Doc Watson's - 8/25/2003

Hey Ya,

Today marks 19 years since the first Fat City Reprise show. I was 20 years old, it was a Monday night at Doc Watson's - a place that no longer exists. We opened for a band called Hilliard who much like Fat City Reprise and Doc Watson's, no longer exists. 

It's crazy to look back to this time period because it feels like it was yesterday and also feels like it was in another lifetime. I remember being super excited, we rehearsed from January until August trying to make sure we came out swinging. I don't think Cowgirl existed yet, the set list would have been around 20 minutes and included She Said, Step In Take Time, Caution, maybe 57, maybe 10/6. 

Some things never change though. At that time, all I wanted to do was play guitar and that's the same. We may all be spread out in the world doing different things in different places but that one thing remains, we just wanna make some damn noise. 

Thanks as always to the Fatheads who supported us, you'll never know how much we appreciate you giving us the best lives ever,

I'm old,
Nick
