Leaving today.. bump!

Thanks! I'm glad someone got to make it. That venue was a really nice one to perform in. The audience was incredibly enthusiastic and really into the show. That isn't always the case for us... especially near larger metropolitan areas. Coincidentally, last night was the first night I've performed the piece from memory... it was a little nerving.

With regards to the cadenza... I swore we were close to U of M territory.. we passed signs for Ann Arbor on the way to the gig. I didn't realize that MSU was close until after the show, when someone bumped into me and grumpily shot a "You played the wrong fight song!!" at me in the restroom.

The vocal tunes are a little boring... with electric bass, our parts are useless.

After the show, I really really really had to pee.. normally I stick around, and collect all the bras and panties thrown on stage. (Ewww... most of our audience is in the above 60 crowd!)

Hope to see more people in the future!

One more bump...

We have two more gigs, then back home!

Michigan is a great state for wonderful crowds, and appreciative audiences. And, it gorgeous up here!

It'd be great to see more tubenetters on the road!
