Now We're Working


Greetings Everyone!

We've gigged several times and it feels great to be playing. We'll have played at least everyday from here on out, but more than likely, several times a day. With the capability to do acoustic sets with minimal set ups, we can squeeze small venues in during the day and play big shows at night. There's a lot of gear for a rock band- mains (giant speakers), subs (speakers for the low frequencies), mics and stands, amps, mixer boards, cables, power cords, drums, guitars, keyboards, horns, etc etc etc. We have a cargo van and a pickup truck at this base to load in and out of and many of these cases have some weight to them. It sure would be nice to have a group of roadies!

Nothing new to report. The bad guys outside the "wire" occasionally try and do something stupid- on occasion, we find out a little before, but more typically it seems we learn about it afterwards. This base's nickname is "Mortaritaville" for a reason. I personally view it as similar odds to a lightening strike. Nothing to worry about, this place is very well fortified, the bad guys are terrible shots, and the countermeasures are pretty extreme, serving as a deterrent.

My time at the computer has ended- have a great day and I'll write again soon!

Best!

J-
