I remember seeing all of you at your table and thinkin, "Who are those guys? They look like true Dogs fans!" 
Are you the guy with the beard?
We'll have to all plan to get together if the Dogs ever come back to New City Cafe (or anywhere else in Knoxville or close by)!

Yep, that was me with the beard. (see pic: www.lotsoforange.com) 
Let me know if the Dogs come to Asheville. Maybe my wife and I would drive over for that. We have four kids (14, 12, 5, 3) so its rare that we get to do concerts together. thats why i was real disappointed that she didnt get to go the show on Wednesday.
the 77s show in Alcoa was freaky for me. Mike Roe's sidekick, Mark Harmon (from California) started telling the audience that he used to spend his summers in East Tennessee. He then said "has anyone heard of Elizabethton?" Well that small town is my hometown! And then he said, "in a place called Stoney Creek". that is the small community where I grew up! It freaked me out. I talked to him for a long time after the show about it. Glad your husband got to come over for that. I heard that Lost dogs had been in Alcoa a few months back and I didnt even know about it! Did he come to that?

Dude, I remember seein you!
MF and I have talked about tryin to get the Dogs here to Asheville. Funds just haven't allowed it yet! 
Maybe someday! 
We'll let ya know if we do!
I didn't hear about the Dogs bein' in Alcoa 
Why didn't I know bout that? 
However, they were in Taccoa Falls, GA in March 2003 and in Alpharetta, GA in October 2003. I only know cuz we were at both shows! And they were great!

Hey, I remember seeing you at New City Cafe!
Didn't know the Dogs were in Alcoa recently!?
I remember at the 77s show someone making some remark to Mark about the whole Stoney Creek deal; cool that it was you! Mark seemed like one real neat guy.
I think it's just a matter of time before we can get them to Asheville. I'm trying to find the right venue and some sponsors, but haven't had any luck so far. Maybe they'll get together some official promotional sheets and CDs together (even if I have to download and print/burn them) and I can pound the pavement and hookup with the right venue and folks.
My dad used to drive through Elizabethon (I think I remembered that right) on business trips on the way to a different plant that the company he worked for had (Great Lakes Carbon Corp).

The fellow who brought the 77s to Alcoa told me he had the Lost dogs there just a few months earlier. I think he catches bands if they are coming through nearby and have an open date and want to add a show. there was no promotion that I'm aware of for that show and probably wasnt much more than the 30 or so in attendance that were at the 77s show, I"m guessing. Anyway I missed it because I didnt even know about it.
The Great Lakes Carbon plant your dad used to drive to is about one mile from where I grew up! My uncle, worked there for about 25 years or so. Small world!

I just registered on this board. I hope I"m clicking all the right buttons. I've enjoyed reading the comments about the Knoxville show. I was there so I thought I'd add my thoughts.
A couple more quirky highlights were when Terry did his impression of Edward G Robinson's character from The Ten Commandments. Adding that he was smoking a cigar in the film. When Mike objected that they didnt have cigars in The Ten Commandments, Terry said something like, "It was the Old Testament! Miracles happened all the time back then. I'm surprised you don't know that!"
Also Terry had us all stand and do Rapture practice. I'll let someone else explain.:-)
I would have to say I didnt think the crowd was as big as stated earlier. When I did a quick count it was under 50 at that time, right after the show began. But that was only in the main room, not the adjoining room. I wish it were a larger crowd.
I took a friend to the show who was unfamiliar with the band. Unfortunately, he is an eye doctor and was on call and had to leave at around song #7. He did return...for the final song. He did buy the new cd however and said he was very impressed and can't wait to hear more.

Our 5 yr old daughter thought the rapture practice was cool.
My estimation of the attendance is admittedly not very precise because our table was down front and I didn't survey the room that well from the connecting doorway either. I guess the tables were more spread out and/or less full than I estimated in my memory. I would still have guessed it was a bit more than 50 though, but I did not count.

Wow, didn't know you were there!
Which table were you sitting at? Were you at the front table on the right? (Reason I ask has to do with your friend - see next paragraph) MF and I speculated as to whether anyone from the DAmb was there.
That's horrible that your friend had to leave and missed most of the show. 
Glad he was able to return for the final song though. I saw him there early in the show and didn't see him slip out but I was on the cafe side when he returned (assume it was your friend because the man I am talking about returned right before the last song). Hope he really enjoys Mutt! I'm sure the Dogs would echo my sentiment: thanks for doin' your part!
And glad you're here to join us on the DAmb!

Derri also had a neat new-looking pedalboard unit with 2 big pedals and probably a half-dozen switches or something. It was bluish-purple with some orange-tinted LCD screens. I want to say it was Line 1 brand but I wouldn't bet on that.
Derri had a small electric amp that I couldn't quite make out the brand name of.
Terry had 1 pedal that I saw.
Mike had a big conglomeration of pedals on a homemade setup. I remember at the 77s Alcoa show he had a buncha power adapters plugged into an outlet which looked kinda funny. Didn't notice if it was in fact the very same board or not.
Mike had a small Vox amp for his electric.

"The Firemans Friend".....

Yep, like that! I think I remember at the 77s show when I took a closer look, that he had the 9V power adapters zip-tied to the outlets so they wouldn't fall out!
Hey, whatever works for him is fine with me!

Then she needs to maximize her throughput, find twigs
with multiple arms and roast a ton at a time. Eventually
she could hire some smaller person to hold the twig for her
and another one to lay out the napkins in a row....

All this discussion of people seeing the Dogs live is making me jealous.
You won't like me when I'm jealous.
I turn all green with envy.
That's right. I'm the Incredible Sulk.
