Fireball XL5 Tenth Anniversary Extravaganza
November 24, 2000

See pictures from the show
See a copy of the certificate I got from the Garry Show.


It was everything you could hope for in a tenth anniversary show: good music, good talk, good friends, and of course CAKE!  I was very happy with the 5 hour Fireball XL5 Tenth anniversary Extravaganza. 

I of course have to thank Jayson, Derek, Sari, Peter, Shannon, Mark, and Cath for coming out to personally join in the celebration.  The show was designed to start in the recent past and then slowly work our way until the start of the 90s when my history on CKMS began.  Even though the show was 5 hours long I still didn't have enough time to play everything so there will probably be future sets picking up the remaining bits from this show.

And if you listen to one thing (which is probably more than most people will check out) the crazy version of the 10th anniversary theme when it skipped in the CD player at 112 minutes into the show.
