Plaza Theatre

Topic: Plaza Theatre

The Plaza Theater was a nice venue. We had a decent crowd for our
first ever appearance in Orlando, outside of a convention.

Though it's hard to fly on the day of a show, it was the best and most
economical way to go about it. Fortunately we didn't have to leave
early the next day!

May 16, 2009 11:01 PM: Long day as usual.

I looked at the check from last night and the moron didn't write out
the correct amount! So we had lunch at a Viet Rest while waiting for
Chris to bring the check. Jimmy had a meltdown over being treated
badly yesterday. If only he understood, like Mitchell, that
responsibility has a lot to do with your actions on the road. You
cannot bring what's home along (like your problems and your women) and
expect to be treated as if you are one of the group. Sometimes your
actions interfere with your judgement, and considering how hard it is
to travel, that is just not acceptable. However, no one said anything
to him. He should, however, get his internet up and running and take
that responsibility. He also melted down over not having enough money
to buy a headphone extension today, though he sat at the bar and paid
for beers. This shit doesn't go far with me.

It rained at the gig tonight, and it was bad! But we got to play and
we were paid. Afterwards we ate in the hotel restaurant and had a
couple beers.

Now I have to wake up at 5:30 am.

The Art Center, Carrboro, NC

Date: August 9, 2009 11:28 AM Topic: The Art Center, Carrboro, NC It was another trip to the Art Center in Carrboro. It's always been a good venue for the group, and this time was no different. Lots of tickets were sold and I think the show was close to a sell out. Instead of playing two sets, which would have increased our merchandise sales, we opted for one long set, one very long set, 2 hours worth. Sometimes I think making decisions like playing a long set isn't always a good idea. It's hard to perform that long, but I do know that it's sets like that which go into the record books. I don't think anyone had a bad time. I do think we wore out the audience, however.

Hard day

The Ark gig went well. Good crowd & merch sales. We passed by Elderly Instruments in Lansing on the way to Grand Rapids. Then we hit the road, arriving at the hotel at 3:30. We left for a radio interview/performance at 4:15 at WYCE. After doing 2 songs, we went to the venue, the Ladies Literary Club. Nice place, nice renovation. The last time we played there was April 19, 1997. Packing for the flight to MSP.

The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, 2/9/18

We played the Turning Point on Friday, 2/9.  If you’re not familiar with the place, it’s downstairs from a restaurant, housed in a rather small bar.  John McAvoy, the owner, is quite a character, and he always treats us great.  The place holds 78 max, and I believe there were 85 there! Some day I’d like to see what Piermont looks like in the daylight! We’ve never been able do that.   The audience was very receptive, no dancing allowed (no room), and we played a pretty good ‘sit down set.’ We look forward to our next appearance there!
