I'M REALLY LIKING THIS PLACE WITH THE BLUES ATMOSPHERE AND ALL. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HORRIFIC WEATHER EVENING WITH SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN,HOWEVER IT HELD OFF AND ONLY SNOWED AN INCH OR TWO.WE MADE IT THERE JAST AS THE BOYS WERE STARTING TO JAM AND JAM THEY DID. IT WAS A TONED DOWN CROWD DUE TO THE  WEATHER SCARE NORMALLY AT THIS VENUE THE CROWD IS ELBOW TO ELBOW AND YOU CAN'T MOVE IN THERE.HOLIDAY SPIRIT WAS IN THE AIR,I WORE MY ELF CAP AND WAS JINGLEING AROUND THE ROOM.I WAS ACCOMPANIED BY NICOLE,GRIMACE AND OF COURSE MIKE Y. THANKS TO THE GRIMINAL FOR GETTING US TO AND FROM MOUNT PROSPECT SAFE AND SOUND. DRANK SOME XMAS THEMED BEERS AT THE HOUSE PRIOR TO GOING OUT, THEY HAD THE STONE VANILLA PORTER WAS AWESOME AND HAD SEVERAL OTHER SPICED BEVERAGES. OH YEA AND THE IRISH CAR BOMBS KEPT DROPPNG IN MY LAP AND I BELIEVE SOME FIREBALL CINNAMON WHISKEY WAS PRESENT,I THINK?
THE CRYSTAL LAKE CROWD WAS IN FULL SWING AT THE SHOW,ED AND KATHY WERE IN XMAS SPIRIT,DANCY NANCY AND HER HUSBAND WERE THERE.GIA AND HERE MERCH BOOTH IN THE CORNER NEAR THE DOOR. 

SOME YAHOO ON THE WEBSITE MENTIONED THE BLOTTO FANS WERE GOOFY DRUNK IMATURE AND OTHER THINGS I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT EVER. I BEING A FAN FOR SOME TIME HAVE SEEN NOTHING OF THE SORT, I ACTUALLY THINK OUR CROWD IS SOPHISTICATED AND GENERALLY 30 AND OLDER,SOME BARS THEY PLAY AT HAVE WHAT HE WAS SPEAKING OF BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN IT,SORRY BLOTTO GRINCH! ARE YOU THERE TO SEE THE FANS OR THE BAND? I HOPE ALL OF YOU TRUE BLOTTOFAMILY MEMBERS BEHAVE AND ENJOY YOUR XMAS HOLIDAY AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR. I WILL SEE YOU ALL AT CUBBY BEAR XMAS NITE!
