Show Journal 2006-09-14
Day 5 – This was the easiest day of the tour yet as I slept in my own bed, used my own shower and ate in own kitchen. Nothing rock and roll about that. I’ll take it though. The show tonight was fun. Very poorly attended, but fun. In fact Dave joked we should call this the “Is it still Tuesday tour” due to all of the rotten attendances. Top Of The Fair and Mourningstar both made it to the show which was cool since both had broken vans to contend with over the past two days. The Coterie opened up the show with more hot shredding than you could possibly imagine. Pretty cool if you ask me and more impressive for their third show. TOTF went next and unfortunately a lot of people there to see The Coterie cleared out so it felt pretty empty. They played well though and that’s the sign of a solid band. Mourningstar rocked. I thought it was the best I’ve seen them play so far. They seemed at ease on the big stage and played a little more aggressively than the last two shows. Jason nearly gave himself a concussion with his guitar but that was half the fun. We went last and thankfully a few more people from the bar next door rolled in the door so we had a few people left. Our set was pretty good but I could barely even hold my pick by the last two songs. In retrospect it was probably from wasting my day away on MySpace. My hands had gotten a week long break from messages, gossip and comments and this was their way of punishing me. Thanks to all who stuck around.
