I guess it is a little misleading to call these "reviews", seeing as they're almost all positive. These aren't really reviews so much as they're stories about my experiences.

Also see my archive of Honolulu shows and pictures/reviews from Coachella 2004 at the bottom of this page.

*All photos and reviews are my own unless otherwise stated...If you attended these or any other Chicago or Honolulu shows and you have anything to contribute (photos, reviews, setlists, corrections, etc.), send them my way and I will credit you.*

But first, sign the guestbook as long as you're here.
