Guy Alone

This song makes me want to flip a car over and set it on fire"
-Brett Calabrese, 3/8/2012

The first "Guy Alone" set of 2012 was everything you'd expect from an acoustic Boru's show: extended loop jams, lots of guest appearances, and general debauchery from the regulars.
Needless to say, it was another Thursday night success.

  1. Presumably Modeen @ 4:28 of "Easy Tiger:" "Fuck your iPhone, Chris."

    This is the type of exchange I miss. Gotta try to make it out to the Dirty on March 22.

    P.S. Thanks for bringing you "iPhone," Chris.

  2. Your presumption is accurate. He posed for the camera for the first few minutes before promptly telling me "fuck your iPhone". Modeen=obvious android enthusiast.
