so luckily our show last night was in lenexa kansas (a suburb of kansas city), and was only a not so hefty 6 miles away from our hotel. i think i have a pretty nasty sinus infection right now... that was a tough show for me to get through. small small small venue... but very cool and intimate. like austin there is a smoking ban in the bars in lenexa... now i know some people really have a problem with this, but from the vantage point of a singer... this is an absolute life saver. so much more difficult to sing in smokey bars than in 'fresh aired' ones.
we actually called an audible on the show and did some material from the vault that we thought would be more fitting for the room and the audience... our assesment was spot on and the set went over very well. sonny stripped down his kit, doug played his small pedal board, bradley busted out the glockenspeil and i dawned an acoustic guitar the entire evening. it was a great show... we had a lot of fun and still managed to bring the energy that we pride our live show on.
got to the hotel relatively early and watched 'the assasination of jesse james' ... thats a great film. casey aflec is a brilliant actor... as is brad pitt. his acting skills are often overlooked because of how the media has publicized his private life... but really at the end of the day, hes a damn good actor.
alright... day off in Kansas City today... im going to get some rest, work on a new piece of gear that we're trying to integrate in to our live shows, we're thinking about going to see 'cloverfield' at some point too... looks like a pretty stellar movie.
