Badflower

Last night Dave & I went to Pat Garrett Amphitheatre in Struasstown, PA for the Badflower concert.  This was the first time for me at this venue it is a nice outdoor venue with no seats all GA which was good for us we were there early and got in and up front, Place could hold a lot of people with a large open area but was not full.  Opening act was local band The Stonewall Vessels from Lancaster, PA playing about 40 minutes.  Badflower came on a little after 9PM and played a little over an hour and half for the 16 song set (See Josh Katz's actual set-list below).  Not on the set-list the reversed order of play "24" & "Move Me" then didn't play "Cry".

Joe Montana

I received a promotion gift card from Goldin Auctions for there June 5th auction so I figured I would look to see what they had seemed like even the lower end stuff was going for a lot of money.  So I watched a bunch of items and as the went to high unwatched them.  Also bid on a couple of items Joe Namath autographs until they were too high. Was hoping to add a needed Football HOFer for the collection and this Joe Montana 1994 SP All-Pro Holoviews # PB-17 fit the bill and by 10:30 PM June 5th I was still the high bid.  Was actually fun to do the auction knowing I had a hard limit. Joe is my 236th football Hall of Fame autograph.
