Final Fiesta Debrief

Quote for the Show: "The music is hurting someone's hearing aid." Indeed it IS too loud...and everyone is too old. Frankly, the levels seemed fine to us in the band, though...so who knows what that means.
Thought for the Show #1: Never ask someone who isn't a musician and doesn't understand a basic minimum about live music sound to check your sound levels.
Thought for the Show #2: People with free unlimited beer and sunshine don't give a shit about live music. If you want to feel the love, play at a marathon.
Equation for the Show: 7+ drinks < 3hours =" 0.16"> bad
Lesson for the Show: Always wear your bike helmet when riding.
Highlight of Show:Michael breaking down Queen's Bicycle Race in the middle of Sex Bomb and Jon and Dar joining in spontaneously singing "bicycle! bicycle! bicycle!" without prior discussion or rehearsal.


What the future holds:
Not sure when the next show will be...but we're working on getting in at Dry Bean and King Club and returning to The Local Tavern...all this summer. Michael is off to Hawaii until mid-June...so until then...Aloha.

Shows

Let's all hold hands and pray to the great and good folks over at The King Club for a gig in late June or in July. Ohhhmmmm. Maybe if all of us Lollards put shot glasses under our pillows before we go to bed, the Gig Fairy will leave us a show.

Until then, it's beer and tunes in the park:

Place: Vilas Park Shelter, Madison (on the shores of lovely Lake Wingra)
Date: Friday, May 18th
Time: 4-7pm (music starts at 5pm). Two solid 45 minute sets of pure rock...oh, and Tonight Together too
Cover: Free to those who register for Bike to Work Week at www.bfw.org or on site (registration is free)
What: Besides muzak and hundreds of cool people...free beer and pizza

A Long Stretch

Circumstance will have prevented us kids from gathering for music and liquor for 19 solid days when we get together for practice on May 14th. Possibly the longest stretch apart since we formed late last summer.

It seems like an eternity.

Maybe we'll make up for it by playing together three days that week.

Free Beer
