Saw Doctors Concert


A group of TFK members and I went to the Nokia Theater on Saturday night to see The Saw Doctors perform. They are the band that graciously allowed us to use their inspiring song "To Win Just Once" for our charity's videos. So I encouraged team members to get tickets and come to the show, to help pay them back for their generosity.

A good sized group showed up, myself and 13 others. Plus we made a couple of new friends while there, along with a few enemies (some rude girls that tried to stand in front of us after we had already staked out some prime real estate - I got rid of most of them, but sadly one particularly scary one lingered for the whole show). The band played many of their classic tunes including "To Win Just Once" and "Hay Wrap" (the song "The Beer Mile" video is set to). The band gave an impressive performance, especially considering their equipment did not make the trip down from Buffalo, after the massive snowstorm of 2 nights before. They played with instruments borrowed from the opening act and still did an amazing job. A good time was had by all!

Thanks to all that came out!
