Day 1 - Part 3 "Where were you, when they built the beer wall to heaven?"

We arrived at the G&M Distributors warehouse thirty minutes before the gig. When I asked Aaron what they did at G&M, he simply responded, “Distribute.” That is what our relationship has come to on day one. We quickly discovered that we were playing for a political rally for a state senator. If it wasn’t the giant signs with the guy’s name on it, the business suits and sundresses certainly helped. When we turned the corner to the event floor, we quickly saw the greatest sight there is to be scene: a wall of beer. 11,664 cans of beer and 3,888 cans of pepsi. Did I mention the beer? Our stage was made of pallets but who cares?! Did you see that wall of beer?!

The gig went well and the audience was appreciative after the performance. We did have one woman wave at us from the audience and then motion to play softer by waving her hands from above her head downward and then doing that part from the chicken dance where you talk with your hands. When you think things are going well, seeing something like that takes the wind out of your sails. That aside, it was a wonderful evening.

After the performance when we were moving our equipment from the stage to our cars, Aaron got a phone call. He tried to contain his excitement as he heard the news…. What’s the news? Can’t tell you yet. Hopefully by tomorrow!
