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.
