#65 Hard Rock Cafe on 8-25-11

AMAZING. This show set a new standard for how I think shows should be. We played to an audience of dinner patrons from a variety of cities/countries. The stage was SO large, so we all had room to stretch out and perform. I had a headache and felt super nauseous right up to the show, but Wayne told me to shut up and quit bitching. Somewhere into playing our first song I felt elated and didn't feel bad the rest of the evening. It was SUCH a fine show. Strangely, it was supposed to be Wayne's last show (for a variety of reasons) but we made no further mention of it, as I really felt that it was not going to be his last show. We also debuted a new song, "Counting Out Your Life".

We played in the Alter-knit lounge with the Jake Incao band from New York, a familial connection with our friend at Evil Seed productions who helped us play our SXSW showcase. Half of the Active Set played with Jake Incao, just so they could travel light. Also playing was Sounder, The Royalty and the Young Whiskey.
