Show Journal 2006-04-01
Can’t believe we’ve never played in Olympia before. We’ve driven past or through it probably 100 times, but never had a show there. Too bad, since from what I can tell they have a pretty good thing going on there. The people were nice and the show was pretty fun. Starting Over started off the night well with some good songs and a Face To Face cover. Jaded 52 was up second and sounded pretty good as well. They upped the ante a bit but performing not one but two Face To Face covers. Unfortunately they covered the only two songs I know how to play on guitar so we had to rule out one of our own. Go Get The Scissors was third and sounded pretty solid too. Wish I could play that well at their age. Hell, I wish I could play that well now. No Face To Face cover but that’s ok. Go Get The Scissors are also the ones responsible for setting up the show so we’d like to thank them for that now. Our set was interesting. No one really left, but at the same time no one really looked interested either. I don’t think they knew what to think of us. It was fun to play again (after cancelling all those shows) and we actually saw a few people singing along so I’d say the night was a success. I do wish Justin had been fully mobile (he’s still in a boot for his ankle) so they could have gotten the “full experience” but maybe next time. Thanks again to the Manium folks and especially to GGTS. Next time we’ll hope to catch a pirate fight.
