THE SHOW - Day 10

This is another show I'm not going to want to write a lot about. Few people came, except for Dave Stout's friend Janna who brought her friends. That was nice of her. Then we had an audience who wasn't a part of the show, so we started. Trapdoor was up first. Things went pretty well, but it's so weird playing to a huge room with only 9 people scattered in it. Not to mention, it was really hard for the strings to hear themselves, and you guys know how that goes.

The Balmorhea set was the same. All I heard was the guitar amp near my ear. It was no one's fault, just what happens when you have to use a random PA for your sound that doesn't have enough inputs. I think we all felt that that set was kind of off. So, the bad news was that hardly anyone was there. But the good news, was that hardly anyone heard the off night. Ok, this is entirely too long. Human Bell played and was awesome. That warehouse was crazy cold, so we gathered by the clacking heating pipes for warmth. Aftewards, we walked all our stuff down 5 flights of stairs. The elevator decided to break. After loading up the cars, I jumped in the Trapdoor car and we stayed the night with Dave's friends who had our beds all ready for us when we walked in. So nice. We slept well, ate breakfast in the morn, and then left for New York City. I'm currently writing you from some highway, maybe in Jersey. Who knows. Anyway, New York! I'm excited!
