invocation of nehek: so.. all good things must at some point come to an end. for ION, the canery sang and this is it. the last huge show to end all shows. they did it in major style too, inviting everyone that has had anything to do with the band back to participate in the show. when they started off, it was the new line up. Playing a couple songs new songs (from the 2006 demo). but after that, all hell broke loose lineup wise. by the end, 2 drummers (Tom/Eliot), 3 bassists (Tim/Brendan/Evan), 3 singers (Matt/Rob/Lou) all switched up while Steve and Robb Cyr stayed put on guitars. they played through the biggest set list they have every played live and the fans, some of whom have grown up on ION, sang along, piling up on each other. As their gift to everyone there, to finish it all off, they ended with My Gift to Liars, in the middle of which, all 200 people in that building yelled in unison something about being true. and there, it ended. as you looked around, it was like the last episode in any great sitcomm (I was picturing growing pains), hugs hugs hugs, and there were many many wet-eyes and runny mascara (1/2 of which was probably on the dudes). Since I am one of the people with a very interesting perspective on this band, I will miss seeing them. I know as they ended, that for most of the members, this will probably be one of the last times I get the chance to see them... er.. that is until the reunion show in 2011 in skips basement. just watch out for the kitty poop while you pull your hover car in.
