This show made us new friends and fans, and provided a second chance to those who missed our previous weekend's triumph...

27th Lecture - "Pinkerton For President" Saturday night, November 11th, 2000 - The Howlin' Wolf Opening acts: Villa Diodati and Antarctica vs. The World photos by ? video by Jim Fairchild Songs: Bow 2 Me / I Scream / So Confuse / It's Morally Wrong / Black Plague / Android Woman / Brain Wrap / Bite Me / Death to the Angel of Death / M.I.L.K. / March of the Skeletons / All I Wanna Do Is You / Science Party / LoBoToMy / Now You're a Man Pinkerton's campaign for president, announced four days after the election, necessitated a trip back in time to the year 1999 (a trick the Democrats and Republicans have not yet figured out how to do - thank C.O.G.) Biggest crowd yet, thanks to heavy promotion and good word of mouth. A great night despite many small technical hitches.

'Free Brains & Dead Bodies' CD completed November 2000 26th Lecture - "C.O.G. vs. the Gutterpunks" Monday night, August 21st, 2000 - The House of Blues (Parish Room) Opening for the Bullies video (fixed) Songs: Bow 2 Me / M.I.L.K. / March of the Skeletons / Bite Me / I Scream / Death to the Angel of Death / It's Morally Wrong Efforts by the Consortium of Genius to rid itself of the gutterpunks landed them in hot water with both Death and the Evil One... which in turn landed Pinkerton and Pentatonic in HELL!

'C.O.G.: Dangerous Geniuses At Large!' video completed June 2000 25th Lecture - "C.O.G. vs. Fil-Bot" Friday night, May 12th, 2000 - The Howlin' Wolf Opening for Supagroup photos by Steve Leblanc video by Jude Oliver Songs: Bow 2 Me / It's Morally Wrong / Science Party / Android Woman / March of the Skeletons / LoBoToMy / Bite Me / I Scream / Death to the Angel of Death / Now You're a Man / Green Slime An almost flawless performance by Filbert left Pinkerton & Pentatonic scratching their heads... until it was revealed that Filbert had substituted an android in his place and stayed at the lab to play Dungeons and Dragons and watch Star Trek! We took care of that little problem with the transporter...

Even Sean Yseult, bassist for White Zombie, was impressed but proved resistant to Filbert's attempts to ask her out.

23rd Lecture - "The Miseducation of Filbert Snodgrass" Saturday night, November 13th, 1999 - The Howlin' Wolf Opening acts: Bill Dykes and friends (Music & Comedy Night) video by Chris Enyart Songs: Bow 2 Me / Android Woman / All I Wanna Do Is You / Free Bird / So Confuse / LoBoToMy / Brain Wrap / Green Slime / Black Plague / I Scream / M.I.L.K. / Bite Me / It's Morally Wrong / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death / Filbert's Solo (Filbert vs. Yngwie Flattstein) / Science Party Best show yet... our musical science comedy steamrolled the standup comedy! Unbelievably good performaces and a night to remember.

Special Appearance Sunday night, October 31st, 1999 Gallier Hall Dark Cotillion Goth Party Song: Bite Me Brief appearance following Igor Kitty was intended to annoy goth people and promote our show on the 13th. Strangely, several goths didn't get it at first and enjoyed the music... until they caught the lyrics! 22nd Lecture - "First Annual Filbert Snodgrass Celebrity Marathon Telethon" Sunday night, September 5th, 1999 - The Howlin' Wolf MDA Benefit video by Greg and Jude Oliver Songs: Brain Wrap / LoBoToMy / Bow 2 Me / Death to the Angel of Death / Android Woman / M.I.L.K. / March of the Skeletons / Lovekill / Science Party / Bite Me Short, tight set, extended unexpectedly by two songs... and we got on the news!

19th Lecture - "C.O.G. vs. Igor Kitty" Friday night, May 14th, 1999 - Jimmy's Music Club Opening for Falling Janus no photos, video by Jeannine Flores. Songs: Bow 2 Me / M.I.L.K. / March of the Skeletons / LoBoToMy / Brain Wrap / Science Party / Bite Me / It's Morally Wrong / Death to the Angel of Death / Black Plague A one night conquest of the evil world of Goth.

Incredible, flawless show... premiere of Dr. A. Pentatonic

17th Lecture Friday night, October 2nd, 1998 - Jimmy's Music Club Opening for Igor Kitty photos, video Songs: Science Party / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Brain Wrap / All I Wanna Do Is You Potentially strong show mangled by the sudden unexpected absence of Dr. Wissenschaft. Also featured an early unexpected appearance by Dr. A. Pentatonic! Dr. Wissenschaft's last show.

16th Lecture - "The World's Largest Guitar" Thursday night, September 3rd, 1998 - DragonCon ' 98 photos by Jeannine Floresfixed video Songs: Science Party / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Brain Wrap / All I Wanna Do Is You / So Confuse / Green Slime / M.I.L.K. / LoBoToMy / It's Morally Wrong / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death/Die Barney Die Dr. Pinkerton attempts to create the loudest sound in the universe by crashing an alien spaceship into the World's Largest Guitar, constructed in orbit around Saturn. Excellent show delivered to an understandably dazed and confused Atlanta audience.

Though cut short by one song, this was probably the best lecture delivered to date by the C.O.G.

A custom script provided many hilarious moments as Dr. Pinkerton and the Consortium continued to distrupt the festival with horrible experiments and music. This show was our test bed for future appearances on larger stages.

13th Lecture Friday night, March 20th, 1998 - Movie Pitchers Opening act: Igor Kitty no photos, no video (thank Gawd!) Songs: Science Party / Dance or Die / All I Wanna Do Is You (full version) / So Confuse / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Hey You / Brain Wrap / Free Bird / LoBoToMy / Green Slime / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death Numerous technical problems caused show, which began extrememly late, to lurch to a halt several times. In the end, though, many in the crowd said it was their favorite show, probably due to many special new bits including the return of Dr. Smerlington, who engaged in a tense Kung Fu battle with Filbert Snodgrass for bass supremacy!

12th Lecture - "Spice-World Must Be Destroyed!" Saturday night, February 7th, 1998 - Checkpoint Charlie's Opening act: Lunch photos, no video Songs: Science Party / Dance or Die / All I Wanna Do Is You (full version) / So Confuse / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Hey You / Brain Wrap / Free Bird / LoBoToMy / Green Slime / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death / Rabbid A very good night, begun by destroying Spice World!

Despite lack of video, a strong night, with great performances all around, and good crowd response, particularly to the new material. Set it and forget it mix, contributing to feedback problems. We lost money due to computer damage and parking tickets, but in the end, nobody seemed to mind.

10th Lecture Friday night, October 17th, 1997 - The Audubon Tavern Opening act: Igor Kitty photos by Amy, no video Songs: Ode on a Mass Spectrometer / Lovekill / Dance or Die / All I Wanna Do Is You / So Confuse / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Hey You / Brain Wrap / Free Bird / LoBoToMy / March of the Skeletons Krazy night. Power problems early on, followed by problems with the club personnel later - the club's fey, German D.J. attempted to drown out our music, then halted the show - Filbert responded by kicking in the bastard's door! Nevertheless, we made more profit than at any previous show.

Songs: Ode on a Mass Spectrometer / Lovekill / Dance or Die / All I Wanna Do Is You / So Confuse / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Hey You / Brain Wrap / Free Bird / LoBoToMy / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death / Rabbid Even better performance than last time. It rained outside while we reigned inside. Even smaller crowd than last time. Mixed by Spike. First attempt to split the audio output feeds to main mixer into rhythm/synth-samples. As a consequence, samples were mixed in too low.

8th Lecture Wednesday night, August 20th, 1997 - Jimmy's Music Club Opening act: Six Demon Bag photos? handheld, high quality one-camera video by Alfred Richard Songs: Ode on a Mass Spectrometer / LoveKill / Dance or Die / All I Wanna Do Is You / So Confuse / Black Plague / Krazed Archer / Hey You / Brain Wrap / Free Bird / LoBoToMy / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death / Rabbid Very strong performances by all involved, well received by small but appreciative crowd.

3rd Lecture Friday night, November 8th, 1996 - Crystal Plantation Opening acts: Lunch, Kwazi Moto no photos, one camera handheld video Songs: Ode on a Mass Spectrometer / LoveKill / Dance or Die / Hey You / Brain Wrap / Free Bird / LoBoToMy / March of the Skeletons / Death to the Angel of Death Let into the venue real late, setup during Lunch and Kwazi Moto. Power failure during "Dance or Die." Small crowd but well received performance. Videotape came out really well. Show mixed by Mike Martin.

Can't believe we fit all that onto that little stage! Drumbot's first performance. Red stage light almost caught on fire. Dancing around pool table to "Brain Wrap." Strong, positive audience reaction to C.O.G. Show mixed by Mike Martin.
