EARTHFEST

we're just home from Earth Fest and very tired. but it was great!!!

that's a picture up there of the Hatch Shell next to the sign. it was my first time at the hatch shell. it's very pretty on the inside.

guess who else was there?

CRASH KINGS. yep. and it was awesome. the radio guys hosting the event REALLY played up the fact that Mike and Tony are from Andover. and then when they got onstage Tony said something like, "it's always great to be in Boston because we're from.....Andover....." and then he started laughing. it was great.

they had some sound issues at first. the clavinet had no sound during You Got Me. so, there was minor panic from Tony as well as me and Ryan. Mike stalled for a minute and Tony and the crew ran around with plugs and things trying to make it work. eventually, there was sound.

but even after they fixed the sound the drums were too loud, and then the drums were too quiet. and Tony kept frantically making "drums are too loud" motions to the sound guys during the piano breaks.

ONCE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT they played a great show. and the people seemed to love them. they played after Marcy Playground. i didn't really care about their music. they played Sex and Candy and it was the only song that everybody really clapped and cheered for.

of course - more later in the complete recap with photos and links.

we heard Gin Blossoms play. i knew more songs than i thought i did! that was exciting. and then the main attraction, Collective Soul. we didn't stay for the whole set because we figured there would be total madness trying to get back home on the T.

not sure what's up for tonight.... hopefully low key something since we're tired and tomorrow will be a loonnggg exciting day. really exciting. we're all REALLY looking forward to it.

alright friends.

Ryan got an awesome Crash Kings swag package in the mail today!!! perfect timing. and it came with these ski documentaries that feature Crash Kings music. we're watching them right now. skiing is crazymaking. and so far, there's no Crash Kings music.

ALRIGHT. i hope everyone is having a great day. stay cool. stay classy.


talk to you later
