Tonight was a bit of an anomaly. We're not sure what happened. Maybe everyone who experienced our awesomeness last night at Slackers was too tuckered out to enjoy it here, too. Or maybe it's just not the best idea to book two shows in two different venues in the same town back-to-back nights. Dunno. But the reality of it was that there was hardly anybody at the Red Rooster.
But we took the stage. We were a little late getting started, because we kept hoping that more people would come through the door. Instead, it seemed the people that were there started to leave. But we try to do what we do. We powered through. Though, it's sometimes hard to find that energy when the seats are empty.
We had planned to do Junebug Karaoke tonight -- where people sign up to sing a song with us. It has been a fun hit in the past. Unfortunately, only two people signed up and of the two one wasn't there and the other was the coffee house owner. And as it stands, since we started late, we didn't even get to his song before we had to pull the plug.
Sometimes you just have to realize when things aren't working in a room. I dunno. It wasn't happening tonight.
I don't mean to diminish anyone that WAS there. There were a few folks there that stayed for the whole show and we visited afterward and a couple folks bought some t-shirts and CDs. We know you guys were there, we felt your presence and we love you with all our hearts.
On the positive side, we played "Hell-Bent Woman" tonight. Since the Rooster is a family-friendly environment, we did change the lyric to "Heck-Bent Woman." Although Anthony still sung the line about getting herpes. So it goes.
Next time.
