 My phone fucked up and deleted the setlist. So I can't post it. We did circle jam style taking turns. A lot of originals. Songs by Toone, Trashville & myself. When SmacOne & Q showed up we started throwing in rap songs freestyled & Alex came in at the end of the evening for just a few more songs. Wish I had the set to post, it sounded great...

This time it was a slow night even for the depot. Not as many SWAN members showed up. I brought my friend Danny Trashville with me to play some songs as well. It was still a good time.

 Tonight was the SWAN Songwriter Night at Michelangelo's. Storms hit pretty hard, wind was blowing like a maniac, power cut off and hail was coming down.... so what did we do? Kept playing. Michelangelo's brought out the candles and served up the wine. Towards the end of the night David Henson, Daddy Love and myself did a little circle jam. It was definitely a night to remember.

Setlist: Christophe - 06-11-2011 Michelangelo's, Norman, OK

 Another gig at Michelangelo's. Still having a problem getting people out here. They are starting to have music regularly now, so we're hoping that's going to change. I played the late set, Chris Valencia did the dinner set. There were a few cats that stuck around to watch me and stayed for the whole thing. Also, an old friend popped in that I ain't seen in years. That was good. Ended up breaking a string, but it was just on the last song... so I didn't bother to change. Just played through it.

Setlist: Christophe - 06-10-2011 MerryBelle's, Norman, OK

 This was for the second Friday Norman Art Walk held every month. I played at a new shop called MerryBelle's. This was not my best performance at all, but this was the best show I played this year for one reason. The kids... I was just up on stage doing my thang. Drinkin' whiskey and playing songs. Next thing I know, there's about a half dozen kids around the stage. So, I'm trying to think what a good song to play might be and one of them says to me (I think it was the Father Phil's kid), "What would you do if I threw my shoe at you?", So I replied, "Well, I'll just have to throw something back!". The boy says "What?". I then looked at what I had, which was hardly anything, and said "Ummm... this Norman Music Festival guitar pic!". Well... that was just asking for it... his shoe came flying. I threw the guitar pic, and then another shoe came... so I threw another pic. It was a blast...I haven't had that much fun at a show since the peep fight with Therogy about a decade ago. After that was over with I tried to think of a good song to play for the children. I decided 'Road Rash' would be a good one. It's a cautionary tale about why you don't want to live like me or my friends. Every time I got to the line "Eat my dinner from a garbage can" you would hear all the kids say "EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!". It was beautiful. I wish I had that one recorded.

 I'm not positive about the order of things... I'm almost positive I left out some of the songs I played and I'm pretty sure it's not in exact order. Once again I had a set list, and then I didn't follow it. For my second set Allin wrote it down for me... I guess I was drunk by that point, because I don't have any idea what some of them were... so I will just put what he wrote down.

Setlist: Christophe - 06-09-2011 Michelangelo's, Norman, OK

 It was good to see Jack & Phyllis back at the Michelangelo's Open Mic, even though I didn't get to see them play. This was a bad night for me. Jack on my guitar was fucked up and it would cut out any time I moved even an inch. After a couple songs I just stopped because it was too frustrating. Real pain in the ass. Definitely not a shining moment for me.

Picked up Danny Trashville to play with us as well. Just took turns doing short sets. Not too many people, it being Monday night and no one knowing about it... but that just meant more beer for us!

 Third and final day of SoonerCon. SmacOne was able to join me this time around. This was a bit different than the day before. Everyone was trashed out and hung over from the Zombie Prom. I felt so mellow and wanted to go back to sleep. Still loved it though. This time I had a setlist, but didn't follow it... so once again... this is to the best of my memory.

 This was the second day of SoonerCon, and the first day I set to play. I was booked to play in the ConSuite. As with most places, they booked me with no one after me so I got to go a little longer. I really liked that. Ran into a lot of old friends and made some new ones... and got drunk as fuck (after I played). But what's a con for, right? Anyway, I didn't prepare a set for this gig, just winged it. This was best I could remember when I finished.

 Shit... I don't even know where to begin when talking about this house party. I won't even bother... I'll talk about the bands though. We opened up as SSKK, Fresh Logic was second and Orange Sherbert closed off the night. Fresh Logic have some good flow... Orange Sherbert are... gay-rape rap? The lyrics are hilarious, and that they all look like 12 year old boys adds to the humor. I have an early demo, but it doesn't compare to these guys live. They were actually really good!
