| Familiar Territory We play at Schuba's in Chicago tonight. We have a lot of friends and funs in this area. So, we are very looking forward to play in Chicago.  |  | 
|  | The First Straw We came around 5:45 pm for the sound check to perform at 8 pm. The club booked some local band after us to play at 10 pm and slightly changed our show time to 7 pm. This is not a good thing to do without telling us. | 
| The Biggest Straw The worst part: the local band playing after us is doing sound check-ish or rehearsing on the stage. We asked them to finish what they are doing and clear the stage for us now. |  | 
|  | Point of Schtick Our good friend who talks a lot and always a "point of stick" man for us made a voltage converter for me to use with the VG-8. Thank you, Ben! | 
| Sunnyside Paul and Bert are remembering how "Scramble" went. We played this piece at the end of show in the audience. |  | 
|  | The Best Straw Very, very nice audiences they are at Schuba's. We had a very good performance and had a great audience. Thank you very much who all came to see us tonight and see you soon! |
