Carrie, Chen and I have been busy this week, playing 2 acoustic shows in 2 days. We played Monday night at a venue called "Howl at the Moon," a cool piano bar on the second floor of the Universal Studios City Walk. It was a shorter set, and we had some sound isssssues (like the bumping of dance music coming through the open wall behind us), but we all had a good time regardless. I saw a familiar face in the crowd and realized that it was actress Sarah Silverman (Ned's angry girlfriend on "School of Rock"). It was nice to play on a "real" piano (it wasn't really real...it was a digital keyboard in a baby grand shell. Still nice to sit down.) I was thankful I didn't have to tote my Roland to either of these shows. The poor Roland is experiencing some health issues in it's old age...the imput jack is loose and crackles, the sounds don't compare to newer models, and now the A key is not working properly. Oy.
On Tuesday, we rocked out at Florentine's Tuscany Club in Downtown Fullerton. Our set started unusually late, and we played to an unresponsive crowd, so we threw out a couple songs we had planned to do (including a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"). Carrie's mom and a couple others made the long drive down from Nor Cal to hear the show and surprise her (I think she saw her mom during our 5th song. Her response? "What's going on here?")
