THE GO BEFORE THE SHOW
- Looked for nickel slots. No such slots. Kept my nickels.
- Checked out the merchandise.
- Played the Go-Go trivia game. Ya... this is a real challenge.
- Listened to an assortment of pre-show music featuring female lead singers (Heart, Bondie) etc.
The girls took the stage at 8:15 with the music of Boys Watch the Girls Go By by the Bob Crewe Generation playing. Love that tune!
READY - SET - GO
At first there were a couple of technical malfunctions. For one thing, Charlotte's guitar amp was not plugged in. Oops! Later there would be a couple wardrobe malfunctions.

COOLEST JERK IN THE FAMILY
Some great moves from James Duke Mason
Before playing Our Lips Are Sealed the girls asked security to let the fans come forward and be close to the stage. Now we're talkin'!
Back out for the encore, the girls wheel Belinda back out - in a clothes hamper? Gina spins it around a bit. Dizzy.
HIGH NOTE
- No sloppy drunks in the audience.
- Fun banter between the girls.
- Appeared to be a lot of family and friends there.
- Great sound.
- Belinda's attractive and colorful top!
- No Beatnik Beat. Oh well. It as a bit warm in that room to beat out that one.
- Not much Gina at the mic this time.
- All in all - a very good show!
