PR was the first act to start the night and the first to cope with sound distortion which plagued most of the acts. A weak rythym/lead and an overly-loud bass might have hampered PR's chances but lead singer Tom Steel's vocals and the band's timing led to a crowd pleasing early burst of rock 'n' roll. Perhaps it was when the band played their third song of the night, an original composition called "Walking Down The Line," that they played away any questions about ability. The band adopted a "noqualm" stage presence and played "Walking Down The Line," a song written for good vocal presentation, like tour veterans.

The third act of the night was moving enough to capture third prize and $15. Lilly Kayello, a Lebanese engineering student caught all eyes with ten minutes of belly dancing. With 11 years of experience under her belt, Kayello gave a polished performance. Every rotation, vibration and pulsation was beautifully coordinated with her choice of music. A pleasure to see but hard on the eyes. AFTER KAYELLO left, the crowd entertained themselves during the break while the sound crew prepared the stage for Rush Hour, a ten-member im p r u v i s a i lunai cuineuy troupe.
