Show Date: August 21, 2009 - The Mink

The Mink was the very first bar I was introduced to when I moved back to Houston. The coolest most-laid back place with a backroom that houses various shows throughout the week. I've had plenty interesting stories from the Mink, random hookups, run ins with the law, and met Shiny Toys Guns there once, but I digress. We were stoked to be playing there and on top of it all, we'd be hitting the stage with Houston's own Neon Collars.

Neon Collars is an experimental neo-soul band that has a great draw. They brought the most rowdy crowd of hip hop and R&B enthusiasts. We went on after them and proceeded to drive most of their crowd away. It was a combination of us not being anything at all R&B or hip hop and I probably shouldn't have worn this black kimono-like vest that looked more or less like a dress with a bright yellow raincoat.

I did start break dancing however but that didn't seem to make a difference.
