Roky has certainly traveled a hard road, but he seems to be doing alright these days … kinda like Brian Wilson. You'll note in the pictures that he's holding a guitar, but I don't recall seeing him play more than a couple disinterested licks, so I removed it from the listing above.

You might also notice that towards the end of the set, I note Jegar as coming back twice. Guessed I wasn't paying enough attention to track when he left in there. Whups!

I was kinda bummed that they didn't play I Walked with a Zombie, but you can't always get what you want!

If the band got introduced properly, I missed it.

It was definitely cool to see how many freaks turned out tonight. Roky's appearance definitely pulled out a different crowd than the usual HSB contingent, yet everyone got along just fine, and while it was a little crowded, I didn't see anyone getting out of control or causing trouble. Good job folks!

This photo gallery should be blamed on the stinky cheese!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
