One Of The Most Memorable Moments:
About 2 years ago we decided to raise the stage, and in order to accommodate this we had to remove part of the drop ceiling which held about 50 bags of blow in insulation. We must of missed some, because during one of the shows part of this insulation fell down onto the band and crowd making people think that the roof was coming down. No one seemed to care and they keep on partying and dancing.
