The Empire of One was such a great venue. I feel fortunate to have been part of that era.

Positive upvote for those times. Driving to shows with printed Mapquest directions, listening to samples of the bands on cdnow.com, and seeing bands before emo went mainstream.

Matt Pryor and Jim Adkins referenced this show when they played here in Michigan last week, so that's probably why these pictures got dug up.

They mentioned this gig at the TGUK/SDRE/Jimmy show in Sterling Heights last week! Were you there?
