Show Journal 2005-09-10
Holy crap, what an awesome show! Highlight of my life … we’re playing a song (I think it was Rise Again) and the PA cuts out. We finish the song minus vocals and are left fumbling around on stage killing time while the sound guy tries to fix the PA. Justin is about to break into the good old “anyone know any good jokes” routine and then some people start yelling for us to play a song. It’s quickly decided by some people up front that we should play ‘Ghosts Of Monochrome’ because they know the words and can sing along. We look at each other and decide we might as well. We start playing the song at full stage volume and quickly notice the whole front of the crowd knows all the words and are singing it so loud I can hear it over the music. Amazing. Absolutely, completely and totally fucking amazing. Thank you Richland for having the most supportive music fans ever. The rest of the show was pretty great but those 3 minutes just summed it all up for me. Thanks to Dustin and the folks at Ray’s, our Countdown homies, This Day’s End, all our friends in Richland and best wishes to Cryssi!
