Awkward show

So the Paramount thing was just weird.

First off we played 5 songs so the time just disappeared.

Secondly it felt as if we were playing in someones house who did not want us to be there. Little kids covered their ears. Most people just walked by. Pretty funny. A decent amount of our friends showed up so that was cool.

The best was the guy who takes the tickets for people coming to see the movie. He looked to be like 167 years old and had the unfortunate position of being right beside us as we played. Simply put the dude hated our guts. He crammed giant wads of something in his ears and told everyone he could about our infernal racket. Or some other old man phrase representing his disdain.

The problem was we were supposed to play in a different part of the theatre but the high falootin donors decided to throw a party at the last minute and when you donate tens of thousands of dollars to your cause, you let them do whatever the hell they want. So we got relocated downstairs. The whole band felt awkward. No one really got into it.

The plus side is two people bought our EP. A quick $14. Um. Yeah.

Next week will be interesting. We play a place called Shakespeare's which is in a douchebaggy section of Austin but we have huge kick ass speakers we are bringing so we're going to rock the fuck out of those college frat boys and homogeneous sorority chicks.

And by that I mean play Nickleback covers. And start a bar fight. And buy a boat. And call each other brah as in "Hey Brah pass the bong". Or maybe "chief."

Kidding it'll be great.
