Belly Up

Topic: Belly Up

Belly Up in Solano Beach is a nice place. We were treated nicely, and
the crowd that was there was very enthusiastic. There were dancers
for every song. Playing on Mondays, from my experience, isn't always
easy, but I guess we got about 100 people there tonight.

Tomorrow's the long drive to Santa Cruz, about 7+ hours. I think the
weather is going to change, probably starting to rain mid-afternoon or
so.

It's been an interesting if not hard trip: playing 5 dates in a row is
unusual for BeauSoleil. I think tonight we were on auto pilot and
played very well, considering how tired we all are. I'm looking
forward to a 'day off' in the van!

I see that the Dirty Dozens are now following my tweets. Amazing
thing this technology thing.

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 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.

Departure/Feb 13, 2009

Date: February 13, 2009 10:39 AM Topic: Departure/Feb 13, 2009 Today's departure day. It's a huge itinerary, starting in St. Paul, MN and ending up in Blacksburg, VA. Because of scheduling problems, the band is staying out on the road for the duration, instead of returning home for a day at at time. My travel started well but hit a snag in Houston, which was fogged in. ATC had my flight circle Houston for over an hour, so I missed my connection. I was rescheduled for a 9pm flight to MSP, a 5 1/2 hour layover. I did reach the St. Paul Hotel around midnight. Pooped, I went to sleep shortly thereafter.
