Philadelphia pt 2

Philly is a really cool city. We stuck around for a second day (we'd hoped for a third too, but we just couldn't find a gig. *sigh* off to Baltimore...)

Anyway, we played another open mic night. Again, hosted by Boy Wonder. He's a pretty cool guy and was quite patient with us being obnoxious and demanding.
It was at the Tritone, shown here


We played two songs:
I am the Greatest - right before we started playing, the high hat fell apart in 3 places. Dave spent the first half of the song trying to fix it and the second half with his snare drum way too close to the recorder (that part's probably my fault, but I'm still blaming him).
Our House - we lost the tempo in the beginning, but once we found it again, this song went pretty well.


Lessons learned:
1. mic placement. Don't suck at it.
2. Plug everything in. Why do I keep forgetting this?
