Review:
After seeing several short sets from Natalie, it was nice to get the full set, including some 10,000 Maniacs classics.

Review:
Changes for the HFStival, as it moved up the road to PSINet Stadium in Baltimore. Happy to see Fountains of Wayne for the first (and last) time, and finally see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I remember a clear blue sky all day.

Pat McGee Band at Herndon Town Green, Herndon, VA, USA
Review:
Oh, the days when Friday Night Live! was not primarily cover bands. My first time seeing Pat McGee, and definitely not the last.

Love Seed Mama Jump at Herndon Town Green, Herndon, VA, USA
Review:
By this time, Melanie and I had bought a townhouse in Herndon, so we could walk down to the Town Green and see concerts. The Friday Night Live! part seems pretty obvious.

My first time seeing Alanis, as she was delightful, nice mix of her then two albums. Liz was also great, adding songs from whitechocolatespaceegg.

Neil Gaiman at Bibelot, Baltimore, MD, USA
Review:
After a signing tour in 1994, this was the first time I saw Neil read. It was a tour to promote Stardust, so he read some, then signed for a very long time.

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds at Landmark Theatre, Richmond, VA, USA
Review:
With the growing popularity of Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds hadn’t toured much in the previous years, but this tour celebrated their CD release of Live at Luther College, which came out the day of this show. We got a lot of Before These Crowded Streets songs, which was great.

emmet swimming with Smartbomb at 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
As the flyer stated, “we will be doing our recording for our new live CD, please come and be heard!” I could not resist that, so we went and we’re somewhere on Earplugs 50¢. Not all of it, as they also recorded the next night at Alley Katz in Richmond and used that too.

Cake, Soul Coughing, Garbage & Hole at Patriot Center, Fairfax, VA, USA for HFSMas Nutcracker
Review:
Plenty of good bands for my last Nutcracker at the Patriot Center. I had always enjoyed Garbage, but Cake and Soul Coughing were fun as well. Then Hole just came to rock with nearly an hour long set.

Our first show with BNL as a headliner. Plenty of time for the full nonsense we loved.
