I flew out to those 2 gigs from New England. My recollection was that
the Cubby Bear was pretty crowded compared to some of the other HW dates
I attended in that time frame. Also, the crowd seemed very energized and
nearly aggressive at that gig. The Thirsty Whale gig, I liked a lot
better. It was less crowded and seemed friendlier. Also, what an opening
band, The Sex Kittens. I will not soon forget the female lead singer
pouring bottles of water all over herself and then jumping off the stage
into the audience. If I remember correctly, the music wasn't bad
either.Chris
