Show Journal 2005-05-19

It’s been a while since we played at a skate park. Every time we book one I think about a particularly miserable show we had in Salt Lake City a few years ago where we performed to about a dozen people in a warehouse about the size of a football field. Thankfully the turnout tonight was a little better. The setup was a little weird because the bands were on top of one ramp and the “crowd” was out across an open space on top of another ramp. It definitely felt odd playing with people so far away so we asked people to come up front. Eventually a few people wandered up onto the ramp right in front of us and that’s when the show started to get fun. We had a pretty good time but really I’m just thankful that the strobe light didn’t give me a seizure. For a minute there I honestly thought the sound guy was trying to find my frequency. Big thanks to F Capone and PB Army for the fun night. We are also give thanks to the gods of gravity for ensuring that no injuries occurred when we attempted to skate on the open ramps.
