On December 1, 2007 I came out of my shell to photograph Philo's CD Release Party. Surprisingly, it was the first time I had visited Skully's Music Diner.

The bands photographed here were the opening acts (Pets or Meat, Cordova, and For The Drive). This was the first time I had heard any of these bands. Of the three opening bands, Cordova (visiting from Pennsylvania) was most impressive to my ears.
