Ellen and Dan welcome you to The Pint Size Lounge . (Photo: Scott Keck)

A capacity crowd (in this case, 60) greeted Dan Reich & Friends as they tore through all eleven songs on their "Bigger Is Better" CD. Making use of every square inch of the small stage, DR&F squeezed into a space about the size of an SUV cargo bay (drummer Joe Paulino had to be surgically removed afterwards) and flailed away for about 45 minutes to an enthusiastic audience of family, friends, supporters, well-wishers and neighborhood bar patrons. Although there was no cover charge, everyone agreed that DR&F gave the crowd its money's worth. Look for a triumphant return after the first of the year, and enjoy these photos from the Pint Size show.
