We arrived around 2:45 and Michael and Mitchell went straight to the workshop. The rest of us set up the equipment. We sound checked around 4:30 or so and then waited for dinner to arrive. After dinner, we decided to stay at the venue until showtime, which was at 7:30. The event was huge, as this was the Center's fundraiser, all with an after show dance with drinks and finger foods. It was all good, and hopefully we'll be able to come back to Carrollton, GA to perform again. It's always great to be invited to new venues.

It was a sold out show at the Cedar. Though there wasn't much room for dancing, the crowd was receptive and interested. It's always mice to sell out a venue two times in a row; the Twin Cities have always been a good venue for the band. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]

The venue, SPACE, was great and we were treated very well by the staff and crew (which is most of the time!). The venue is actually a restaurant and a recording studio and a performance space all in one. Very interesting. We played two sets, starting at 10:30. The second set began around 11:45 and we all rang in the New Year with champagne. We finished up around 12:55, and believe me, on account of the length of the day, we were all ready to get to the hotel to crash. Happy New Year!
