Home. Ah home. It's so good to be home. Thank you SO SO SO much to everybody who came out to welcome us back!
Now, it's not that I was tired. I had plenty of time to rest for this show after our tour (plenty being a relative term) and I was AMPED! Especially, especially because we had our new BANNER! Yes, Stewart now has a banner. And a kick drum head. We're so dorky, I love it. :)
It's not that I was tired, but personally I was unprepared. Just because after getting home I just wanted to do a show where I didn't need to think or worry about anything. And Trash Bar was that show.
We get up on stage and eventually I get my guitar in tune, the set list drawn out, and Saysha and John were nice enough to adjust my amp for me. We kicked in with good ol' Without You and we were back with a vengence! It had been two months since we played New York and we brought it up a notch, I'd say.
The funny part was, right off the bat, at the very beginning of the first song, I think the first part of the first chorus when my lip touch the microphone I got zapped like you wouldn't believe. I don't know if you could tell from the audience, but from where I was standing the lights noticeably dimmed. Then when I touched John the same thing happened. Less so, but still.
6 times. I counted. I got shocked 6 times by the 4th song. Apparently Saysha and John were getting shocked when they touched each other too. Ah!!! It's funny, don't get me wrong, but distracting as all hell.
After Falling Stars I let everybody know what was going on and asked the sound guy if he had any suggestions:
"...switch on your amp?"
"Switch on my amp?"
"Is there a ground switch on your amp?"
"Oh. Yeah, probably. ... Oh yeah! Funny that. Oh, that's so much nicer, I can't even tell you. Thank you!"
Nice. Problem solved.
It was a glorious night, John's parents were there from Arkansas, and his Aunt from St. Louis, Ryan's friend Brian from Cyber Christ came, Demetra was there to rock out (check them out this Saturday at Luna Lounge!), Joe from Noisebin, Romeo of Strictly Platonic, Mark, Jacob, Leslee, Will, Abbie, Scott, Bill, Brook, Rich, The Anabolics, Andrew, all of our wonderful friends who are too numerous to list! We love you guys so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming!
We missed you. We really did. It's so good to be home.
