The Shuffle thing was wierd. We got there (Me, Evans and some friends) and there were just two other people in the place by that time. The singer was out front shouting at a cop and the staff were telling the cop she was just crazy and making it up. The two others inside said that the band had put their personal effects behind the bar while sound checking. Then when the singer went to make a call, her phone wasn't there. Then she threatened to take a mic as collateral. You could see what was going on though, the staff were just blowing her off with grins and protestations, not trying to look or be helpful and she just got double-mad. Strange night.

Ah, those that can't - correct. Yes, the show was over at 8 (thus the "ends at 8").

Aric, can you lay down the crack pipe or write your future bits in English? "The phrase “ends at 8” sends us back to that Goa party we ended up at once. Unfortunately that phrase also came up this past weekend in regards to the Female Flower Fest at YYT. Now, we understand that it’s a long and dark walk from that warehouse to the street, but we hadn’t even finished our brisket by 8 pm! We did receive stories of some laowai proposing (like, really — not just a few warm cans of beer too many) to the lead singer of The Fuckenrolls." So ... the show was cancelled?
