In what I hope is a precedent-setting first for the band, everyone showed up for loadup on time. I'd spent a while beforehand making sure everything was packed up properly, as I am wont to do, so loading was just a case of haul it up the stairs and heave it in the Forester. And miraculously, everything fit just fine with even some room to spare ( ( Read more... )

>>There were people slow-dancing to "Return", which was entirely surreal.

So you did see that. Given how brutal the lights are on that stage I assumed you couldn't.

I almost missed it. But I looked down and I'm lie "wait...are...are those people slow dancing?"

It helped that they were wearing white.

BV - well, Skot thinks they had problems but I didn't hear any. They played a short but energetic set. I got a kick out of Chris on the drums. Dude really tears into those. It's awesome.

Thanks, Eric. It's only my 2nd show on drums (and 10+ years since last having a kit), so I like to have some fun if I'm going to be playing a gig. All of the proper technique I try to use at home (Moeller method, etc) goes out the window when I get on a stage, haha.

Playing the dholak live is harder than it was in practice. I don't know why that is. I may or may not continue to do that. I do know I smacked the ever-living crap out of my hands during "Triangular" when I missed the drumhead and hit my knuckle on the bolt-arm.

That smarts! I did the same thing on my snare rim last week.

Damnit! Youse guys play out so infrequently and I had Family Obligations last weekend!

Now that we've field-tested the new lineup, I hope to book more shows after the holidays. It's been infrequent this year due to re-works and the general pressure of trying to finish an album.

Don't think for a minute that facts alone can assuage my Null Device-missing angst! :-)
