctly remember my first show there. It was August 5th 1995, a hot sunny day. We had played Champaign the night before. We rolled up and were hanging outside before the show. Sonny from the V.S.S. was sitting on the sidewalk just chilling out, so we struck up a conversation. The anticipation of the show was almost as exciting as playing itself. The bill: Braid, V.S.S. Traluma, and International Hoodwink. I had arrived!! I couldn't sleep after that show I was so hopped up on adrenaline from playing to people who were there because they really loved music. "
