Show Journal 2000-12-07
Dammit … this is two shows in a row with absolutely no promotion from the club. We had this show booked 2 months ago and they didn’t run one single ad in the paper. The promoter is a nice enough guy (and a good guitar player) but he’s gotta be one of the most absent minded promoters in town. Since there were no ads, no flyers and the headlining band cancelled yesterday I guess it’s no surprise that only 5 people came out tonight. After the first band started the bartender actually asked if we wanted to go home instead of playing? Shouldn’t he have asked us this before we loaded in? I can think of a dozen things I’d rather do than move 500 pounds of crap up and down a set of stairs in 30 degree weather. Despite the typical Tonic Lounge bullshit the show was ok. I thought we were pretty tight until Justin broke a string and then proceeded to break the world’s record for seeing how many times you can say ‘fuck’ in a 5 minute period. Eventually we got back on track and finished off the set without incident. In fact our set was topped off by Jim’s harmonica rendition of “I’ve got the 5 people came to our show blues.” Seriously though, thanks to the 5 of you who did stick around and also thanks to the Tonic for finally spelling our name correctly on the marquee.
