JoS @ Laughing Lizard Lounge

Tonight, I dropped in on JoS at their latest show. I had never been to the Laughing Lizard before (which is ironic, considering that I lived up the street for about two years). It's not the worst place I've ever played, but I wasn't particularly blown away by it. The acoustic of the room were actually pretty good, but the lighting left a little to be desired (a single pole with two cans using a blue gel on it).

Rob pulled the first set, and I sat in for some of the remainder of the show. When I got to the show, there were a few people hanging around the bar, listening to the set.

After the set break, Rob and I chatted for a bit, then I got up to play. The set list had me singing some pretty hard parts right out of the box, but I think that I managed to pull the vocal okay. I had been rehearsing with FoI earlier in the day, so I was plenty warmed up on bass (fortunately).

The crowd sort of came and went throughout the evening. We never had all that many people, but we were never alone, either. One guy in particular (thanks again, Jon) was completely into everything that we did. He even asked us to autograph the demo CD when we finished up for the night.
