Flight 237 - Delayed
Oct. 4th, 2009 01:06 pmAm already dead.
Last night... Technical problems galore. Injured my foot, was balanced on the end of the apron with my toes off the edge and something in the bottom of my left foot spasmed. Hurts and is throwing off my stride, look like I'm limping. Keeps wanting to cramp up.
Keyboard problems, damn thing never worked at all last night, ended up just shitcanning it. Don't even know what the problem was, it worked at check but failed hard live. Had a Gibson cut out on us as well, bad cable probably, made the guitarist use his Charvel the whole night. Had the tone of limp spaghetti. I had a Charvel once myself, hated it. That guitarist was going through JCM900's, and the setup was eyebrow raising. Didn't plug him in for the jam bit at the end, don't think anyone even noticed. Had a big spaghetti monster as well, but a little bit of Queen keeps the crowd going.
Some good parts. The singer for Alecstar (whom I've only talked to email) was a sweetheart, cross between Kevin Cronin and Jon Waite. Kinda cute in that used to be hot way. Bassist Jack was a goofball, very reminiscent of Alex Lifeson. Crowded in the dressing room though. Got handed a bunch of swag, haven't even really looked at it yet. Think there's some NOS 45's in there somewhere. Cool.
M&G was scary, the venue dumped everyone - band, crew, & floor - into the lobby and said goodnight. Was... unusual to say the least. Chaos. Merch was being ripped down as people were leaving, trying to buy stuff on the way out. It's not like either band was going to the next gig, they were going back home. No rush. Meanwhile Brigitte is standing there with my luggage waving me over and physically pushing me from the venue. Nothing but love, I swear. Flight was delayed anyway due to fog, so I don't know why I hurried so much.
Had to get a cab to the venue for $50. Bloody things are getting out of hand. Feels like home though, lots of big hugs and Kate shared her chocolate. She's not feeling well, gets bad carsick. Bussick as it were. Gonna let her sleep in the front lounge probably. Will be my first time working with some of the new tracks, I hope I remember my cues.
