Holiday's?

Happy belated 4/20 day, and happy early Cinco De Mayo! I found a little clip of the infamous April holiday being celebrated in Boulder, CO online. Oh, there were only about 10,000 people toking up, that’s it. Is it time for reform?

The Sammies world has been pretty dull. We have been working hard getting our cover in order for 500 Songs for Kids. It’s a great cause and put on by a great man, Josh Rifkind. We fixed up our amps last night, and used all of our support hours with Freedom Sr. to get it done, thanks Steve. I can tell you one thing though; my amp is fucking loud again! I can hardly crank it past 2, and that’s no lie. It would hold it’s own in an amphitheater not even mic’d up. A wee bit of home recording has gone on, just kicking it around for fun, but you have to start somewhere. The new Presonus fire studio has really helped. It is so easy to use! I wish we had that stuff growing up.

BRMC was in town Tuesday, and since I had never seen them live, and b/c I feel the need to support good shows when they come, I went with various other Sammies. Earlier in the day I stopped by Visulite to help with load in, and all of the guys with BRMC were very nice. They only had about 60 road cases! They had been in Charlotte since Sunday night, and got some well needed rest and showers, minus the construction in Charlotte cutting off the water for a brief time. I thought they put on a really good show, can’t say the same for the opening act, but maybe it wasn’t my biscuit, or cup of tea some say. I remembered earlier in the day, hauling in atomic strobe lights. Oh, by about song seven I wished I had left them outside in the trailer; so blinding I quit looking at the stage. Not to be a blog snob, sorry to point out just flaws, here’s a positive comment, the sound was amazing. Once I felt like I could no longer watch the stage for fear of a seizure, I watched the sound man dialing it in. Visulite is small, as compared to the other places BRMC play, and it’s hard to crank it there, but they did, and it sounded great. Some friends went next door to Loft and saw the guys after the show just hanging out, minus drummer.

CD is still getting duplicated; we’re trying to get all of the embedded codes correct. You know, one of those things you never consider having to do when you make a CD. None-the-less, it will be for the better.

As always, feel free to email us, we’d love to hear from you.
