Sweaty Rock Stars
Well this weekend was fun. On Saturday my band went to Lewisville for
the "Ampifest" in the afternoon and then had a road trip to Norman
Oklahoma to play at "Mr. Bills". We even had fans go with us and
support us on Oklahoma. The shows went well, although the people at
these places were kind of sparse. The biggest thing at the Lewisville
show was the heat. It was about 95 on the concrete at the outside
amphitheater. I think I must've looked like a sweaty rock star while I
was jumping on stage. It was kinda funny. I'd get some energy for
maybe 20 seconds and hop up and down and then the heat would pull me
down. The other members were the same way. I must've looked like we
were all about to die. Like it was a sideshow at a circus "Mommy look
at the funny men, why are they panting?" We were all sweating and
dragging our feet. I turned my amp up way too loud and let the
vibrations create a little wind. Sure I was deaf, but I had a musical
air conditioner. Some members had towels to wipe their faces. I
envied them. If sweat was natures way of keeping us cool, nature sure
did a bad job. On top of that you end up stinking. I'm glad that show
was outside. Next time we will get one of those Micheal Jackson mist
fans and let it blow water on us during the show. Then we can all
moonwalk off the stage.
Thought of the Day
Charlie Bucket: [W]hat was that we just went through?
Willy Wonka: Hsaw Aknow.
Mrs. Teevee: Is that Japanese?
Willy Wonka: No, that's Wonka Wash spelled backwards.

I don't know if I'd want to use a mist machines around a lot of electrical instruments. Oh course, it could make for an interesting finale.
