Fat Freddy's Cat had a wonderful time sharing the bill with you guys at the park. After you have a good time like that you wonder why there aren't more shows like that. Sure beats some of the tiny dives I've played in. Again, thanks for a great show and you guys were tight, well rehearsed, and have a great song list.
