It was great to have a gig so close to home for once. This was our first gig at the Gaslighter Theater in downtown Campbell, appearing again with our shredding friends The
Children of Umlaut (and a couple other bands thrown in there as well). The Gaslighter is a very cool western/vaudville style theater (home also to weekly melodrama shows) with a nice, spacious stage and convenient load-in area. We were up first, but we still had to set up like mad (in fact, I had to put together my pedal board and as much of my rack as I could outside in the alley before they opened the loading doors for us). Set up was going quite smoothly until we tried to lift Mark’s guitar rack up onto the stage… and proceeded to dump it on the stairs. No harm though – despite Mark’s worst fears. After coming to an understanding the with house sound tech (they always seem to freak out when we tell them what we’re running and what we need to hook up) we got our sound check… the advantage to playing first. The somewhat light attendance at last week’s show at the Time out was offset by the big show of support we got at the Gaslighter. It was great to see lots of folks from
WestGate as well as
Design Reactor – the latter being literally 20 feet away from the back door! The set went off swimmingly – no major mishaps… just a few missteps and miscues here and there. The response was great and we moved quite a bit a merchandise, so it was thumbs up all around. We had several folks on hand with camcorders in-hand, so as soon as I can sort through all that video, I’ll post some highlights. Stay tuned.
