Hello friends and neighbors,
Yesterday me and the KRB also played The Sawdust Art Festival in Laguna Beach on the same stage as Mr. @Holdsg did earlier in the week. It was a pretty cushy gig if you didn't count the traffic, the crowds, and the inconvenient load in/out. But I'm not complaining.
My day started as I drove down the main drag of my hometown to make my way to the freeway about 8:30am.
It was a good commute into the OC until I got to the Laguna Canyon where the road narrows.
But I made it to the venue on time. This is what it looks like out front. Our loading zone was to the left of the main entrance.
We went in through this side door by all of the kitchens in the food court.
Then we wheeled our gear down this narrow hallway into to food court.
On our way through the food court we passed the saloon stage where we played last year. A duo was setting up.
And we kept on going, dragging our carts through the thick sawdust.
Until we got to the stairs. It wasn't too bad. Really.
It was lovely at the upper deck. We had a waterfall, a brook, and lovely art pieces.
The boss lady is already busy writing out checks for everyone.
Hal gets set up. Jack is running sound for us today.
The rest of the lads get set up. We actually had room to spread out a little.
I brought my small rig. It was plenty.
The stage is all set.
Jack at the mixer. He also brought his Dean Hardtail bass because his girls are singing a few songs during our sets.
It looks like we are just about ready to start.
I think Hal looks like his is ready.
Mario says, "Hey, can you get my whole kit in the picture?"
Kelly and Jack's girls get up to sing a couple. The crowd just ate them up.
On the breaks we go downstairs and check out the acoustic duo. Nate on the DB is a great player. The guitar player did most of the singing and strummed the cowboy chords and Nate did all the soloing.
I'll be right back in the next post. Thanks for looking!
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
