& Chubby's 10-9-09
I
am amazed at this place because it is always packed and I see new
faces every time we play here... I got there at my regular time and
it was just the dinner crowd so it was a little slow but I think most
people know by now that we start here around 10. We got a good sound
check around 9:15 and then just chilled until it was time to hit the
stage. I met some cool people who want us to play their fund-raiser
and they had a bunch of hot ladies in their group that were dancing
all night! Again tonight was a great night and there were lots of
people celebrating birthdays, etc. Let's just get to the scores:
Load
in/out: 7 – Got a spot up front since it was the dinner crowd when
I got here.
Ease
of putting up Backdrop: 8- push pins but you need long ones because
the wall has carpet.
Sound:
9 -Mike had it pumping!
Crowd
(attendance): 10 -Chubby was happy!
Crowd
(enthusiasm): 10- the dance floor was full all three sets!
Our
Performance: 10-we rocked tonight!
Backstage:
8- the office!
Food
afterward: 9-I had Roast Beef Sandwiches for the band from an event
at work!
Pay
afterward: 10-Thanks Danny!

The
Cellar 10-10-09
I
had a tough time just making it to the gig tonight as I only had 3 ½
hours of sleep and I was dosing off on the way to the show...the 1 ½
drive is the worst part of this gig but when I first started this
band, that would have been a short drive as we use to play in
Pittsburgh every Wednesday, and Buffalo every Saturday! The last time
we were here they were still doing construction upstairs, so the
Cellar was a little thrashed and saw dust was falling from the
ceiling while we were playing, but it was all finished and the place
looked great! They even fixed up the backstage with tables and chairs
and Jamie had the full concert rig in the house. Here are the scores:
Load
in/out: 7 – just a long trip back and forth!
Ease
of putting up Backdrop: 10- very easy and Tim helped!
Sound:
9 -Jamie had it at concert level!
Crowd
(attendance): 10 -Slammed with Hotties!
Crowd
(enthusiasm): 10- Girls dancing on the stage!
Our
Performance: 9-2 little miscues but overall great!
Backstage:
9.5- much better!
Food
afterward: 8-Mountain Dew, Chips, cookies and sunflower seeds to keep
my self awake!
Pay
afterward: 6-Larry wasn't there so I had to wait for Tim to come down
and that meant I didn't leave until almost 3:00am!

Cellar date Nov. 21rst!
