The Never Ending Gig Thread!

[gibby mcfender]

Just got back home from the trip to NACA Nationals in Charlotte, NC. w00t!!!

Headlining a nationwide convention of collegiate activities boards on a Saturday night? We'll take it!!

In the final minutes before that curtain dropped and our 15 minute set started

After we tore down, packed up, and headed to "marketplace" (floor or expo type deal where we had a booth) I snapped the photo below of that huge ass stage (those are floor-to-ceiling projection screens that were playing camera feeds from the stage during showcases) and I tried to get a shot of as many seats as possible in one pic. I counted... 2,250. As it was a convention, it was damn near packed. Biggest crowd I've ever played for.

Looking down onto a section of the "marketplace".

Speaking of nothing to do with whatever thread we are on, I need to get my drums setup... I can't play for shit, but I can keep time, and I figure with all the talented guitar players that are going to be at P-stock, I might as well practice drumming... I really need to get a bass...
