Well, our mini-tour is over. We played with some fabulous bands and were applauded by some fabulous fans. Thursday kicked off with a stellar performance by San Francisco’s Callow, followed closely (but perhaps not closely enough) by our short set. 300 Pounds, who actually braved snow over highway 17 from Santa Cruz, closed the evening to a waning crowd. As usual, the Beale Street Bar was a cool place to play. Tony takes good care of us and is always open to having new bands.

We left work a little early on Friday, jammed the car full of gear, and slogged through pouring rain (which Elliot compared to almost a midwest storm) and made it to the Boardwalk Bowl in the nick of time. It turned out that there was some sort of a mix-up with the order of the bands (we and one other band thought we were going first, told all our friends, etc.). We were cool and accommodating and let them play first, which meant that we were last. Our previous experiences playing last have been pretty unfortunate (people come for the band they know, then leave, leaving the last band with only their closest friends and a bartender). But, these people were so cool! Fans of all three bands (including our own) stuck around for the whole thing. Thanks to those fans who supported us in our longest venture from San Francisco to date. It would have been miserable without you. Anyway, Friday was good fun, and we plan on going back to the Boardwalk Bowl again soon. The sound guy even recorded the whole thing, and we took some video, so look for a nice, professional music video soon!
