Subject: ERIC SARDINAS 2-13-04 REVIEW

Just back from the show, photos will arrive tomorrow!!!! Wow!! I attended the show with my great friends Bob Farr & Crystal Martinson!! The band came on at 9:30 blazing through set regulars Imperial Strut, You Don't Love Me, I'm Worried, The Girl I've Been Loving, Get Along Rider, I Can't Be Satisfied, Come On In My Kitchen, Dupke's Bonham-esque drum solo, Down In The Bottom {complete w/ an appearance from Mr. Bud Weiser!!}, and the finale of Treat Me Right!! There were obviously a few tunes I just don't know [the titles of] but were KILLER nonetheless!!! The band was as tight as ever and louder than ever!!! My ears are still ringing!! Between sets I had a chance to catch up with Mike Dupke as well as show all the guys my new Eric Sardinas tattoo, which everyone was impressed with to the extent Eric demanded pics be taken of it. It is still a work in progress, having already spent 3 1/2 hours in "the chair." I can't wait to finish it up before the guys' next show here in Kansas! The artwork was done by Art @ Fantasy Graphics in Hays Kansas {107 West 6th, Hays Kansas, 67601 & 785-625-2626}!! Can't wait for the next show… off to bed then up to get all the pictures sent in before Tammy sends the National Guard after me!!! Once again, MANY THANKS to Eric, Paul, and especially Mike for being as gracious as ever; and to my friends Bob & Crystal for accompanying me to the show, and for all their friendship during the last crazy {slight understatement!!} six months!!

Cheers,

Justin Crafton
