Show 50: Acoustic Porn: Hello, is there anybody out there?
Buenos Dias-
Before we get into the 50th show festivities breakdown, I must mention that we will be moving the blog from Myspace to that "other" social network and quite possibly a few different places. The reasons for this are many and if you would like to discuss them, feel free to call our Bass Player and technology consultant: Brent "The Beard" Kastlerhofenbrauwenstienivitz.
So back to the 50th show. On Saturday April 30th we played the 2010 "Acoustic Prom" @ The Beaumont club (Why does that always look like "Porn"?) . Yes, we were roped into playing yet another acoustic show. This show was basically a group of local musicians / bands playing songs acoustically for a large group of individuals dressed to the 9's as if they were going to a prom. Well, I guess they were going to a prom....... So there Ryan and I were on the massive Beaumont stage with a monitor guy (wtf?) and a very douche-like front of house guy. We played a short set in the allotted 25 minutes for a small group of people. Somewhere in the middle of the set we commemorated our 50 shows with a shot and a moment of silence for Brent's illustrious beard. It was low key, mellow and all the things that a typical Waiting for Signal show are not. However, it was still fun for us and yet another reminder that we all have sorely missed playing shows since Levi's ankle breaking encounter at the Cat House Brothel in Nevada. But alas, after some reconstructive surgery and a robotic ball joint, he is back!
When we look back at the past 50 shows there were some really great moments some not so great moments but I wouldn't change a thing.
Till you read again,
Gene
