Brian O'Neill

Craig Klein and Steve Suter

Craig and Steve... early on in the night, still dry.

Mark, Craig, and Steve in one "artisty"

One more still dry shot of the guys.

More Craig, More damp.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Bert Cotton on guitar

Russell Batiste was the 'Spinal Tap' drummer du jour. Always great when he plays.

Mark was trying to dry his head on Craig's shirt. I don't think it actually helped, but it was amusing to watch.

Despite how it looks, Mark's shirt was not made out of a plastic tablecloth.

Brian and Mark. I was just out of reach of the slides, but not the spit.

Mark Mullins, Rock Star

Cowbell, woodblock, rugulator, Matt
