Ball and Chain

Spider Kelly's traditional last song of the evening, involving multiple instrument switch-a-roos and Dawn almost always sang.

When it closed out the night at Dawnapalooza, I closed my eyes and could see and hear her up there singing, a truly bittersweet moment.

Typical Bar Accessories

We were probably the only people who routinely took a trip to Party City in preparation for the bar:

Beach Party 2000

One of our many theme nights at the Phyrst:  "Beach Party 2000".

We used our kazoos as an implement to drink beer out of our pitchers:

as well as drank directly out of the pitchers with our straws (that actually wasn't specific to Beach Party 2000, that was pretty much every night at the Phyrst):

Whenever we had a theme night at the bar, we went all out.  This particular night we brought a ton of leis (which of course ended up all over Spider Kelly and half the bar patrons), drink umbrellas, plastic musical instruments, etc.

Ian:

Truck Drivin' Man

Another Spider Kelly favorite.  Only in typical Spider Kelly fashion, the words got changed to involve "Hamburger Dawn", a tribute to Danville, and eventually the entire title became "Drunk Drivin' Man".

I Can't Wait

My favorite song Spider Kelly played was "Can't Hardly Wait" by The Replacements.  It always came towards the end of the night.  And Dawn and I always drank and danced to it together, always at the front of the stage.  I can't hear this song without feeling like she should be next to me.
