Day 8 - Austin Community Tavern

Today was fun. Headed to Steger for a gig. On the way we met with Fazio again to deal with amps and he took us to Portillos where I got a Maxwell Polish and onion rings. We then headed to the Priceline Doug booked which as we went he found out it looked like a crack house. We drove by a roadside motel and laughed at how terrible it was, and got to where the motel was supposed to be. Nothing. Just a very bad part of town. We then found out Maps was taking us to the wrong place and the hilarious motel was where we booked. We left and decided to head to the gig and not stay there.

The gig was great. Really nice room and great stage and nice drumset (Tama). Rodrigo and Gerry Hundt both came out plus some harp and guitar guys I know from various places. Gerry and Rodrigo both sat in. The food there was okay, I got “fajitas” which was just grilled beef chopped up I think. Another thing, was my amp sounded terrible. The curtains behind me were sucking up all the treble, but easy fix…just put the cymbal case out back of it!

After the gig we headed back to Nick Moss’ place to sleep in the cold basement.Baca lagi
