TMRW, KIDS!

This is gonna be fun, I'm looking forward to seeing these Frankenstein bands.

Glory be in the highest! Stocking up the beer fridge tonight!!!!

Complete strangers are awkwardly getting to know eachother while day drinking & deciding which Fleetwood Mac song to cover:

Complete strangers are coming together thru their mutual affection for 50's slapback echo & Bootsy's slappin' da bass:

Complete strangers are now a bit too tipsy & have abandoned practice to watch old episodes of Perfect Strangers:

The Rock Potluck is always unique & entertaining but I'm really hoping the full moon means extra weirdness tonight! Music kicks off in about 2 hours.

Thanks to everybody who joined in the Rock Potluck fun last night. I thought it was another stellar year. Lots of highlights for me, but more than anything I’m always heartened by the massive turnout and seeing so many good friends from various corners of the music scene commingling and sharing in the awesome holiday-slash-community vibe. It never fails to inspire. It never fails to be one of my favorite nights of the entire year. So, thanks again!

If you got any good pics or video from last night, please send it to me at bmiller [at] pabst.com – I’ll post what I get to the PBR site.

Also, if you wanna share your reviews/thoughts on last night, I'd love to hear them. Favorite band? Favorite song? Etc., etc.

I didn't catch the name of Val Glenn's band, but their cover of "Real Love" was the best cover I've ever witnessed at the Potluck. Just edging out the Wilson Phillips' cover from a couple of years back.
