I remember buying 6 Tickets to this show and telling everyone in the crew to grab their own and we would rangle the straglers  on the hope and promise that the whole crew (two car loads) would head down together. (Guelph/Toronto Ont.) to Buffalo. Fact: The Town Ballroom is one of the best venues in the world. In the world. Everyone got their own tickets and I ended up with 5 extra as we headed down in 1 car. I figured I would offer them up for somewhere between free and face when we got down to the venue. I remember walking the alley way towards the venue and it was crowded. This dude came up and said 'ticekts' I just said I have some extras (cause I thougt he was selling/scalping' but his eyes lit up and he said how many do you have theres 6 of us and it sold out today.  I said, 'Oh wow, I have 5' He said fuck ya, we found 1 already how much do you want? I said 'face' he couldn't believe it, he yelled for all his buddies. They were so stoked. Fast forward to the open w/ National Anthem. Ryan knew exactly what the fuck he was doing rocking that bassline to start the show. Confusing everyone into thinking 'Who does this, what the fuck? This is awesome' What a moment. I cleary remmeber the backlit white strobe lights during Mulches to close the first set. Jake, Ryan and Brendan were more or less perched on the monitors like a bunch of preying Mantis' flying x-wings. FUck ya !

12 years later I remember this show vividly. (Currently Jan. 6 2024) Brendan came out on stage, Sunday afternoon 2 ish pm, SUN beating down on the crowd>almost all the boys have sunglasses on and you can tell its been a hell of a weekend of hardwork and a shitload of fun. > I can't remember if it was before they started or after a song or two but I clearly remember Brendan looking out at the crowd and just saying "Its hot as balls out here"     I don't think he said anything like 'drink water' or anything else, it was just the straight truth that it was the hottest part of the day nearing the end of a fucking awesome weekend. He just acknowldged the moment. It was beautiful. I got to share this show with one of my best friends, maybe the the smartest person I've known who was my peer, A genius, he passed in August 2020. We had so much fun at this show, we witnessed the debut of Crucial Taunt, introduced along the lines of "Can we play a new song for you?" (Ya go for it) Tom and I looked at eachother after that song and we just fucking locked in on agreement that this band is special, we knew in that moment that they could/would push forward while being true to themselves and having fun. (bUt they didn't fucking around) We understood the commitment to quality, if this was a new song and it was this tight, then we're dealing with a band that we thought was the fucking best but they're giving us new reasons, more evidence of why. It was hot as balls and we'd been after it all weekend with the best of em. I love this memory. Cheers to Tommy G. RIP
