Here is a short list of the things that went wrong on Friday night, Friday night being our big gig that we'd been looking forward to for weeks.

-We couldn't find the backing sequence for one of the songs we wanted to play.
-Get to the gig and the main band apologise for the pa. It's really underpowered, made up from a bucnh of old (we're talking 70's) gear with no active crossovers. There was no eq save for the seven band on the desk so they had to go out and get one, but then didn't have enough balanced leads for both mics.
-I fell over walking up the stairs carrying a keyboard and a box of leads and stuff and bruised both my knees.
-We're told the pa is running off one powerboard and if we push the levels too hard the circuit breaker will pop shutting the system down until someone goes and resets it. This has already happened a couple of times.
-The earthing is dodgy and someone gets zapped by their instrument. There's talk of shutting the gig down even though it's sold out.
-We realise we left two keyboard stands and powerboards at the gig on Wednesday night. Dan sets off in peak hour traffic to see if they're still there.
-Nothing has gone wrong for a while, we go on in an hour so we try to find out about our rider. Turns out our drink cards were given to someone to give to us but he thought they were his, and has disposed of them all. We get $20 out of the pocket of one of the organisers between the four of us.

Surprisingly enough the gig went really well, no complaints except it would have been nice to be louder.Lots of people dance, we make fun of the e'd up yuppies afterwards. I saw Derek. Hi Derek!

No gigs for a while, time to concentrate on other things like getting an ep out. I've got my bedroom all set up for making music, made a crazy track yesterday. Fun fun fun! robot
