Cancelling first gig in 3 months. Stupid hurricane...

[Big Hoss]

My band has taken the summer off for various reasons, and we were scheduled to play our first show tomorrow night...

Then, Hurricane Harvey.

We were scheduled to play a brew club outdoor end of summer bash with 2 other bands.

I got a call from the brew club president earlier today, telling me the stage is almost under water, and all the power is submerged. So no go. It'll be at least 2 weeks AFTER the storm passes before he can get he damage he knows about fixed...

Anyone else cancelling gigs / having gigs cancel on you for the weekend due to this storm?

 

[Oddly]

If a few gigs getting cancelled is the worst effect the hurricane has, I reckon that'd do nicely.

We are cancelled tonight and Sunday too.



I've been busy enough recently that i really don't care!

It looks like Harvey could be worse than Sandy was here. Be safe.

 

[Basshappi]

To all our Texas members in the path of the storm, stay safe!

We have an indoor gig at a car show tomorrow night. Just sitting here waiting on Harvey now. Sheesh.

Hey everybody, stay tight and dry down there in Texas , hopefully the storm will spare you all the worst. Best wishes and remember , " You can't hold no groove, if you ain't got no pocket..."

Not too bad in Houston so far.



I am currently at my supplier, picking up supplies.

The school was to have a "start of the school year bash" for the teachers. A few of us had been practicing a few songs to play. The party was cancelled since the school is being used as an evacuation center. Everyone was told they had to be out of the building by 5:30. I was one of the last ones out right as the Red Cross trucks were rolling in.

Stay safe, Texans!
We (Santa Cruz) had to cancel a gig at the harbor due to a tsunami a few years ago. That was pretty crazy.

Yup, was supposed to hit the stage at 9:30 tonight in Corpus Christi. Glad to be dry in Dallas. Hope everybody stays safe.

Just finished a gig in Humble, TX an hour ago. Other than the bar tender there were only 3 people in the place that is normally packed on Friday nights.

I am in West Houston and it's starting to get a little crazy. Another tornado warning and the wind is picking up. The endless rain and slow moving storm is going to cause a lot of flooding. Hope all is well with you and be safe!

To all in Texas......Use your heads....stay safe.....

I have friends and family in Wimberley/Austin, Dallas and Tyler. Wishing the best for all... This is No Joke!

At least it's a decent reason to cancel. Don't put your fans in danger. A lot of us on talkbass had some serious property damage from hurricane Mathew out here on the east coast. I got off lucky and just had to replace a few sections of my privacy fence where some of the 4x4 posts snapped like toothpicks. I have co workers that lost their homes and everything they owned because of the flooding from that storm.

Had to go move the car to higher ground about thirty minutes ago,tho this street floods easily. Still , we are in the early stages of this.



Hang in there........

Dallas and Tyler are far. They will be ok. Austin and Wimberley will more than likely deal with flooding. It's starting to poor down harder where I am in South Austin.

Although my block in Angleton was a river last night, it drained before getting up to the houses. One section of wood fence wants to fall down in my yard, but... we will rebuild...
