 The fundraiser for Cookies and Cards was awesome. A lot of amazing talent. It started at noon with me, which was weird... I wasn't quite awake yet... A lot of people showed up though. Good times.

Setlist: Christophe And The Prairie Fire - 07-22-2011 Moore Reel International Film Fest, Old School, Moore, OK

 Moore's first film fest. We played the second day of this three day event. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned and one of the events planned for the night had been moved to another location in town, pulling all of the crowd away from the Old School. We played anyway and had some fun.

Setlist: Christophe And The Prairie Fire - 07-20-2011 Bang Bang, The Hidden Castle, Norman, OK

 This was our first show with Bang Bang. It was just the core trio. We had a lot of fun. People seemed to enjoy it. I didn't bother writing a setlist beforehand, and there was so many songs I wished I'd played instead for this crowd, that I forgot and didn't. There's always next time though. We will now be performing with Bang Band the third Wednesday of every month.

 After Sips, I went over to the Watering Hole for a while. It's been a while since I've been there. That's where I first did a two-step. Good memories. I was joined on stage by a pretty little girl named Sheila who just wanted to sing Etta James. Had some fun.

 Beau had a little get together Saturday night. Mostly friends and a few others. Had a good time. Beau played two sets with different friends sitting in from song to song. Also began the second set with the premier of his new music video "Ellen". It was a laid back atmosphere with no p.a. Just relying on the awesome acoustics of the Form & Function Lab.

Setlist: Christophe - 07-15-2011 Moore Art Walk, Handmade With HeART, Moore, OK

 Played the Moore Art Walk again tonight. I guess wires were crossed somewhere and I had been booked, but I wasn't contacted. Handmade with heART were interviewed on OklaLive this morning and told them I was going to play... so when I found out, I got off work early and came out and played. Had a good time, just wished I could have stayed for the entire thing. My friend Taylor Dickerson was also playing the Art Walk in front of the old school house. So on my way out I stopped by to see her, and let 'em talk me into doing a song. (They didn't have to try very hard)

Setlist: Christophe and the Prairie Fire - 07-12-2011 Michelangelo's, Norman, OK

 This was the first unofficial show for the Prairie Fire. Fire was having his birthday party at Michelangelo's so we came out to do a set. I broke my "a" string on the second song. Nobody wanted to loan me a guitar or run out and get me a string. Ended up I was all out of spares. So I just played the rest of the night without it. It was a little awkward considering it was the route notes for my C, B & A chords, but we did it anyway.

 Still part of the Art Walk, after the Merrybelle's show I headed over to Michelangelo's to do a late set. Isaiah Harrell joined me on drums for this set. It was awesome. Look for him with me a lot more in the future. Had a few friends show up, did a mild version of my rowdier set. People were having fun, so we did double the amount of song we planned on.

Setlist: Christophe - 07-08-2011 Merrybelle's, Norman, OK

 For the Norman Art Walk I played an early set at Merrybelle's and a later set at Michelangelo's. The Merrybelle's show was a lot of fun. Dave Broyles of Shotgun Rooster opened up the night, I did a set of some of my mellower stuff, The Father Phil after me, even a cat from the Norman Weekender came up and did a song. The final act I don't know the name of, but was a lot of fun. It was a duo that played accordion and steel drum. We did this show a little different. JJ wanted it to be a more mellow kind of atmosphere so we didn't use a p.a. or any amps. The show had a nice laid back feel.
