Frances Michelle Lopez:
So you see, I used to book these quarterly music shows at TS and they were pretty memorable. Stand-out memories include the the time when somehow it seemed like a good idea for a dozen or so people to put on blue face paint, pull their pants down, and take their shirts off. These people included John Martin, Sean [Bonnet*] and Ben [Gallaty], Ben Horowitz, Ian, and so on– pretty fantastic. Another good memory is of the first QC when we pretty much shut down a poorly attended Modified show– Fancy Pants and Peelander-Z showed up and jumped on the already 15 band lineup.
Too many memories to name. I loved playing with Jason Anderson, meeting so many great people, and yes, even getting massive headaches from the marathon shows I used to book. Also, booking bands like Cryptacize and Deer Tick way before anyone from the blogosphere ever cared about them.
Joe McManis:
My favorite night had to be the quarterly concern with peelander-z, and the first time that Kimya Dawson played, and she did that crazy group hug thing.

Getting married AND having my bebe shower at the TS. Those are two solid mamories I’ve got.
