This was the party which was Mike's first party as full host, and from what I remember it went well.  There was an odd little alcove in the basement with an anti-stage and I think a fireplace where Ben stood on a stage above the pit, as it were.  The quality of this recording (as well as the excellent setlist) is rather swell, and other than the fact that Tony Lowry sat close to the microphone (giving us a very clear recording of his opinionated voice), this recording is probably perfect.  A great example of a frontman telling his audience to "shut the fuck up" and pay attention.  There was an upstairs if you didn't give a shit, but if you didn't you must be a dick.

Speaking of dicks, I got really drunk and somehow managed to make it home safely, but only recorded one full song and two halves of Jenny's.  I got a sweet field recording of outside the party, though.  Probably on my way out.

Also, Hot Fighter #1 were supposed to perform.  Listen to the show to find out why they did not.
