Dude, how long is the show?

Adam said...

4 hours: 9p to 1a.

It is very unlikely I'll get through all these songs...

Stephanie said...

A four-hour show? That's awesome. I'll see what I can do about being in town that weekend. If you sing Gangsta's Paradise and I miss it, I'll never forgive myself.
