*Finally seeing painfully ignored bands from across the pond - Trashcan Sinatras, The Divine Comedy, You Am I, Richard Hawley but sadly to crowds seen at most local band shows. Boooo, y'all.
*Strolling in just before showtime to learn that Porcupine Tree actually sold-out, therefore stuck at the back of the cafe (lesson learned)
*Every single Robyn Hitchcock appearance especially the one seen standing elbow-to-elbow with David Byrne
*Patti Smith's 'Horses' Anniversary
*Robert Fripp: facing forward, six feet in front of my face, to yet another tiny Croc crowd
*Seeing Peter Buck play with almost every act I paid to see...truly bizarre...
Perhaps most importantly:
Never, EVER leaving the Croc with the slightest complaint about the sound: On stage, or on the floor. Somebody PLEASE get Jim Anderson a job!!
