The Living Rockumentary

Here's my gig diary entry for Dec. 21. I'll post the pictures when I get a few other diaries from you guys.

WRSI is playing all Christmas music today, which I suppose is fitting since it's Christmas Day 2002. I'm thinking back to our show on the 21st. We were excited because it was taking place on the Winter Solstice, we kept insisting that since the days would from then on be getting longer that the winter season was not really as daunting as we had thought.

That line of thinking is currently being buried beneath a foot of snow outside my window.

When I first arrived at Harry's I found that Bruce had decided not to do sound for us and Chris was there instead. But, but, but, Bruce is our sound guy. Oh well. So, we started setting up. The Fawns were going on first but since we were using almost all the same equipment, we set up Ken's keyboards right away.

The Fawns show went pretty well. Lesa was using her new amp and I was using my new reverb pedal. The finale was a version of the Waitresses' Christmas Wrapping. Lesa on vocals, Rob on drums, Tony and myself on guitar, Ken on keyboard, Max on bass, and brian on sax. It was really fun.

The SFTD show seemed to go pretty well, too. Photobooth was debuted and it sounded great. people were singing along, which is amazing for a debut of a song. Yee. There were two ladies dancing during One Lady Dancing. The activity pages were a huge success, I can't wait until I get my scanner set up so I can show you all the great drawings that people are making.

Shelley Winters played last and though the crowd thinned somewhat they put on another inspired performance.

Nobody bought any cds or t-shirts.
