Thanks to everyone who came out, sadly too many to name here.   This was the best Crossroads gig to date.  In our 2 year existence, this was the best crowd, and the best show we put on.  That in and of itself is amazing when you consider the fact that Chris, Jim and I were all sick that day.  I was stuck in bed most of the day with a fever.  Sadly we had to cancel the 'Crossroads Kissing Booth, which was scheduled to go on in between the 2nd and 3rd set.  Sorry, ladies.  Better luck next week.

I had never played at the Horsham Inn before.  I'd never been inside before.  I've been to the driving range and miniature golf next door a gazillion times -- even been inside the base across the street.  But never the Horsham Inn.  And I would always hear my musician friends fondly talk of this venue, and how they'd had many great memories playing there.  Ever since I moved into the area in the early 1990s, I wanted in.  Only took 18 me years to accomplish it, but now it's finally happened.

First off, I want to thank Mike, Joanne and Ann for giving us the opportunity to play here.  This was a long time in the making.  I remember at one soccer practice (I coach soccer for my kids' teams) I casually dropped into a conversation with Ann that "Yeah so more passing with the outside of the foot, and I play in a band, I wanna play the Horsham Inn."  I came off sounding a little cheesy.  Well, there were more discussions, a little more cheese, some whining, and then some groveling, followed by more discussion, then a demo CD!  The CD did bring some interest into the mix, but then things kinda went away for a little while.  Then one night we played at Tex Mex in North Wales, and Scott, Ann and Joanne were on hand to see us play.  They decided that maybe we should make this thing happen once and for all.  We booked the dates, and here we are.

As I said earlier, this was the best crowd Crossroads has experienced.  The dance floor got busy early, and stayed that way all night.  And everyone was having the best time.  Several people took pictures throughout the night.  And you can just see it on everyone's face -- this was a great night.  And we're thrilled that we're going to be back here two more times before the summer.

I do owe an apology of sorts.  The overall band volume was excessive that night.  No, we're not usually that loud.  My amp was too loud, which caused Gene to turn up, then eventually Chris turned up, too.  My bad.  We've talked about it extensively this week (I've got exhaustive email threads to prove it), and we understand the root cause (me)  as well as the solution (me behave).  Hopefully we didn't take away too much of your hearing that night.

Well, I hope you enjoy these pictures -- there's 83 of them!  Some of the captions are rather silly.  And from putting this together, I think I know everyone's name, so don't freak out if I wave you down at Acme or something.  And hey, if anyone wants their picture (or caption) removed/altered, let us know so we can properly extort money from you.

This Saturday, we're in the area at E's Irish Pub.  Click on the Appearances link on the left side of the page to see when and where we'll be in the coming weeks.  And, if you need directions to any of the locations, click on the Crossroads Calendar (also on the Appearances page), then click on the date, and then look for the 'Map It' link provided.
