  Improvising song after song, the Bandana Brothers (being a three piece band),played on like they knew what they were doing. They almost re-considered playing the invitational gig due to a recent run-in with the police and learning that the show was a benefit, raising money for a new K-9.

  Approaching the tent from stage right, Danimal fell down timber style from a head rush with the crowd watching the whole thing.
  "Zach, why'd you push me?" he asked. Zach walked him to a chair and let the situation cool before signing up to play. The managers of the open-mic were reluctant to put them on the list due to suspicions of extreme inebriation...
  waiting and waiting, putting acts on up until the end of the session. Zach and Danimal (little did the managers know) were friends/acquaintances of Ralston, who was to take the stage for the next event. The managers tried to put him on the stage next but he said, "Hey man, let them play!"
  The manager inquired to Zach, whether they would be able to perform, to which Zach said "Just get Danimal a chair and everything will be golden". They were reluctant all the way around but Danimal got his chair and the went on to perform Runaway Bride without a hitch. The crowd responded with much excitement, smiling and laughing at the humorous lines depicting a recent news story about a woman who faked her abduction trying to escape a wedding, the Jennifer Wilbanks story. It really was amazing to see them, and everyone forgot momentarily that they were "over-primed".
