The Scene



I wanted to post this in order to push the fund raiser info down, since it has passed.

Weird show weekend!

So we played that fund raiser. I don't feel like I got my share of wine, but I was busy playing music. I sat my glass down and forgot where I put it.

I was surprised to see some of my peeps at the event. That was nice. In my head, I kept on imagining our performance would be graced by an old 50-something couple dancing in front of us, where the dude would twirl his lady around in a drunken stupor like we were mumbo gumbo or something. Instead, it was just a bunch of kids...and by kids, I mean two year olds.

The next night we played another show. It was free and I didn't know much about it, so I didn't publicize it. Here is the story: There are a couple dudes in town planning on opening up an all ages venue on R street called VOX. Both the guys I met who were in charge seemed real nice, so I hope everything goes smoothly for them. Anyhow, the guys opening VOX are putting on free shows once a month at various locations to promote the venue and get people on their mailing list, and that's what the gig was all about. It was at that Eastern Star Temple across the street from Sutter's fort. I always wanted to see what it looked like inside, even though it seemed like kind of a weird place to play. It was like playing at a church or something. Again, we played for the kids, and by kids, I mean 5 year olds? Major props to Anna, who brought us pizza, and ultra major shout out to Guphy for stocking up a cooler full of ice cold brews in the back of her pickup for the curb-side after-party!

Does the picture at the top of this post imply that I think the music scene is lying in a coffin? No. I just hate pandas. Fuckin' pandas.
