Pietasters, Checkered Cabs at Wetlands, NYC

Amy and i went to this show on our honeymoon.  We loved the Pietasters - on a lark, i sent them a letter (this was before email) seeing if for some reason they'd be able to play our wedding.  They could not, as their lead singer was getting married the same day (and, ya know, they live in Washington DC).

The show was great.  Though i don't remember seeing chris murray or the miggedys, the internet tells me they did, in fact, play.

The Soulskats in Santa Fe

Happened across a ska band playing in some park on our way to dinner in Santa Fe (on our honeymoon).  Don't remember much about it, only that it was a happy coincidence.  Here's what I wrote at the time (actually, 2 1/2 weeks later):

"We went out to get a nice dinner (Rich made some suggestions) + on the way we came across a ska band playing in a park!  Quite a scene - skaters + tattooed freaks!  The band was alright (Soulskats, I think), but it sure was an amazing coincidence!"

That sure was a lot of exclamation marks.  I must have been more excitable back then.  Also, I wrote this in the margin:

"BIG MAN WALKING A TEENY-WEENY DOG."
