Notes

• First live performance of “Ant Farm”.
• Richard begins the grand tradition of messing up the ending of “Big Business”.
  I know what you’re thinking. “Did we play that section six times or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.
  In his defense, he had to get up early the next morning to play a gamelan concert in Bloomington.

Notes

• This performance is immortalized in Ingress as the main photo for the Mike N Molly’s portal (it’s also the main Gym photo in Pokémon Go).
• SOMEONE forgot to order toner, meaning it was impossible to print agendas—until Andy stepped up. There was no extra compensation, as The Autocorrect believes the feeling of having done the right thing should be its own reward.

Notes

• Our first show at the record store, and it was a benefit for a good cause.
• As the show was close to Halloween, costumes were mandatory. Rex was a Dharma Initiative technician, Richard was Dwight Schrute (or probably more accurately Jim impersonating Dwight), and Andy was Doctor Evil.

Notes

• Due to circumstances, this ended up being a really good sounding practice. Two of the bands were caught in traffic, so that cut our audience in half! But the bass player in Multicult had the sickest tone ever, so that was cool.

Notes

• Unofficial/informal EP release, and the start of many awkward “we sound nothing like this anymore and only play one of the songs on here” discussions.
• First live performance of “The Bureaucrat’s Lament”.
• Another Friday show, which means Mandatory Hawaiian Shirts. The other bands complied!
• Roger was named “Employee of the Year” and proceeded to malfunction for most of the rest of the show.
