The gig went off awesomely!  Being a Sunday night in a small bar we expected a smallish crowd, but there were at least 100-120 people there, many of them obvious Stones fans.  Considering this was our first gig after just 3 rehearsals the two sets came together very well, and I wasn't the only band member who put extra effort into his costume - "Mick" had 3 costume changes, including the famous Uncle Sam top hat, "Charlie" also had a wig, and "Keef" was so comfortable in his costume that he wore it to the gig and sat around and relaxed in the bar while the support band played their set.  A guy from the support band shot a lot of video while were on, and there were a lot of people I didn't know who snapping pics, so hopefully there will be some evidence of my wig that I can post here some time.
Cheers

Congrats. I love hearing it went well. Here's hoping for a bright future for you and the wig.  

You're not going to get a Travis Bean bass, are you?  :mrgreen:

Nice pics Mark!  I do prefer the leggy blond in your other band though.  :)
