Bert's fuckin' awesome. They did the impromptu free show at St. Andrew's in the middle of the day with less than five hours' warning. Announced it on the radio, I called in sick to work, and FLEW downtown. The show kicked ass. I've seen a lot of live clips from Leno or Conan or something, and they just weren't very good, but that show was rock solid. And they said it was the LAST show that they were playing anything off of the first CD, because the new one had just been released. So it was really awesome.
Anyway, anyone who bought a CD got to get in first, and got to chill with the band afterward. Bert's just a regular guy. He hung out, joked around, was really friendly. Totally didn't treat me any different even though I was dressed in khaki dockers, a silk button-down shirt, and a brown leather tailored jacket. I felt SO out of place, but I was on my way to work when I heard it on the radio. XD
