We headed over to Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale last night to catch the Street Dogs open for Social D.

Joel had called us the night before to tell us our names were on the Crosscheck label list, but when we arrived they couldn't find us. The guy looked and looked and kept apologizing, he was really helpful in an old-fashioned and very rare kind of way (most folks at bigger clubs don't give a shit). So he told us to wait while he got the tour manager for the Street Dogs.

So we wait and wait. The guy runs by us frantically a couple of times and say, "Sorry guys, I'm still lookin' for him."

He couldn't find him. Instead, who walks out but Mike McColgan in a Flogging Molly soccer shirt. Matt explains that it was Joel who tried to arrange this, and Mike goes,"Joel? Cool! OK, you guys are fine."

So there it was. They were great of course. The Social D crowd tends to be a little watered down, not too many people are aware of the Dogs or who Mike is, so there was a teeny pit and a small crowd at the stage. Some Boston kids were there in Celtics and DKM attire shaking their fists in the air.

Mike is the nice guy you expect a punk rock fireman from the glory days of DKM who sings the anthem at Red Sox games to be.
