On a rainy Saturday, May 11, 1996, in Arlington, Virginia, Bob Johnson played before 30-50 noisy, beer drinking, sometimes indifferent friends and friends of friends. It could have been better (if I'd have gotten some), and it could have been worse (if the cops would have arrested us instead of just telling us to turn it down). All in all, I did see two of the three Star Wars movies.

Set Numero Uno:

• "The Letter"- The Box Tops
• "Here Comes Your Man"- The Pixies
• "I Just Want To Get Along" - The Breeders
• "No Depression"- Uncle Tupelo

And then, the cops came :-(
