on the road again.......






first two shows of the spring tour......are in the books.

seattle was lovely. it is always nice mixing on an old school midas xl console through a decent speaker system.

after soundcheck, we met up with dax + wendy for some top-shelf tai food at typhoons near the pike st market/showbox theater.
and let me tell you, the giant garlic prawns were truly giant.
the show went very well, despite a few unruly idiots that just wanted to fight and push.

the next day we took a long drive through the mountains towards spokane.
the crowd in spokane was great, and in many ways made up for those few idiots from seattle regardless of the c-market club and sound system.

i am glad that this tour is regional for the first two weeks....falling mostly on weekends. it is giving us the opportunity to get back into the "road groove" gently.
it gives us a respite, at home, between weekend shows.

after a couple regional weeks, it will be much easier to conquer a month of touring, going to sleep at 4am, waking at 9am, driving all day, working all night.....until 4am.....again.
