The entire band had fun with the lingerie theme all evening. JY thanked everyone for contributing to their "underwear for the homeless" charity, and Tommy, after almost wiping out stepping on some item or other, said, "It's slippery up here! Can you see me trying to explain this to my insurance guy? 'There were panties everywhere and I just fell!'" Maybe he could just tell his insurance guy what he told us: "It's raining underwear!"

Todd, in addition to getting plenty of bras and panties hung all over his drum kit by the other guys, picked up a pair of hot pink panties (courtesy of Dr. Karen) when he was out front and wore them on his head back to his seat! Lawrence caught Dr. Karen's huge black bra (I do mean huge - size 42 I) and wore it around for a while before tossing it at JY. When JY tried to get it out of his way, it caught in his hair! It must be quite challenging to try to play a guitar solo while laughing and shaking your head like a cat trying to lose a piece of scotch tape, but that's what JY was doing! Lawrence finally controlled his own laughter long enough to come over and detach it!

The lingerie shower didn't completely stop after the initial deluge either. Have you ever seen the Star Trek episode with the tribbles, where Captain Kirk opens the storage compartment and is inundated by tribbles, but for the next few minutes a few more trickle out here and there? That's what this made me think of. After the first avalanche of underwear, one by one more pieces kept popping up throughout the night! During the first chorus of "Fooling Yourself," Tommy was in front of me, and right as he sang "take your best shot," Karen did, from the other side of the stage, and a pair of leopard skin panties flew over and planted themselves firmly on the headstock of his guitar! He managed to keep going, but when he got back to that line next time through, he did laugh!
