Clocks

So interesting weekend...the ones with shows always are. Last night began at the Rice Cafe, across from the C Note. Alex Tom and I had a quick dinner, before ducking into the restroom to through on some makeup for the show. We were going for ghoulish, but from what people tell me we got closer to Kiss. Oh well.

The show was great. A last minute scratch from the drummer necessitated a replacement, and my new friend Patrick Hernly performed amazingly well, seeing as how we'd never rehearsed, he heard the songs for the first time less than 24 hours before the show, and he played a 3 hour concert earlier in the evening. Nice work Patrick.

The stunt we planned with the pumpkin amp didn't go off. Apparently it had rotted out and was useless. Total bummer, and unfortunately that little errand made Ben and Pete late for dinner, and eventually led to Ben getting to the show late. But, he recovered nicely, and really played some great guitar.

After the show we hung out at the Note for a while, talking to the bartenders and dancing. Which, technically is illegal in the C Note, since they don't have a cabaret license. But I don't think anyone was going to complain, of the 6 people left in the bar. Late night, as the jukebox ran out of tunes, I performed a shot acoustic set in the bar for the people left, playing "Michael O'Brien", a new song about my godfather and great uncle of the same name.

Then we turned the clocks back...
