A Word from Josh:
Just a few miles north of Madison, the Lodi Bowl is a cozy little venue with small town appeal. Or, as I call it "Badger Bowl LITE". The show went smoothly but was generally less intense than usual. That didn't bother us because it seemed kind of fitting for this venue. Tonight was actually quite sentimental as John, Shane and I were all surprised to see some old friends, some of whom we hadn't seen in many years. Fellow musicians in the crowd included members of Sonic Rush, Fog and 76 Juliet. After the show, some of us went over to Shane's house where we ate pizza and watched Iron Maiden videos. Yes, it was every bit as much fun as it sounds. I guess I don't have much else to say about this pleasant evening. So, I think I'll spend the rest of the day working on more important things... like worrying about Martha Stewart. --Josh

VOICES FROM THE CROWD:
Were you at this show?
Would you like to comment on it?
Bittersweeteus:
"This night proved, that no matter the surroundings or atmosphere, the guys always put on a astounding show. It's just a shame that some of the patrons weren't receptive to the fact no matter how hard John tried to get them involved. But I didn't let them dampen my spirits. I had a fantastic time! And to you John, don't ever lose that great disposition or smile. By the way loved the shirt!!"

Zep:
"This is only the second time I've seen Cherry Pie (the first was at Rooter's in Waukesha in February), so I was surprised by the small attendance. But then again, we're talking about Lodi. Of course it was still a great show with lots of rockin' tunes, great guitar, and screamin' lyrics! Can't wait to see CP again :)"

Blondie:
"You guys always put on a good show. After being such a faithful fan for the last four years, I have to say this show has left a lasting impression. I only have one regret...that I didn't stick around for the pizza. Oh, yeah...Shane, thanks for the shirt. :)"
