report on the show last friday

it went really well, we didn't fuck up too much, and while i thought the 2nd half would be stronger, i think we actually played better during the first half, for the most part. we played:

charisma
inspire
birthday suit
bitterlust
on the hill
the cliche (tentative title)
get bored
susan sontag
popstar, for sure
house frau
oh tyler

we had about 30-40 friends and friends of friends come out for us, so that was pretty awesome, even our fucking housemates had high remarks for us, and they're tough little bitches to satisfy. charlie's band two star spark did a really good job opening up, and they had like 25-30 people come out for them too! the only down point in the night was raencloud showing up late and taking forever to soundcheck, some kind of issue with the banjo not being loud enough. i think what they wanted to do would have been really cool if they would have had their shit at all together, but, like i called dylan earlier in the day, and he was like oh, we're gonna get together right now and figure it out and improvise, it'll be awesome, but it really, well our friend nick was like, i want to punch that guy in the face. i think it could have been cool if it had been more worked out, but for the most part everyone either sat down and looked bored or ran to the bar or outdoor deck.

funniest thing all night, besides calling my roommate andrei a bottom on stage, was the sound guy really liked our performance, and was like, y'all want a bass player? we might give him a call when we get back into town, he was super cool and very nice, totally easy to work with.

oh yeah, the new centuries cancelled on us that morning, cuz their drummer got totally sick with some serious hospital thing, so they couldn't work out a replacement in time. that was a real bummer.
